Understanding Karma
On this page, we will be aiming to share some very precious information about how to accumulate karmic merits in the highest possible way. Before we do this though, it is important to offer a brief introduction to the concept of karma so that the teachings we received from Higher Consciousness can be shared, understood and digested in a very deep and meaningful way.
To start with then, as we understand it, the law of karma simply says that future states of happiness or suffering will always arise from our past intentions and actions. For example, for each of us who have incarnated into a human form, we have very likely accumulated many karmic 'merits' (i.e. good karma accumulated over many past lives). These karmic merits have been created by many positive and/or benevolent intentions & actions, which have then translated into karmic merit being accumulated. And it is precisely these karmic merits that have helped us to karmically find our way towards preciously being born as a human in this life and which has offered us the opportunities we have in this life.
Equally so, for each of us who have taken birth into a human form, we have also accumulated some karmic demerits. This is negative karma that has been created by our past intentions & actions that were negative/malevolent. And again, these have most likely been accumulated over many past lives. Over time, these past intentions & actions (built up over many past lives) have created a wide variety of karmic debris, karmic debts or karmic obstacles and at some stage, in order for us to ascend, these will need to be purified on our soul's journey.
So again, any negative karma that we have will need to be purified and cleansed at some point on our pathway and this typically results in some kind of suffering being experienced. On the other hand, any positive karmic merit that we have accumulated will often result in karmic fruits which help to lead us towards deepened states of happiness, joy and peace. Within this one simple formula though, there are a great many complexities and intricacies that can arise as we start to explore the deeper meanings of karma. However from a bigger picture perspective, if we can understand and feel how this simple formula plays out in our life, over and over again, it can actually be very beneficial to our spiritual journey as it can often help us to make sense of, and endure, our pain and suffering in a more reasonable & logical way.
If we apply this simple formula to each of our lives, it is fair to say that we each have our own divinely unique karmic circumstances. In this way, our simple formula could read something like "karmic circumstances = karmic merits - karmic demerits". In this way, our karmic circumstances are a direct result of many kinds of past intentions and actions, which include both negative and positive karmas committed in this life as well as many past lives. Our own unique set of karmic circumstances will therefore include many positive karmic merits and many negative karmic demerits and again, this will always be an accumulation of our past intentions, past thoughts, past speech and past actions over many different lifetimes.
Ultimately, from a soul perspective, the main goal is to reach a place where there is no need to purify (or heal) away any more negative karma. With this in mind, any kind of spiritual pathway should always promote the idea of purifying negative karma (through a series of personal practices) whilst being sure to promote intentions, actions and activities that can help the soul to accumulate positive karmic merits. Over time, if we can be effective at completing both of these practices diligently (accumulating karmic merits whilst reducing karmic demerits), then our soul can gradually reduce its karmic debris, paving the way to a state of Mukti-Moksha (freedom and liberation).
In this context then, attaining Mukti-Moksha means to be liberated from the continuous cycle of rebirth and suffering. This means that our soul is offered the chance to reside in a place of eternal happiness, peace and bliss, something that many of us might like to think of as a heavenly realm. Here, there is only happiness for all eternity as all suffering has been eliminated.
If our soul is able to achieve this Mukti-Moksha state, it means that we will never again be reborn into any kind of physical existence and therefore, we can remain in this paradise or heavenly realm for all eternity, being infinitely happy and blissful. Alternatively, if our soul is not able to achieve this Mukti-Moksha state, it means that the soul is still needing to experience some kind of rebirth, which essentially means that there is more purification, healing, learning and suffering to be experienced by that soul in its next incarnation.
And of course, all of these concepts have foundations and principles that are based around karma. Therefore, for those who are seeking future states of happiness, peace and joy in their life, it can be very beneficial to firstly understand the basic mechanics of how karma works. With this as our foundation, we can then take the necessary steps to improve on our positive karmic intentions and actions and then try to decrease those intentions and actions that result in negative karma.
To start with then, as we understand it, the law of karma simply says that future states of happiness or suffering will always arise from our past intentions and actions. For example, for each of us who have incarnated into a human form, we have very likely accumulated many karmic 'merits' (i.e. good karma accumulated over many past lives). These karmic merits have been created by many positive and/or benevolent intentions & actions, which have then translated into karmic merit being accumulated. And it is precisely these karmic merits that have helped us to karmically find our way towards preciously being born as a human in this life and which has offered us the opportunities we have in this life.

