The Hidden Power and Other Essays
The Hidden Power and Other Essays
Updated and gender-neutral
The study of spiritual laws propels us beyond the pitfalls of blind faith toward true spiritual liberty, without which no further progress is possible. It is one thing to believe and practice, but when we know why spiritual principles work as they do, faith achieves a power that can be made to work to our advantage.
In "The Hidden Power and Other Essays," Thomas Troward explores the mechanics and inner-workings of great spiritual laws. His philosophy was that it is not enough to know what the principles are, but we must understand why they are true and precisely how they function. To this end, Troward uses a comprehensive mix of science, mathematics and theology, particularly the Bible, to demonstrate the laws of the body, soul and spirit.
"The Hidden Power and Other Essays" was Thomas Troward's final book. It is comprised of unpublished manuscripts and magazine articles written during Troward's career as a spiritual philosopher and scientist.
"This innermost of all is absolute Spirit. It is life as yet not differentiated into any specific mode. It is the universal life that pervades all things and is at the heart of all appearances. To come into the knowledge of this is to come into the secret of power and to enter into the secret place of living Spirit."

Powerful
Like many works from this time period and of this thought, more than one reading may be required. This is quite the work and I would recommend all with a desire for the true knowledge of self and their relation to the universe to read it.

Interesting origin of American religion
The think everything better religion started in the US, and has many manifestations from Oprah to self help gurus to pentecostal preachers. This book is a fascinating insight into the origins of the movement and relation to Christianity.

I have enjoyed parts like this:
This innermost of all is absolute Spirit. It is Life as yet not differentiated into any specific mode; it is the universal Life which pervades all things and is at the heart of all appearances. (p.7).
