Enriched Edition. A New Thought Inquiry into Consciousness, Creative Mind Power, and the Spiritual Laws of Personal GrowthBy Thomas Troward
Length29h 11m
About this audiobook
Thomas Troward's Riddle of Life is a concise yet ambitious work of metaphysical inquiry, seeking to reconcile spiritual intuition with rational law. Written in the lucid, orderly prose characteristic of early twentieth-century New Thought literature, the book examines the nature of consciousness, causation, individuality, and the creative power of mind. Its style is philosophical rather than devotional, marked by careful distinctions and a juridical precision that places it within the broader context of idealist thought, esoteric Christianity, and mental science. Troward, a former divisional judge in British-administered India, brought to metaphysics the habits of legal reasoning and comparative reflection. His exposure to Eastern religious ideas, combined with his Christian background and interest in science, helped shape his conviction that spiritual principles operate according to intelligible laws. Riddle of Life reflects this synthesis: a disciplined attempt to articulate how human thought participates in a universal creative order. This book is recommended for readers drawn to philosophical spirituality, New Thought, and the intellectual history of mind-power teachings. Those seeking practical inspiration grounded in systematic argument will find Troward both demanding and illuminating.