And of course, all of these concepts have foundations and principles that are based around karma. Therefore, for those who are seeking future states of happiness, peace and joy in their life, it can be very beneficial to firstly understand the basic mechanics of how karma works. With this as our foundation, we can then take the necessary steps to improve on our positive karmic intentions and actions and then try to decrease those intentions and actions that result in negative karma.
Positive & Negative Karma
Now that we have a basic understanding about how karma works, we have understood that there are two main elements that we will need to focus on for our soul's journey forwards. The first is to try our best to accumulate karmic merits and quite often, the best way to approach this is to find 'karmic merit work' that makes our heart sing. This is a truly beautiful recipe to spiritual success, inner peace and happiness as it can help our soul to create future states of happiness (through our karmic intentions and actions) whilst at the same time ensuring that we are feeling happy and satisfied with the karmic merit work that we are undertaking in our life.
So this is the first part of the 'karmic equation' and for those who are interested to accumulate karmic merits in the highest and fastest way possible, then this webpage has been divinely created just for you. So before we talk about accumulating karmic merits in more detail, we just want to take a few more moments to speak about the other side of the karma equation, which is to start thinking about how to reduce our negative intentions, negative speech, negative activities and negative actions, as best we can. For when we reduce our karmic demerits, it means that we will not be creating any more karmic obstacles for ourselves, which basically makes our journey MUCH easier.
So to start with, whenever we are thinking about how to reduce our negative thoughts, negative intentions, negative speech, negative actions, negative reactions and other kinds of negative behaviours, it is important to understand that as we progress forwards on our own divinely unique Ascension Pathway journey, (this makes it seem that this page is only for those on the Ascension Pathway - what if someone is not taking the Ascension Pathway?) these things tend to fall into place as our energetic vibration is raised and as we are awakened to our truly infinite and divine potential. For example, as Marty & Gerry moved forwards on their own Ascension Pathway journey, they were often able to feel the changing of their inner energetic vibration, slowly, over time, as they moved through more and more 'levels'.
As their energetic vibration evolved, they would often find that things would just fall out of their life, whether it was the consumption of certain foods, the way they spoke to others or whether it related to how they responded or reacted to certain situations. For example, if someone did something that would have previously caused anger or upset, Marty & Gerry found that slowly, over the years, these same things were not causing the same kinds of reactions from them. Marty & Gerry had not consciously tried to prevent these feelings or emotions from arising in any way but rather, they just found that these reactions would naturally soften, as their energetic vibration evolved. So this is the first very important point that we would like to emphasise here because this is a truly amazing by-product that comes from doing inner transformation work.
Also, as a complement to their journey forwards, Marty & Gerry found that it was very helpful to have some kind of yardstick or behavioural goals on their journey forwards; things which could help to give them guidance about what would help them to produce uplifting karmic results instead of behaviours that might be detrimental to their journey forwards. On any kind of truth based spiritual journey, it is often the behavioural guidelines that can help us to remain focused and/or mindful of our thoughts, speech and actions and to ensure that we are always trying our best to behave in alignment with our spiritual values (values like loving kindness, compassion, empathy, mutual respect, positivity, non-discrimination, non-violence etc).
In most religions, you can see that a behavioural guidelines type approach is encouraged and promoted. Again, this can help each practitioner to behave in a way that helps them to move forwards into future states of happiness. Some examples of behavioural guidelines are The 10 Commandments (from Christianity) or The Panch Shila (Buddhism). For those who have learnt Reiki, you would have been taught The 5 Principles of Reiki, which are a very simple form of behavioural guidelines. In the teachings of the Maitri Dharma, there are also a series of behavioural guidelines that are recommended to all Maitri Dharma practitioners. The most basic and fundamental of which are The 11 Maitri Precepts.
In all of these aforementioned behavioural guidelines, the idea is the same. Each practitioner is being encouraged to walk forwards on their journey in a way that helps them to behave in alignment with their spiritual values so that they can act in a way that promotes future states of happiness (and which prevents future states of suffering). Overall, this can help the practitioner to progress into higher & higher levels of being, without needlessly pulling themselves down through any negative intentions or actions. In most cases, as we go about our daily life, we will often naturally have a sense of what feels right versus what feels wrong and over time, this can help us to focus on those things that feel right to us, whilst not encouraging those things that feel wrong. And when this is all combined with a continuing focus to accumulate karmic merits (in addition to reducing our karmic demerits) then this can be a very powerful and uplifting way to approach our spiritual pathway.
