5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritual gold, 6 Jan 2008
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This book contains both the Edinburgh and Dore lectures on mental science. The first series of lectures deals with the questions of spirit and matter, the nature of intelligence, the unity of spirit, and the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind. Troward had a knack for conveying profound philosophical matters in a most comprehensible way and for formulating eternal truth so that a child could understand.

In the Edinburgh lectures he explains the difference between form (matter) and being - that the one is the mode of the relative and the mark of subjection to conditions, whilst the other is the truth of the absolute and that which controls conditions. Because spirit is infinite, it is everywhere and must be present at every point in space at the same moment. This is a fundamental fact of all being, expressed in the words "in Him we live and move and have our being."

The relation between spirit and being as idea (from which the elements of time and space are absent) and form (the relative which is dependent on those elements) leads to the fact that pure spirit continually subsists in the absolute and from it all the phenomena of being flow. In proportion to our level of recognition of this fact, our power for producing visible outward results by the action of our thought will grow. This section concludes with a discussion of the practical application of this knowledge in our lives and affairs.

In the first three Dore lectures Troward explores the nature of the Originating or Parent Spirit, the generic relationship of the individual to this all-encompassing spirit, and the way to specialize this relationship in order to obtain greater results than would spontaneously arise by mere generic action. This process is attainable only by a new way of thinking. The sequence implies the realization of a power, an individual to understand it, and the method of applying it based on understanding its nature.

Discussing the life of the spirit and mankind as the vehicle or medium of distribution, he explains the principle of receptiveness and its importance. The concept of Alpha and Omega designates the entire series of causation from the originating moment to the completed result. Although thought creates form, it is feeling that provides vitality to thought: the heart and mind of the matter. In this context, he talks of Messiah and the great affirmative I AM which is the principle of being.

Emphasizing the Oneness of God, Troward points out that Spirit creates from nothing. God is one and this oneness finds root in ourselves, hence the expression "My Father and I are one." Thus the Creative Process proceeds in the individual. The Messiah as fulfillment of the law relates to the importance of individual improvement, serving as both explanatory cause and as a display of the full measure of effects. He contends that the better we understand the creative process, the more the objections to the Gospel narratives lose their relevance.

The author stresses the significance of Monogenesis in relation to the esoteric teaching of the musical octave that fulfills itself in step seven in order to start a new series in the eighth, which becomes the first step again. He hints at a more profound understanding of the doctrine of Christ reflecting deeper phases of the law of being. Other topics dealt with include the legend of the Garden of Eden, the doctrine of the fall and the Animus Dei becoming a husband to the soul rather than a master as more comprehensively investigated in his book Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning.

A very valid point is the vast difference between worship based on fear, ignorance and/or unexplained traditions versus worship in spirit and truth which takes place through reciprocity. Troward's views of the loving givingness of Spirit correspond to the nature of the Father as outlined in the epilogue of The Authentic Gospel of Jesus by Geza Vermes. This mutual love is the mystical marriage that gives birth to an ever improving individual personality in an everlasting process of growth. The metaphor of the shepherd and the stone from Genesis 49:24, Daniel and the Gospels finds its fulfillment in Messiah.

Finally, the author looks at the role of certain nations and religions in history as the expression of the Spirit on both a universal and specialized level. Further relevant information may be found in the last two chapters of Alter Your Life by Emmet Fox. Troward remarks that those who oppose the Hebrew nation must fail by a self-destructive principle inherent in the very nature of the position they adopt. The ultimate message of the lectures is that exterior things are changed by a change in the interior spiritual attitude of the individual. The Messiah represents the principle of love and the new life.

For further mystical interpretations of the Judeo-Christian scriptures and tradition that edify and illuminate, I refer the interested reader to The Hidden Power of the Bible by Ernest Holmes, The Hidden Book in the Bible by Richard Friedman and Cracking the Bible Code by Jeffrey Satinover. For a realization of these truths expressed in music that stirs the soul, I recommend The Sacred Names by Anjani Thomas.
