Joseph Sieber Benner (1872-1941) was an American mystic and spiritual writer who shared his insights on the path to inner realization through his anonymously published work, 'The Impersonal Life' (1914). Benner penned this foundational text to guide readers towards the discovery of the true self, transcending the ego to embrace the Divine within. His writing is characterized by a penetrating exploration of consciousness and the call for a direct personal relationship with the ineffable essence of being. 'The Impersonal Life' remains a landmark in New Thought literature, and its influence has been cited by prominent figures such as Elvis Presley, who regarded the book as one of his spiritual touchstones. Benner's prose is imbued with the ethos of self-surrender and the practice of listening to the inner voice of 'I AM,' which he postulates is the universal and impersonal aspect of God present in every individual. While his bibliography is not extensive, the impact of his principal work has made Joseph Benner a revered figure among students of esoteric Christianity and metaphysical spirituality. His literary style is often reflective, deeply introspective, and aimed at facilitating the reader's quest for inner truth and oneness with the Divine Presence.
