The Collected Works of Joseph Benner (eBook)

Joseph Benner (1872–1938) was an American mystic and spiritual writer who gained posthumous fame through his influential works, central among them being 'The Impersonal Life', which is now included in 'The Collected Works of Joseph Benner'. Benner's literature primarily delves into the inner spirituality and the personal relationship between the soul and the divine. Writing often under the anonymous byline of 'Anonymous', Benner focused on the concept of the Christ within and the realization of the Christ-consciousness, becoming a significant figure in New Thought and early 20th-century mysticism. His contribution to metaphysical thought and the path of spiritual self-awareness was, and remains, deeply recognized for its simplicity and depth. Benner spoke to the readers' inner selves, encouraging an introspective journey towards personal enlightenment and self-discovery through the silence and meditation. His works, including 'The Way Out', 'The Way Beyond', and 'Wealth', extend an invitation to relinquish the ego-based consciousness and embrace the omnipresent divinity. Not devoid of practicality, his guidance often materializes as a pathway towards a harmonious and prosperous life aligned with universal laws and spiritual principles. Throughout his literary contributions, Benner's style is characterized by clarity, directness, and an unwavering conviction in the transformative power of realizing one's divine nature.
