Thought Power

About this book

A thought seems intangible, yet Annie Besant describes it as something with form, influence and consequences for the person who produces it.

Thought Power belongs to Besant's Theosophical teaching on the mind and the invisible effects attributed to mental activity. She discusses discipline, intention and the cultivation of deliberate thinking through a spiritual worldview. For Besant, a thought could carry moral consequences beyond the person thinking it. These ideas belong to Theosophical metaphysics and reflect her conviction that mastering the mind was a form of ethical work.