One other important point that we would like to make here is that as we continue to progress on our journey, we are bound to make mistakes time and time again. This happens to us all and is a very natural part of the journey forwards. Once we become aware that we are making mistakes, this is always the first preparatory step for behavioural transformation. And of course, in this time of great evolution, we will often receive some beautifully divine assistance from Higher Consciousness that can help us to transform our behaviours more easily and sometimes even effortlessly. At other times, behavioural changes can take time. Some traits may even require many years before we can develop ourselves away from these negative behaviours. Therefore, above all, we lovingly suggest that you always try to adopt a feeling of patience, gentleness and kindness with yourself as these changes continue to evolve for you.
In summary, it is truly wonderful if we can hold an understanding about karma for our journey forwards. Here, we understand that accumulating karmic merits is very important but equally so too is the idea of reducing our negative intentions and behaviours. May we all live and act from a deeply loving and positive space, as we go about our day, as best we can, continuing to do uplifting karmic actions. Let us now move into the next section where we start specifically focusing on the concept of accumulating karmic merits.

Let us now move into the next section where we start specifically focusing on the concept of accumulating karmic merits.
Accumulating Karmic Merits & The Ascension Pathway Journey
As the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway has evolved, Higher Consciousness have often reminded Marty & Gerry of the importance of accumulating karmic merits for this journey forwards. For example, in situations where they were facing extreme difficulties or intensive sufferings on their Ascension Pathway journey, Higher Consciousness would often divinely guide Marty & Gerry towards projects that were very effective at accumulating karmic merits. Accompanying this, Higher Consciousness would sometimes offer a channeled message explaining about the importance of accumulating karmic merits during these difficult times.
Generally speaking, the first understanding that Marty & Gerry received from these intuitive communications was that when we accumulate karmic merits, it can help to alleviate and/or reduce the suffering that may be arising from the Ascension Pathway journey (or our life's journey in general). In other words, as our karmic debris are being purified, it can often be very helpful for us to accumulate karmic merits which can then help to accelerate and ease this process of purification.
The second understanding received was that accumulating karmic merits not only helps to reduce or eliminate suffering, but it can also help the practitioner to continue being successful on their Ascension Pathway journey. For example, if someone is already walking on the Ascension Pathway journey and they are doing a good job of accumulating karmic merits as they continue to progress, they are more likely to continue progressing into the next ebooks without any obstacles or unnecessary interruptions. However, if someone is not able or willing to accumulate the right amount of karmic merits, it is likely that they will encounter some karmic obstacles or obstructions as they progress and in some cases, these obstacles may be large enough to result in a person not being 'karmically invited' or able to move into higher and higher levels.
The third understanding received was that if someone is accumulating good amounts of karmic merits on their Ascension Pathway journey, they are more likely to be karmically invited into the Ascension Pathway acceleration opportunities. For example, Higher Consciousness have explained that to be karmically invited to stay at a Maitri Centre (where many of the acceleration opportunities take place), each person needs to have accumulated a very significant amount of karmic merits. If the person has not accumulated enough karmic merits, then these types of acceleration opportunities will simply not manifest for them as they continue to walk on their Ascension Pathway journey.
Overall, from a bigger picture perspective, it is fair to say that everything that we face in our life arises from our karma. Therefore, if we can understand the importance of this topic and can become effective at accumulating karmic merits (whilst at the same time doing our best to reduce the amount of karmic demerits we are accumulating) then it means that we are giving ourselves the best chance of success on our journey forwards into this beautiful new consciousness vibration.
Of course, just simply progressing on the Ascension Pathway journey will be helping you to accumulate a wonderful amount of karmic merits and equally so, continuing to progress into higher and higher levels is a truly wonderful way for you to continue accumulating karmic merits. Additionally, there are of course many hours in each and every day that can provide the perfect opportunity to cultivate intentions and partake in activities that can help you to accumulate karmic merits and reduce karmic demerits. We do however understand that there are other obligations in life like work & household chores etc. but even so, there are a great many ways that we can 'do our best' to promote loving, kind, happy and positive states of mind whilst being sure to perform actions that are beneficial to our own (and all beings') journey forwards.
