About The Book: "The World as Power, Power as Mind" by Sir John Woodroffe, also known by his pseudonym Arthur Avalon, is a significant philosophical work that explores the concept of the universe as an expression of power, specifically focusing on the power of consciousness or mind. In this text, Woodroffe delves into the Tantric view that the material world is a manifestation of divine power, which is essentially consciousness. He presents the idea that the universe itself is not just an inert mechanical entity but is alive with consciousness, which manifests as both the material and the mental. Woodroffe's analysis integrates elements of Hindu metaphysics, particularly the concepts of Shakti (the divine force or power) and Maya (the cosmic illusion), with a focus on how these principles express through mind and matter.
