Thomas Troward (1847-1916) was a British author whose contributions to the New Thought Movement brought him recognition as an influential thinker and philosopher of mental science. Prior to his literary career, Troward served as a Divisional Judge in British-administered India, which influenced his meditative practices and philosophical inquiries. Troward's synthesis of Eastern and Western thought emerged distinctively in his writings, marrying the spiritual teachings of the East with the intellectual rigor of the West. His keen interest in metaphysics and the laws governing the universe is distinctly captured in his seminal work, 'The Hidden Power, and Other Papers upon Mental Science' (1921), a compilation of essays that delve into the probing questions of mind and its potential. Troward's literary style often reflected a scholarly approach, marked by systematic reasoning and an unwavering belief in the causative power of thought. His works paved the way for many who sought to explore the intersections of spirituality, consciousness, and personal growth. Troward's legacy stands firmly in the foundations of New Thought literature and continues to inspire those on a quest for understanding the profound capabilities of the human mind.