In summary then, it may be helpful to think about karmic merits as being like 'ascension fuel' that helps us to progress towards our soul's ultimate goal - liberation from the continuous cycle of rebirth and suffering and to reside in an eternal state of happiness, joy and bliss. And of course, if we can cultivate mindsets that wish, pray or hope that all beings reach these eternal states of happiness and peace, this will also help us to accumulate a wonderful array of karmic merits, which in turn fuel our own journey forwards. Wonderful!

Wonderful!
Receiving Ascension Healing
Having now understood how accumulating karmic merits can help us on the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway journey, let us take a few moments to talk about this same concept from an Ascension Healing perspective, because this is also very important. (By Ascension Healing we mean the monthly Ascension Healing that is sent out on the 11th, 21st and 1st of the month). As a starting point then, it is important to understand that the Love Inspiration Ascension Healing energies are lovingly offered to all those who wish to receive them, in order to help them (and all beings) ascend into this beautiful new consciousness more quickly, easily and smoothly.
The Ascension Healing energies do this by offering each healing recipient energies from 'exceptionally high Light Beings' for the purpose of helping them ascend in a more smooth, loving and effortless way. Once these healing energies are sent out on the specific day of the month, they can then be downloaded and drawn down on by each recipient, in direct proportion to the amount of karmic merits that they have 'in the bank' during that month. As each person progresses on their Ascension Pathway journey, so too do the energies that they are lovingly able to receive. For example, as they move forwards into more advanced levels of the Ascension Pathway, they are offered Double Intensity Ascension Healing (sent on the 21st of each month) and then Triple Intensity Ascension Healing (sent on the 1st of each month).
Therefore, the main idea here with the Love Inspiration Ascension Healing system is that our own healing and purification can be accelerated and enhanced by us accumulating karmic merits. And quite literally, when we accumulate enough karmic merit, month by month, it is like opening the doorway to more & more energies that can be downloaded into our consciousness, for better & faster healing results. For Marty & Gerry, we feel that these new teachings from Higher Consciousness help to offer people the understanding that an accumulation of karmic merits will always be extremely beneficial to their journey forwards however we also understand that this may raise another very important question which is: "How can I accumulate karmic merits in the highest possible way?"
In the next section, now that we have explored the basic foundations of karma, it is now possible to share the beautiful understandings that were received from Higher Consciousness to help answer this question. When Love Inspiration received this information, we were a little taken back by the significance of it and because of this, as you continue into the next section we ask that you please approach this with an open mind and with the idea that this is simply a 'truth' that is being offered to you here with much love and with an intention to help make your soul's journey easier, smoother and more loving. We hope you enjoy this very beautiful and profound Dharma teaching.

How To Accumulate Karmic Merits
In The Highest Possible Way
So far on this page, a basic introduction to the general concept of karma has been offered and as part of this, some additional information has been shared about why it is important to focus on both sides of the karmic equation. We have spoken about the importance of accumulating karmic merits, and reducing karmic demerits, both from an Ascension Pathway perspective and from an Ascension Healing perspective. And now, it is important to clarify that the teachings of karma apply to everyone equally, regardless of whether they are receiving the Love Inspiration energies or not. In this way, accumulating karmic merits and reducing karmic demerits is not something that is just specific to the Love Inspiration healing systems and ascension based healing energies. Instead, the teachings of karma are a 'truth' based teaching, that can be implemented by anyone who is seeking to move towards more happiness, love, peace, wisdom, truth, purity and unity in their life.
And now, let us share the understandings that were received from Higher Consciousness about how to accumulate karmic merits in the highest possible way. Firstly however, let us emphasise here that this is probably one of the most important teachings that we have received from Higher Consciousness because it enables us to profoundly benefit our journey forwards.
The understanding received from Higher Consciousness about how to accumulate karmic merits in the highest possible way centres around the concept of connecting with and/or helping to share the energies of Maitri. From a Love Inspiration perspective, the Maitri energies become available to those who move into the final stages of Step 7 on their Ascension Pathway journey. At this stage of learning, the recipient starts opening up to a very beautiful and profound set of energies (known as The Grand New Maitri Consciousness) as they start moving through the final ebooks of Step 7 and as they prepare to move more deeply into these beautiful energies, through Step 8.
