FOREWORD
The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science stand among the most influential works of the New Thought movement and serve as a foundation for many modern understandings of the power of thought. In these lectures—originally delivered in 1904 and first published in 1909—Thomas Troward reveals the universal principles by which the mind shapes reality.
This edition presents the original, unabridged 1909 text, without modern edits or interpretations. With his logical approach and deeply spiritual insight, Troward explains how mental laws operate, how the conscious and subconscious minds interact, and how this knowledge can be applied to achieve success, health, and personal growth.
This book was so impactful that Genevieve Behrend—Troward’s only personal student—referred to it explicitly in her own writings (Your Invisible Power) as the work that transformed her thinking and her life. She applied Troward’s principles to realize her greatest goals and helped make his teachings accessible to a wider audience.
Troward’s groundbreaking work has influenced countless thinkers and authors, including Charles Haanel (The Master Key System), Florence Scovel Shinn (The Game of Life), Ernest Holmes (The Science of Mind), Emmet Fox (The Mental Equivalent), and Robert Collier (The Secret of the Ages). His ideas laid the groundwork for today’s Law of Attraction teachings and continue to inspire spiritual seekers and self-help writers around the world.
This new edition brings Troward’s timeless wisdom back into focus, offering readers direct access to his original teachings. Whether you are a spiritual seeker or a rational thinker looking to understand the power of consciousness, this book provides the key to the hidden forces of the mind.
