The Creative Process in the Individual

Beschreibung

"In the present volume I have endeavored to set before the reader the conception of a sequence of creative action commencing with the formation of the globe and culminating in a vista of infinite possibilities attainable by everyone who follows up the right line for their unfoldment. "I have endeavored to show that, starting with certain incontrovertible scientific facts, all these things logically follow, and that therefore, however far these speculations may carry us beyond our past experience, they nowhere break the thread of an intelligible connection of cause and effect." Thomas Troward was Her Majesty's Assistant Commissioner and later Divisional Judge of the North Indian Punjab from 1869 until his retirement in 1896. It is this later period for which he is best remembered and most celebrated; in it he was at last able to devote himself to his great interest in metaphysical and esoteric studies. Troward is one of the founding fathers of Mental Science and a leading proponent of the 'New Thought' movement, a forerunner of what is now known as 'New Age' thinking.

Autor

British philosopher, novelist, and judge Thomas Troward (1847-1916) is renowned for his writings on the mind's ability to create and for the foundational ideas of mental science. He was an Indian Civil Service judge who was born in India and had his education in London. Troward was a key player in the New Thought movement, which stressed the influence of thought on reality and the strength of the mind. The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science and The Dore Lectures on Mental Science, two of his writings on the subject, are still read and studied today. The combination of Troward's legal training and his in-depth familiarity with Eastern philosophy and religion affected his method of approaching mental science. He underlined the need of cultivating a positive outlook and harnessing the power of thinking to accomplish our objectives and enhance our lives. The discipline of self-help and personal development has been significantly influenced by Troward's contributions to mental science. Several well-known people, such as the writer Napoleon Hill and the spiritual teacher Ernest Holmes, have been influenced by his beliefs. Nowadays, Troward is regarded as a founding member of the New Thought movement and a significant contributor to the growth of contemporary spiritual and self-help books.
