The Late, Judge Thomas Troward, (1847-1916) is my mentor and hero. I call him my “secret weapon!” (Oh well, so much for the secret!) His philosophy, among others, is one of the reasons why I became a Life-Coach!

Troward was a Divisional Judge in The Punjab, a mentor, visionary, lecturer, healer, teacher, philosopher, author, and an Honorary Member of the Medico-Legal Society of New York and the First Vice-President of the International New Thought Alliance.

He was actually given one of the highest compliments I think I’ve ever heard a human being give to another…

On Troward..

“..probably the clearest teacher of this infinite healing principle in the world’s history, with the exception of Jesus..’

-Dr. F Bailes

Wow! How’s that for a plug! Even I, with my highest praise for the good judge,  I can’t top that one! It’s funny though, because I always thought that Troward wrote with such prophetic flair that I often associated him with reverence also.

I don’t know if it’s his delivery, or maybe I’m just in tune with what he’s saying, but Troward’s literary style just seems to compliment my reading and comprehension style! His writings “hit home” with me in a way that no other has. Check out this quote:

 “..Judge Thomas Troward’s scientific and spiritual understanding of life has become the bedrock upon which millions of people have built beautiful lives.  The principles he painstakingly detailed in writing are his legacy to us all..”

 -Valerie Thompson and Heather Andrews Dobbs,  Founders and Directors of the Thomas Troward Society

That quote describes what Troward was able to do so well, in my humple opinion and that is to seemlessly meld Spirituality with the scientific world. And now that quantum physics has basically validated most, (if  not all) of Troward’s basic philosophies, it seems that he should take his rightful place amongst the greatest thinkers of our time!

He made me understand that our problems and situations can’t all be worked out using ”Spirituality” alone. We need Spirituality,  of course, but it must be utilized in concert with the scientific, as well as the natural world order, as with anything in life.

Not only was his insight and intellect technically advanced, (especially for his time) his perspective and grasp of The Mental Sciences and Universal Laws is unparalleled. 

But, the most amazing thing about Troward, besides “what” he says, is how he says it! His literary style is unparalled, in my humble opinion. Needless to say, if I had to name one personal influence, (besides my parents), I would consider him to be my number one mentor, of many.

Instead of trying to explain it, I’ll let him do the honors! This paragraph was taken from “The Law and the Word” Remember…this is from the early 1900’s!

Some Facts in Nature

“If I were asked what, in my opinion, distinguishes the thought of the present day from that of a previous generation, I should feel inclined to say, it is the fact that people are beginning to realize that Thought is a power in itself, one of the great forces of the Universe and ultimately the greatest of forces, directing all the others.

This idea seems to be, as the French say, “in the air,” and this very well expresses the state of the case-the idea is rapidly spreading through many countries and through all classes, but it is still very much, “in the air.”

It is, to a great extent, as yet only in a gaseous condition, vague and nebulous and so not leading to the practical results, both individual and collective, which might be expected of it, if it were consolidated into a more workable form.

We are like some amateurs who want to paint finished pictures before they have studied the elements of Art, and when they see an artist do without difficulty what they vainly attempt, they look upon him as a being specially favoured by Providence, instead of putting it down to their own want of knowledge.

The idea is true. Thought, is the great power of the Universe. But, to make it practically available we must know something of the principles by which it works–that it is not a mere vaporous, indefinable, influence floating around and subject to no known laws, but that on the contrary, it follows laws as uncompromising as those of mathematics, while at the same time allowing unlimited freedom to the individual.”

From “The Law and the Word”–Thomas Troward

Is that poetic or what? There’s so much wisdom in just those few paragraphs that it isn’t even funny.  Such as, the artist analogy of how most of us expect to become wealthy beyond our dreams in our own business, even though we haven’t taken a single business class!

 The sad thing is that even though millions have changed their lives using these techniques, the message is over a hundred years old! It  still seems to be “in the air“ as a gaseous , nebulous, vague condition. I would think that by now, a concept that is so practical, natural, powerful and yet Spiritual as this, would have taken the world by storm by now!

The good thing though is that we can change all of that. There is now a “Workable Form,” that has been consolidated, thanks in part to Mr. Troward himself. And just what would that “Workable Form” be?

Here are just some of Thomas Trowards books and lectures. These aren’t books that you simply read, like a “normal” book. His writings are like gems of wisdom that you read,  study,  absorb, reflect, act on and re-read again and again! I highly recommend them all!