In simple terms, when thinking about 'Maitri' energies, these can be thought of as being the epicentre of the new consciousness vibration that is starting to be received here on Earth at this time. When we think about what 'Maitri' is, perhaps the best way to describe it is to say that it is an infinite, vast and limitless feeling of love, kindness and unity. But it is also so much more! Sometimes, words are simply not enough to explain the depth and profundity of certain things and when trying to describe the Maitri energies in words, this would most certainly be one of those times. However, if we were to try and describe the inner depths of this 'Maitri' feeling, we could say that Maitri is an infinite feeling of oneness that encompasses every living being and every thing that is positive & good, unified, and truth & love based. The Maitri feeling is an infinite sphere of love, kindness, peace, wisdom, unity, faith, trust, reverence, surrender, gratitude and everything else that uplifts and unifies us with our inherently divine nature. In the past, Higher Consciousness have also described Maitri as being 'Creator' or 'Source' energies so perhaps this is a nice way to gain some perspective about the purity and pristine nature of these divine energies.
And again, for those walking on the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway, the Maitri energies will become available to you during the final parts of Step 7 however there is also another way that you can start accessing these incredibly special and profound Maitri energies, prior to reaching these very advanced and elevated levels of the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway. For example, anyone can start to connect with the Maitri Dharma teachings & practices as they are continuing to progress on their Ascension Pathway journey. Here, a practitioner is being given the chance to connect with a wide variety of Maitri energies, in a way that can also help them to accumulate 'unfathomable' amounts of karmic merits, which in turn helps to make their Ascension Pathway journey easier, faster and smoother.
So here in this teaching, Higher Consciousness have divinely brought through a very special 'guide' for the Love Inspiration Community so that everyone can get a deepened perspective about just how profound these new Maitri energies are for the world. In the below teaching, we are given a clear indication about the karmic significance of any action or activity that is associated with the Maitri Dharma and it was because of this new teaching that we (Marty & Gerry) were so taken back about the profundity of these beautiful new Maitri energies.
For Marty & Gerry, this teaching has also been a nice confirmation for their own journey, simply because they have now spent many years working and volunteering inside a Maitri Centre environment and they themselves have felt the divine uplift and profound benefits that came from this benevolent volunteer work. Even activities like cooking, construction, cleaning or helping others settle into the Maitri Centre seemed to bring about a very significant and profound amount of karmic merits for their journey forwards. And in fact, this is the main reason why Marty & Gerry have been able to accelerate so significantly on their own divinely unique journey forwards. In simple terms, by regularly volunteering in a Maitri Centre whilst at the same time, doing a regular Maitri Dharma practice, this has provided them with the necessary karmic fuel to propel them through 40-50 years of Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway energies in only 8 or 9 years.
So now, with much love, we wish to share this beautiful and profound teaching with you also. This is being lovingly offered to the Love Inspiration Community by Higher Consciousness in the hope that it can help to encourage everyone to accumulate karmic merits in the highest possible way. May we all accelerate through a great many Ascension Pathway energies and may every single being attain Mukti-Moksha!
And now, let us share the understandings that were received from Higher Consciousness about how to accumulate karmic merits in the highest possible way. Firstly however, let us emphasise here that this is probably one of the most important teachings that we have received from Higher Consciousness because it enables us to profoundly benefit our journey forwards.
The understanding received from Higher Consciousness about how to accumulate karmic merits in the highest possible way centres around the concept of connecting with and/or helping to share the energies of Maitri. From a Love Inspiration perspective, the Maitri energies become available to those who move into the final stages of Step 7 on their Ascension Pathway journey. At this stage of learning, the recipient starts opening up to a very beautiful and profound set of energies (known as The Grand New Maitri Consciousness) as they start moving through the final ebooks of Step 7 and as they prepare to move more deeply into these beautiful energies, through Step 8.
