THE TEACHER (Spirituality & Practice) (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. New Thought Devotional Guidance for Inner Awakening, Divine Self-Realization, and Christian MysticismBy Joseph Benner
Length1h 34m
About this audiobook
THE TEACHER (Spirituality & Practice) presents spiritual instruction as an inward awakening rather than an external doctrine. Cast in the solemn, intimate mode characteristic of devotional metaphysics, the book speaks to the reader's deeper self, urging discipline, receptivity, and surrender to the divine presence within. Its style is aphoristic, meditative, and gently imperative, placing it within the early twentieth-century current of New Thought, Christian mysticism, and practical spirituality that sought to reconcile inner experience with daily conduct. Joseph Benner, best known for The Impersonal Life, wrote from a conviction that the highest religious truth is not merely believed but realized in consciousness. A businessman and spiritual writer, he often published in an anonymous or impersonal voice, reflecting his central teaching that the ego must yield to a larger, divine identity. THE TEACHER grows naturally from this concern with inner guidance, self-transcendence, and the disciplined practice of listening. This book is recommended to readers interested in contemplative spirituality, New Thought literature, and the psychology of religious transformation. Those seeking a systematic theology may find it elusive, but readers open to reflective, practice-oriented prose will discover a compact guide to inward instruction and spiritual poise.
