OPEN YOUR MIND TO RECEIVE: Revised Edition

by Catherine Ponder

Most of us might assume that to receive should be a normal process, especially in these economic times when almost everyone needs to receive on some level of life. Yet a psychiatrist to the rich recently explained, "A surprising number of my talented, successful clients still feel unworthy. They feel guilty about having large sums of money. My job is to help them accept their good fortune and to enjoy it." People seem to be restraining themselves from experiencing a prosperous life and OPEN YOUR MIND TO RECEIVE will help to release them. Although they may not realize it, their own consciousness may be blocking the flow of prosperity into their lives. A prosperity consciousness transformation can happen to anyone who faithfully uses the universal laws of abundance in this book on a sincere and consistent basis. The results will be in accord with one's own soul growth. The success philosophy Ponder writes about obviously does not contain a risky "get-rich-quick" formula. Instead, it describes a soul-satisfying process of growth that contains unlimited and eternal benefits into which one evolves. OPEN YOUR MIND TO RECEIVE serves a deeper purpose, especially in these economic times when so many people are being forced to move from outer, material methods of acquiring prosperity to inner, mental and spiritual sources. Prosperity should no longer be regarded so much as a matter of politics and economics, but more as a matter of increased understanding and growth. True abundance on all levels of life comes as a result of developing a prosperous consciousness. And "consciousness" is the result of ideas held in mind. Year after year, Catherine Ponder's books continue to enlighten the world with prosperity secrets that work. Countless authors credit her inspiring words as the spark that set them on their own path to prosperity. OPEN YOUR MIND TO RECEIVE is now updated with new real-life stories, all revealing the laws of abundance that help the reader to pinpoint the source and open the floodgates of prosperity.

از متن کتاب:
"در ذهن الهی، فقدان و خسارت و از دست دادن وجود ندارد. اگر چنین بنظر میرسد که موهبتی را از دست دادید، به این علت است که آن موهبت تغییر شکل داده است. بخاطر داشته باشید که در هیچ مرحله از طبیعت، از دست دادن وجود ندارد. عناصر طبیعت فقط تغییر میکنند و از شکلی به شکلی دیگر در می ایند. هرگاه بنظر میرسد که موهبتی شما را ترک کرده، رهایش کنید و بگذارید برود.بدانید که دیگر بدردتان نمیخورد . هرچه که بوده، از نظر معنوی آن را پشت سر گذاشته اید. و آماده تجلی موهبت های جدیدی باشید که از راه میرسند."
جدا که این کتاب تاثیر زیادی روی طرز تفکرم گذاشت و حداقل بهم یاد داد که با زندگی و هراونچه که پیش میاد مقاومت نداشته باشم و پذیرش مسائل رو به شیوه ای باور نکردنی برام راحتتر کرد. البته کلی هم انگیزه و روش برای بدست چیزهایی که میخواهید بهتون میده. شدیدا خوندنشو توصیه میکنم.

"Open your mind to receive by noticing, giving attention to, and talking about what you want to bring into your life - nothing else."

My mother introduced me to Catherine Ponder - one of the most wonderful authors about God Law in Action. Catherine Ponder taught me how to focus on Love - and open my heart to the fact that God is the governing and prospering power over all things on a physical level. After I read this book - I had to read as many of her books as possible - they changed my life forever and helped me through a time when my father lost his job and we had to make it through with God's help each and every day - just to eat and pay the rent. This happened in Beaverton, Oregon after I graduated High School. I will never forget Catherine Ponder and her love of God.

“Open Your Mind To Receive” is a fabulous book- Catherine Ponder really created something wonderful here. What makes this book different from the other ‘prosperity’ books I’ve read is that Catherine explains that you aren’t getting because you’re not ‘giving’. The emphasis on giving is spread out through this entire book.

I first read this book 7 years ago when I was 23 years old; it really opened my eyes to the rules of prosperity. After reading this book and applying it’s principles I doubled my income that year! This time while reading this book I was able to get a new pickup truck.

Books like this- that have so much information in it, are best read slowly so you can apply what is written. Catherine Ponder does not put much fluff in her books- so pretty much everything is meant to be utilized in some way.

“Open Your Mind To Receive” could be one of the best books on prosperity out there today- dissolving lack in every area of life (money, relationships, health, work), it is only up to you what you do with this information.

متاسفانه نتونستم تا آخر بخونمش. قصد جسارت ندارم به نویسنده ولی خیلی قسمتاش به نظرم غیر واقعی میومد. (همیشه یک شخصی یک کاری میکرد، فرداش تمام مشکلاتش حل میشد و همه چیز گل و بلبل میشد. یا مثلا اون قسمت که گفت ارثیه یکی رو که به کلیسا بخشید، فرداش رفت یه خونه عالی در بهترین جای شهر گرفت از نظرم کار درستی نکرد :D)

من جمله های زیبایی در جاهای مختلف از این کتاب خونده بودم. و به همین خاطر تصمیم گرفته بودم بخونمش.

Open Your Mind to Receive is a keeper! It’s short and concise, presenting seven ideas in seven short chapters full of real-life stories, each followed by a list of the 10 major points from each chapter. So, it’s accessible. It feels refreshing to read it. Rather than emphasizing what people do wrong, Ponder focuses on how to let go of old habits and how to self-talk more productively. While I don’t agree with all her ideas (tithing to a church doesn’t work for non-churchy types), most of the chapters resonate with me. Though mostly oriented towards making more money, the principles can be applied to anything the reader wants to receive.

The topics are as follows: methods of preparing to receive, how to release what is not wanted, how to prophesy or speak your new truth, accepting nothing but the best, accepting the people in our lives, growth and expansion, and tithing.

A comprehensive table of contents lists major topics from each chapter, an easy way to find an inspiring chapter in the moment. This ease of use along with its small size motivates me to recommend this to any self-help buff. Bonus for non-fundamentalist-Christians: unlike some Ponder books, the biblical references aren’t overdone.

I enjoyed it

In this book, Cathrine stresses looking at your situation differently and watching your life change. See the good in every situation. Don't allow your mind to dwell on the negative. As always she speaks highly about tithing and how God calls us to do it. She speaks about the stages of your prayers and how we have to be patient. I recommend reading this. God bless all. In Jesus name amen.

It works!

I am familiar with Catherine Ponder’s work and the principles she writes about work! I highly recommend this book and encourage readers to see for themselves.

[Iona Stewart · Rating 3 out of 5]

This little book is the second Ponder book I've read. The author informs us of the basic principles of prosperity work - the necessity of tithing, the practice of releasing worries and negative thoughts in general, talking positively in daily life, declaring affirmations and having the attitude "nothing but the best", among other things.

The chapter I appreciated most was on the power of agreement, i.e. how it was advantageous to agree and cooperate with others if possible while remaining true to oneself.

A useful little book, but I now look forward to reading her other more comprehensive prosperity books,

[Christine · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good for keeping positive attitude

Old fashioned diction. Lots of affirmations for staying hopeful, being kind and overlooking things other people do that might bother you in favor of remembering all their good points.

من این کتاب رو 20 سال پیش خوندم. برای اون زمان که نه این همه کتابهای موفقیت و نه این همه فیلم و پادکست بود قطعا خیلی جالب و تاثیر گذار بود ولی الان اگه بخوام بخونم طبیعتا هیچکدوم از حرفای این کتاب رو قبول ندارم و به کسی هم توصیه به خوندنش نمیکنم.