In simple terms, when thinking about 'Maitri' energies, these can be thought of as being the epicentre of the new consciousness vibration that is starting to be received here on Earth at this time. When we think about what 'Maitri' is, perhaps the best way to describe it is to say that it is an infinite, vast and limitless feeling of love, kindness and unity. But it is also so much more! Sometimes, words are simply not enough to explain the depth and profundity of certain things and when trying to describe the Maitri energies in words, this would most certainly be one of those times. However, if we were to try and describe the inner depths of this 'Maitri' feeling, we could say that Maitri is an infinite feeling of oneness that encompasses every living being and every thing that is positive & good, unified, and truth & love based. The Maitri feeling is an infinite sphere of love, kindness, peace, wisdom, unity, faith, trust, reverence, surrender, gratitude and everything else that uplifts and unifies us with our inherently divine nature.

Accumulating Karmic Merits
Good Deeds (Self Orientated) = 0/10
|
Good deeds that are done solely with the agenda to benefit the self (even if the agenda is sub-conscious or hidden) means that we accumulate very little merit or no merit at all.
|
Good Deeds (Benefiting Others) = 2/10
|
Good deeds that are done with an intention to benefit another living being or a group of living beings help us to accumulate a small amount of karmic merits.
|
Good Deeds (Benefiting All) = 4/10
|
Good deeds that are done with an intention to benefit all beings (but are not specifically associated with the Maitri Dharma) help us to accumulate a moderate amount of karmic merits.
*As we understand it, Love Inspiration is 'associated' with the Maitri Dharma* The main reason I didn't want to include this information is because we still DO NOT KNOW where the Love Inspiration courses fit on this scale. According to what you have written under D) Maitri Dharma Meritorious actions, doing the Love Inspiration courses does not fit there, so it must fit here under C) Good Deeds (Benefitting others). The more I review this information, the more I think the Love Inspiration courses fit here under C, but are a bridge to D & E. Except Step 8 of the pathway which incudes Maitri Dharma practices..... Also, why are the first three called "good deeds" and then the Maitri Dharma is called "meritorious actions"? As discussed, it is a good idea to include some info here about where the LI practices fit becasue that is the first question everyone will ask.... |
Maitri Dharma Meritorious Actions = 9.5/10
|
Any merit that is associated with the Maitri Dharma and done with an intention to benefit all beings helps us to accumulate very profound karmic merits e.g. helping in a Maitri Centre, helping with Maitri projects, donating, helping the Maitri Dharma in any way.
|
Maitri Dharma Practices = 10/10
|
This includes all the practices that Maha Sambodhi Dharma Sangha Guru has given such as following the Maitri Precepts, doing Pujas [making offerings to the Paramatma Gurus (i.e. offering water, flowers, fruit, light & incense)], doing prostrations, mantras, chanting prayers and doing Maitri Dharma meditations. Reading Guru's speeches and the Maitri Book (to be released soon). This helps us to accumulate an unfathomable amount of karmic merits.

Overall, the main understanding to take away from this information is that you can accumulate karmic merits in a variety of ways and that it is up to you how or if you choose to do this. At the end of the day, the more merit you accumulate, the faster and easier your ascension will be!
* For some people, they may resonate with the Maitri Dharma energies and may wish to accumulate merit in the fastest & highest possible way by doing the Maitri Dharma practices, but for others, this may simply not resonate and this absolutely ok. As aways trust your intuition!
* Although doing the Maitri practices does not directly relate to reducing time in the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway ebooks, Higher Consciousness have explained that the merit earned through these practices means that circumstances will manifest faster & easier for smoother & easier healing and movement into the next ebook, and more opportunities to fast-track Ascension Pathway ebooks. (You need to earn a lot of karmic merits just to have the opportunity to visit a Maitri Centre or to fast-track an ebook).
* It is important to realise that even having access to the Love Inspiration energies and the information on this page means that you have accumulated a lot of karmic merits already. Congratulations!

Additional Clarifications
Having now read through the information in the previous section about about how to accumulate karmic merits in the highest possible way, it is important to point out here that this is not meant to be an 'exact' teaching about which 'exact' actions will be helping you to generate an 'exact' amount of karmic merits. As already mentioned, there are a great many complexities and intricacies to consider when understanding the inner workings of karma and with this in mind, it is important to reiterate once again that this teaching is not designed to be an exact measure of which 'exact' actions you should be focusing on for your continuing journey forwards. Instead, this simple but profound teaching offers a foundational understanding about the karmic significance of the Maitri Dharma and the Maitri energies, teachings and practices, in a comparison type format which shows the differences between Maitri Dharma orientated intentions and actions versus those that are not associated with the Maitri Dharma teachings and/or Maitri energies.
