Will it really take me 50+ years to complete the Ascension Pathway?
When people visit the Love Inspiration website and start reading through some of the Ascension Pathway material, they may begin to realise that the Ascension pathway energies can indeed take many years to complete when moving through the 'normal' timeframes. Therefore, it is quite common for people to ask - Will it really take me 50+ years to complete the Ascension Pathway?
Given that the length of the Ascension Pathway is such a common & important question, we want to answer this very thoroughly, and to help do this, we have divided up this FAQ into the below sections, so that we can share all of the relevant information about this topic.
1) Understanding the main aims of the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway
2) Introducing the basic concept of Ascension Pathway 'acceleration opportunities'
3) How will Love Inspiration offer these acceleration opportunities to everyone?
4) Understanding the role of karmic merits in the acceleration process
5) How many years can the acceleration opportunities shave off the Ascension Pathway?
6) Understanding that things are still evolving, in line with our collective karma
7) Final summary, conclusion and the next steps
Before we get into the more detailed answer (in the below sections), the short answer to this question is that yes, completing Steps 1-7 of the Ascension Pathway under 'normal timeframes' can indeed take around 50 years. However there are also many divinely uplifting acceleration opportunities that can cut this down to just a few years or anywhere in between, depending on how you wish to move forwards on your journey. In this way, it's entirely up to you how fast you go and how much you accelerate on your own divinely unique Ascension Pathway journey.
Furthermore, we would also add to this that every step on the Ascension Pathway can help to bring much benefit (both to yourself and to all beings). These benefits are immeasurable and will often be noticed & enjoyed as you continue to progress. And delightfully, the Ascension Pathway energies also offer countless benefits to the all important soul level and they can help with your soul's evolutionary journey i.e. after death. And all of these benefits will start to be received as soon as you start receiving these energies, whether you complete 1 ebook, 10 ebooks or 50 ebooks. With this in mind, we would loving suggest just 'going with the flow' at each step of the way and allow yourself to evolve in the highest possible way. As the old saying goes, this is more about the journey itself than it is about the final destination.
Also, one of the main attributes of the Ascension Pathway is that it can help you unpack many layers of old or stagnant energies from within. This is very important because once we unpack those energies, we can more deeply & easily step into the New Consciousness energies of love, truth, understanding, peace, happiness & joy. In this way, there may be times when the Ascension Pathway energies may offer you some challenges. But with a feeling of joyous perseverance & trust (knowing that you are being divinely guided), you can continue to enjoy the various healing & transformation opportunities, along with the countless ascensions & energetic upgrades that these beautiful teachings are offering you.
In summary then, the Ascension Pathway is a step-by-step journey that can help to guide you into very profound awakenings, ascension & divine uplift. It does this over a period of many years and in this way, it can help you to experience very powerful & profound transformation at a physical, mental, emotional & spiritual level. With much love, we hope that you enjoy the journey and may you continue to radiate all your love, light, joy & peace for all beings to benefit from, throughout all of the infinite realms of creation.
Ok so let's now share the more detailed answer :-)
*****
1) Understanding the main aims of the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway
Before we start talking about whether it takes 50+ years to complete the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway, it is firstly important that we provide a good contextual understanding about what the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway is aiming to achieve, as this can help to give us a bigger picture perspective about what these teachings are all about.
In simple terms, the Ascension Pathway energies & teachings help people to transition from an old ‘egoic’ based consciousness into a totally new ‘unified’ consciousness. This is a deeply loving and powerful shift in consciousness that is helping the entire planet to transition from and old age of separation and suffering into a new Golden age, something that is based around love, peace and unity. The personal transformation process that we are being guided through on this Ascension Pathway journey is nothing short of profound. And as we move forwards on this journey, we will often be guided towards a deepened sense of inner peace, love and unity in our life.
For many spiritual seekers, this process of personal transformation, inner healing and purification is a life long journey, as we are guided through the process of releasing & letting go of many karmic obstacles from within and as we move through the many twists and turns of our own life experiences, life lessons and our own karmic debris and obstacles. So this is the first important starting point for understanding how the Ascension Pathway works and how it can help us to live a more happy, loving & peaceful life.
These days, we like to think of the Ascension Pathway as being a series of divine offerings, which can help to lead this world into a Golden Age - a place where everyone can feel the energies of peace, harmony and bliss; where we all treat each other with a deep feeling of loving kindness, empathy and compassion. In this way, our beautiful planet can become a spiritual paradise, where there is only happiness and very little (or no) suffering. And again, we feel that the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway is here to help accelerate and support this ongoing transition process.
In addition to this, we also like to think about the Ascension Pathway energies as being an opportunity for each individual to accumulate an array of uplifting karmic merits, which can then (quite literally) pave the way towards an eternal state of happiness, love and peace. In other words, the Ascension Pathway teachings can indeed offer many beautiful benefits that we can enjoy whilst we're here on earth, but also, these energies can offer us many additional benefits at a soul level, that we can then enjoy long after our incarnation here on Earth.
So this is the very important context which can help to provide the framework or bigger picture perspective about this important question. Basically, we're saying that the Ascension Pathway journey that we're all embarking on here is definitely not a small one. Instead, the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway offers you a step by step pathway which can guide you into very beautiful New Consciousness energies. This New Consciousness feeling or energetic vibration is something that's deeply rooted in love, truth, purity, surrender, faith, trust and unity and as such, it can help us to feel more content, happy, peaceful and blissful in our life.
