Tithing to Thriving - The Magic of Giving for Increased Prosperity

I've been reading the chapter in Catherine Ponder's book The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity entitled The Ancient Law of Prosperity. In it she shares her experience of how time again its been demonstrated that the practice of sharing one tenth of your income is one of the most enriching for those who give, making it one of their best investments in successful living, for peace, health and financial rewards.

She says it renders a number of significant surprises for the giver:

1. the amount of money they will have to share for doing good
2. the wisdom and judgement they will have in using the remainder of their income
3. the ease with which they find they can meet thgeir financial obligations
4. how they deepen their prosperity consciousness and their spiritual life
5. how easilty they can go on to give even larger amounts
6.how they wonder why they hadn't started tithing sooner

The reason she states for this hapening is that when you tithe, you are opening your mind, body and affairs to the universe - its life, love, wisdom, pwoer and substance. You are opening the channels for receiving similar things back into your life.

Many very prominent millionaires attribute tithing to their amazing success and it has ever been so for thousands of years for those who knew amd practised this as a standard for increase in their own lives. Catherine says " Tithing is an act of faith, and faith moves on universal substance to enhance and bless the tither. So it is only natural that the faithful tither should prosper, and that problems should fall away from his life."

To whom should we give? Topher Morrison in his seminar The Mental Game of Life says that it should be to a cause that advances mankind in some way. To Ponder it should be to some enlightened or spiritually evolving individuals, causes or organmisations. "The first tenth should go to spiritual work ort workers whose philosophiy is uplifting and helpful to mankind, and one with which you agree." If however you have no spiritual inclination then a secondary form of giving is to a charitable, educational, cultural or humanitarian causes that will develop your prosperity consciousness of sharing.

Another aspect of the giving is that it should be kept a secret or without publicity, and without strings attached or possessive or resentful feelings. Giving systematically to a single cause and freely from the heart is more effective than scattering to many causes and in an inconsistent manner.

"Never be afraid of giving big tithes to one or two causes, if you wish to reap big results in your own life. Nor should you be afraid of giving 'too much' for the benefit of the recipient of your gifts." - Ponder

I would love to have comments from anyone reading this who has had experiences of the success of tithing in their lives that could be shared with others.
