Fragment
Foreword
When Thomas Troward published The Law and the Word in 1917, he clarified one of the most profound truths in metaphysics: that the creative process is not limited to thought alone, but is fully expressed in the spoken word. To speak with faith is to activate universal law.
Decades before affirmations and “positive thinking” became popular phrases, Troward laid down the spiritual science behind them. His message is timeless: by aligning our thoughts and words with divine law, we can consciously participate in creation.
As Editor and Author of this 2025 edition’s Foreword and Afterword, my role is to preserve Troward’s brilliance and bring it forward for today’s seekers. His insights are not relics — they are living principles that continue to shape lives when understood and applied.
It is my hope that as you read these pages, you will discover the transformative power of your own thoughts and words, and learn to speak in harmony with the law that governs all creation.
