The Way Beyond

This eBook edition of «The Way Beyond» has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. "First try to realize that the life animating and growing you is not your life, that you have no control over it, that it does things to you, causes you to do things, puts you through all the experiences you are undergoing without your consent, and that seemingly it knows just what it is doing and must have a very wise and loving purpose in doing it. Likewise the consciousness that you call yours seemingly receives all its ideas, thoughts and impressions wholly independently of your will or desire, They come into your mind when they will, influence your feelings and actions continually, and you have little power to prevent it." Joseph Benner (1872–1938) was an American author, Spiritual writer, and Representative of the Brotherhood of Christ who used the pen name «Anonymous.» He was the first to introduce the Knowledge and Teachings of the Impersonal Life (also known as the «I AM» Teaching) to the world in his first book, «The Impersonal Life». Benner taught that Christ's proclaiming «I AM» indicated «the true spirit that resides in every human being.»
