Thomas Troward's The Dore Lectures on Mental Science,
Chapter Five...Alpha and the Omega
Chapter 5 of Thomas Troward's The Dore Lectures on Mental Science, 'Alpha and the Omega,' deals with the necessary completion of the creative process, explaining that every thought, idea, or creative act must return to its source, the individual mind, in the form of manifested reality.
1. The Circularity of the Creative Process
Troward's title, 'Alpha and the Omega,' signifies the completeness of the creative cycle, where the beginning (Alpha) and the ending (Omega) are connected:
Alpha (The Starting Point): The thought, idea, or desire formed in the individual's mind.
Omega (The Destination): The ultimate physical manifestation of that original thought.
The law is that every creative emanation must complete its circuit and return to its point of departure in the form of manifestation. This means that when you project a thought of wealth, health, or harmony, the Universal Law compels the corresponding return of that reality to your personal sphere.
2. The Universal Medium of Thought
The chapter emphasizes that the Universal Mind (or the subjective mind) is the medium through which all individualized creative thought operates.
Your thought is essentially a spiritual energy that leaves your conscious mind and is impressed upon the receptive, formative Universal Mind.
The Universal Mind, acting deductively, takes the quality of the thought you impress upon it and immediately begins to organize corresponding objective conditions to bring that thought into reality.
3. The Power of Intentional Impression
Troward highlights the importance of the deliberate intention behind the thought. While the Universal Mind is not a conscious thinker, it is a perfect executor of the thoughts impressed upon it.
The only check or obstacle to the return of the manifestation is an alteration or contradiction in the original thought by the sender (the individual).
If the individual wavers, fears, or doubts, they impress a new thought on the Universal Mind, interrupting the creative process of the first idea.
4. Resting in Assurance (The Omega)
True success in Mental Science relies on understanding that the completion (the Omega) is certain once the initial impression (the Alpha) has been clearly and confidently made.
The individual must maintain a state of calm assurance and certainty that the creative law is already in motion and is bringing the desired reality back to them.
This rest, or "resting in the assurance," is not passive waiting but the deliberate maintenance of a mental attitude that is harmonious with the idea that has been sent forth. This ensures the creative circuit remains unbroken until the manifestation is complete.
