To you who listen, I speak. To you, who, through long years and much running to and fro, have been eagerly seeking, in books and teachings, in philosophy and religion, for you know not what - Truth, Happiness, Freedom, God.

The Way of The Impersonal Life are the teachings Joseph Benner wrote for those seekers wishing to practice the path of the impersonal life as presented in The Impersonal Life. This includes three books: The Way Out, The Way Beyond, and The Way to the Kingdom. In his book, The Impersonal Life, Joseph Benner inspires and fans the flame of desire to live a life of truth, love, and selflessness.

If you have reached that stage on your journey through life where the world without can offer you nothing that will stay your efforts to find that Kingdom, and you welcome any directions that will clearly point you there, then you are ready for these words, and they will be to you a quickening power that will hasten you on your way and perhaps will enable you speedily to reach the goal.

Since it first appeared in 1914, The Impersonal Life has touched hundreds of thousands of readers. Its simple meditative message teaches you, step by step, to realize that your own consciousness is one with all of creation - that you are an outlet of divine will. Once that extraorinary truth is understood, your wishes become one with God, and your life unfolds in a meaningful, exuberant mosiac in which your fondest hopes and highest purposes are realized.

You, to whom I have given an abundance of that which the world calls riches, hearken unto this my special message to you.

I AM obliged to use your words and modes of expression, but I must say at the beginning that they are wholly inadequate to convey spiritual truths. I long to help people who seem to be in the same mistaken conditions in which I once was, for man does not know himself. We will consider together something of the truth of being, the most essential and the first of all things. You are not the outward and visible form; this is the feeblest and the most distant likeness of your real self. I will explain by illustration.

To you, who, through long years and much running to and fro, have been eagerly seeking, in books and teachings, in philosophy and religion, for you know not what - Truth, Happiness, Freedom, God; to you whose Soul is weary and discouraged and almost destitute of hope; to you, who many times have obtained a glimpse of that "Truth" only to find, when you followed and tried to reach it, that it disappeared in the beyond, and was but the mirage of the desert....

You who have reached that stage in your climb to the heights where you are no longer seeking anything of self, having tasted of all that the outer world and its human teachers can offer, and something within is strongly insisting that you begin to prove and demonstrate what you have learned by living it and using it to help others who are still seeking.

Man does not know himself. We will consider together something of the truth of being, the most essential and the first of all things. You are not the outward and visible form; this is the feeblest and the most distant likeness of your real self which is the Christ in you. This is what is meant in the saying "Know Thy Self".

Sappiamo che per molti le finanze sono spesso un problema. Tutti i seguaci di Gesù Cristo dovrebbero imparare la legge che, se rispettata, permetterà loro di uscire da tutte le condizioni di mancanza, limitazione, disarmonia, malattia e infelicità che possono manifestarsi. Voi chiedete se questo è davvero possibile e se esiste una legge che, se obbedita, ci permetterà di realizzare tutto questo.

Our audiobook, "The Way Out", pointed the way to freedom from lack, limitation, disharmony, disease, and unhappiness, and there is no excuse for any who faithfully follow the suggestions given to be any longer in such conditions.

Who am I? I, who speak with so much authority and make such all-inclusive claims? Who am I that I can instruct you and can promise rewards only God can give? Listen!