Overall, the main understanding to take away from this information is that you can accumulate karmic merits in a variety of ways and that it is up to you how or if you choose to do this. At the end of the day, the more merit you accumulate, the faster and easier your ascension will be!

The Maitri Dharma Practices (if you wanted to shorten this section, you could delete paragraphs 3, 4, 5 & 6 as all of this info is on the maitri practices webpage).
If connecting with the Maitri Dharma energies is something that does resonate with you, you can very easily incorporate these practices into your daily routine, should you wish to, in order to help accumulate 'unfathomable' amounts of karmic merits. However again, doing the Maitri Dharma practices will not directly translate into specifically reducing the timeframes of the Ascension Pathway ebooks. Instead, the karmic merits that you accumulate by connecting to the Maitri energies will help you to create the right karmic circumstances for future acceleration opportunities. These merits will also help to soften or reduce your suffering and can also help to remove potential karmic obstacles that may have otherwise hindered you from continuing to move forwards on your Ascension Pathway journey (and in other areas of your life).
The Maitri Dharma practices can be completed by anyone, regardless of their religious background, qualifications or previous experience and by connecting with these energies, you are quite literally connecting with the highest and most pristine parts of the collective consciousness.
For those who may wish to more deeply understand how to connect with the Maitri Dharma energies, we lovingly invite you to check out our Maitri Dharma Practices webpage. On this page, we introduce all of the Maitri Dharma practices and if you wish to start connecting with them, there is information on the webpage about how you can go about this.
For example, one of the Maitri Dharma practices is to recite (or sing along) with the Maitri Dharma mantras. On the Love Inspiration website, you can also download the mantra songs and if you wish to, you can simply play these in the background as you go about your day (or use them in any way you feel guided to). In this way, by connecting with these beautiful mantras, you will be connecting to these truly profound Maitri energies and this is an absolutely wonderful way to start connecting with a deepened feeling of Maitri in your life.
There are also other Maitri Dharma practices for meditating, praying and making offerings and in this way, there is actually quite a lot of variety which may appeal differently to different people. For example, for those who would like to start incorporating some offerings into their day, this can be done in around 10 minutes. This is a process of offering a number of worldly delights to the Paramatma Gurus (like water, flowers, fruit, candles or incense) and this simple practice can help us to accumulate a beautiful array of karmic merits, whilst the Maitri Altar will continually be inviting these beautiful energies into your home. Wonderful!
Alternatively, there may be others who might like to start connecting with Maha Sambodhi Dharma Sangha Guru directly. All of the Maitri Dharma energies reside within Maha Sambodhi Dharma Sangha Guru so for those who feel drawn to this, (TO DATE ON THIS WEBPAGE THERE HAS BEEN NO EXPLANATION OF HOW MSDS FITS WITH THE MAITRI ENERGIES YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT - SO THIS MAY NEED A LITTLE CLARIFICATION) they can connect to this truly infinite source of energy, light & blessings in their life through the Maitri Dharma Meditation practices. Again, there is more information about this on the Maitri Dharma pages and we lovingly invite you to have a read through these as a next step forwards, should you wish to.
And for those who are interested in trying to follow along with some behavioural guidelines on their journey forwards, we would lovingly recommend that you start with The 11 Maitri Precepts. Just by reading these regularly, you will be connecting with the Maitri Dharma and the Maitri energies, as you start to open up to the idea of trying to be positive, loving and unifying in all areas of your life.
Above all, as we continue to evolve on our pathway, it is very important that we listen to our heart. We are all very different, we all have different karmic circumstances and therefore, we will all have different ideas, understandings and preferences for our own divinely unique journey forwards into this new consciousness vibration. For example, we understand that some people will not feel at all drawn to the Maitri Dharma energies & teachings at this time and this is totally fine. We understand that there are an array of karmic obstacles and energetic debris that we each need to face on our journey forwards and this may mean that some people will very naturally not gravitate towards these energies, whilst others may. Such is the nature of karma.
We truly hope that you have enjoyed reading and digesting these new understandings and may they help you to progress into very high and harmonious states of being. May your soul reach the ultimate place of eternal happiness, joy and bliss and may you radiate all of these truly delightful energies outwards for all to benefit from.
