Fun fact
Behrend excels at translating Troward’s dense metaphysics into actionable, vibrant prose. This volume is a triumph of clarity, making high philosophy accessible to the earnest layperson. However, readers seeking rigorous academic analysis of Troward will find it too simplified. It sits firmly in the practical New Thought tradition, bridging the gap between theory and lived experience with unparalleled charisma.

📝 Description: Your Invisible Power: A Presentation of the Mental Science of Thomas Troward (Revised)

RESPECT, TRUST, COMMITMENT. These are the cornerstones of a dedicated relationship between a teacher and a student. For a passionate student yearning to learn and understand the essence of a subject, they must demonstrate these traits before a teacher will take them under their wing. In this case, the teacher was Thomas Troward of Cornwall England and the student was Genevieve Behrend. Not long after her time with Troward, Behrend began her mission in New York City where she established and headed The School of the Builders up until 1925. She then established another school in Los Angeles before touring other major cities throughout North America for the next 35 years as a celebrated lecturer, teacher, and practitioner of Mental Science. Behrend presents the Troward philosophy at its best because of the way her incomparably direct, and dynamic personality relates the life-changing concepts on a personal level. Now it's up to you to respect, trust, and commit.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Behrend’s charismatic style makes profound ideas digestible and actionable, offering a direct path to aligning one's inner world with outer reality. However, this book does not suit readers seeking rigorous academic philosophy or those who prefer dense, theoretical treatises over practical application. If you demand complex metaphysical jargon without the promise of immediate personal utility, you may find the accessible tone lacking in depth. It is strictly for those ready to embrace applied mental science rather than purely contemplative study.

Essential reading

My book club chose this last month. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Would buy from this store again.

Exceeded expectations

A friend in my study group recommended this one. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Five stars from me.
