“Now if you are ready to hear the law, we will state it in words that everyone can understand. Note these words, and let them impress themselves on you, so that from this moment ever afterward they will live in your mind as a guiding influence. “WHATEVER YOU THINK AND HOLD IN CONSCIOUSNESS AS BEING SO, OUTMANIFESTS ITSELF IN YOUR BODY OR AFFAIRS.” Whether you accept this as yet or not, consider for a while the truth that every thought you think, especially those relating in any way to self, hovers around in your mental atmosphere, just as a child stays close to its parent. These thoughts being about yourself, receive the life that maintains them, from the feeling that you put into them.” — An excerpt from “The Way Out”
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.”
