Thomas Troward, 1909. Complete text.
Five years after Edinburgh, Troward gave these twelve lectures in London at the Doré Gallery. The tone has changed. Edinburgh argues; the Doré lectures assume the argument is settled and ask what it is like to live inside it.
The opening lecture, Entering Into The Spirit Of It, is the one most often quoted and the one most often quoted badly. Troward is not describing enthusiasm. He is describing the deliberate act of occupying the mood of a thing until you reason from inside it rather than at it, which is the practice Neville Goddard later formalised as assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
The later lectures move into explicitly scriptural material. We have kept them, because removing them would misrepresent what Troward thought he was doing.
