The Hidden Power (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Understand Your Spiritual Path by Observing the Universal Spiritual PrinciplesBy Thomas Troward
Length29h 16m
About this audiobook
The Hidden Power gathers Thomas Troward's mature reflections on "mental science," presenting the mind not as a passive mirror of reality but as a formative principle working through law, imagination, and spiritual intention. Written in lucid, measured prose, the essays combine metaphysical argument, scriptural resonance, and quasi-scientific analogy. In the literary context of early New Thought and idealist philosophy, the book stands as a disciplined alternative to mere inspirational writing, seeking to give spiritual causation an intellectual framework. Troward (1847–1916), a British judge who served in colonial India, brought to his metaphysical writings the habits of legal reasoning: definition, inference, and orderly proof. His exposure to comparative religion, his Anglican background, and his later lectures on mental science all informed his conviction that spiritual principles operate with the regularity of natural laws. The Hidden Power reflects a mind trained to reconcile faith, reason, and practical experience. This book is recommended to readers interested in the philosophical foundations of New Thought, the genealogy of modern self-development literature, or the intersection of religion and psychology. Though some assumptions belong to its era, its central inquiry—how thought, belief, and spiritual consciousness shape human life—remains compelling and historically significant.