And we would also say that this pathway is not just about the final destination. Instead, these energies & teachings are giving us the opportunity to go deep into our healing work, as we are guided through the process of letting go & releasing many layers of old debris, old hurts, old pains & old energies from within; just anything that no longer serves us for our journey forwards. The Ascension Pathway energies can also help to open you up to more & more of who you truly are, as you receive these beautiful New Consciousness energies and as you feel more love, peace & joy in your life. Also, the many awakenings that you will likely experience on this journey can help you to move towards a more complete experiential understanding about your own inherently divine nature, as you radiate your own magnificence, joy, love, peace, compassion & understanding for all beings to benefit from.
So when someone looks at the Ascension Pathway, as currently shown on the Love Inspiration website, they may notice that the Ascension Pathway can take over 50 years to complete, when completed under the normal timeframes. But we are delighted to share here that these completion timeframes can be reduced quite dramatically, with the introduction of what we refer to as 'acceleration opportunities'. In this first section, we have provided the big picture context about the Ascension Pathway teachings, so let's now start to talk about how we can reduce the completion timeframes of the Ascension Pathway teachings, through the acceleration opportunities.
2) Introducing the basic concept of Ascension Pathway 'acceleration opportunities'
** Please note that it is likely that more acceleration opportunities will continue to be received in the coming years ahead **
In order to help everyone understand the basic concept of acceleration opportunities, let us firstly explain how Marty & Gerry were guided through their own acceleration processes on their Ascension Pathway journey. Once we've understood how Marty & Gerry were able to accelerate through these energies, it can help to explain how the Love Inspiration Community can also start to accelerate their journey.
Marty & Gerry started walking on their Ascension Pathway in 2012. In the early days, Gerry would start receiving 'downloads' from Higher Consciousness and each download would be a new attunement and a new level of the Ascension Pathway. This process basically continued and over a number of years, the ebooks in Step 1 (The Ascension Pathway) were produced. As Marty & Gerry were bringing these levels through, they were also guided towards receiving these energies themselves, as they were guided to follow all of the resting timeframes in the ebooks. These timeframes helped them to release the necessary healing issues for that level, as well as to digest and assimilate the energies more effectively.
Given that there are 8/9 different ebooks for step 1, it is fair to say that the first step of the Ascension Pathway took Marty & Gerry a few years to complete, as they were completing everything under 'normal' timeframes. Also, they were needing to prepare all of the ebooks that you now see on this website (this was part of their benevolent service to all beings) and this benevolent work helped them to accumulate the right amount of karmic merits for their continuing journey forwards (more on that a little later). So again, this first few years of Marty & Gerry's Ascension Pathway required them to move through each of the Ascension Pathway attunements and teachings, at 'normal' speed, which meant that they were guided through the various resting timeframes that are stated within each of the ebooks.
However, as Marty & Gerry continued to progress into Step 2 (The Ascended Pathway), they started to notice that they were being ‘accelerated’ through certain ebooks, teachings and energies. This 'acceleration' first started when they were visiting the Maitri Centre in Nepal. For example, during one of their stays, they were told by Higher Consciousness that spending 1 day in the Maitri Centre was helping them to move through around 10 days worth of energies. And during those years, Marty & Gerry were staying in a Maitri Centre for 5 months at a time and according to this simple rule, this meant that they were able to move through 50 months (or just over 4 years) worth of Ascension Pathway energies in just 5 months of staying in a Maitri Centre.
So this was Marty & Gerry's first exposure to the concept of ‘accelerating’ however at this time, they had thought that this was something that Mahasambodhi Dharmasangha Guru was doing just ‘for them', due to the ongoing karma merit work that they were doing at the time. And each year that Marty & Gerry returned to stay at the Nepal Maitri Centre, they observed the same thing happening each time. Again, for every 1 day they stayed in the Maitri Centre, they would be accelerated through around 10 days worth of energetic uplift. Amazing!
As we understand it, the very pure and pristine energies of a Maitri Centre help to provide a powerful catalyst for inner transformation and this is the reason why it was possible to accelerate. However, we should also point out here that these 'accelerated times' living in a Maitri Centre were often accompanied by immensely difficult and challenging circumstances. For example, for each person who was staying at a Maitri Centre, Marty & Gerry noticed that there would often be times when the person was being guided through very deep and intensive purification. In many cases, an individual will feel some kind of physical and /or emotional healing crisis.
Here at Love Inspiration, we now see any kind of deep purification or any kind of 'life difficulty' as being part of the inherent nature of ascension and energetic uplift. For example, each person who is on the Ascension Pathway journey is always being guided through the process of releasing their inner darkness. Typically, these inner darknesses or impurities will be divinely brought to the surface, by an attunement (or new set of energies) being received, so that our old hurts, pains and ailments can be healed & purified. Once this inner darkness has been released (normally through some kind of healing crisis) the individual is ready to be guided through the next layer of ascension and into a higher level of consciousness (because they have released old energies and there is now more space available for love & light). This simple process then repeats over and over again, with different layers of impurity being released and with many different energetic uplifts taking place along the way.
Anyway, this was the first experience of an acceleration opportunity by Marty & Gerry. And regarding completion timeframes - Marty & Gerry started walking on their Ascension Pathway journey in 2012. During the first few years, they needed to move through those Step 1 teachings at 'normal' speed. However as they progressed into Step 2, they started to become 'accelerated' through various ebooks and through various energies. And over a period of around 8-10 years, with many lengthy stays in a Maitri Centre, they were guided through 50+ years of Ascension Pathway teachings, in around 10 - 12 years in total. And this has helped to bring them a deepened sense of inner peace, love & unity in their life.
3) How will Love Inspiration offer these acceleration opportunities to everyone?
** Please note that it is likely that more acceleration opportunities will continue to be received in the coming years ahead **
So now that we have a basic understanding about how Marty & Gerry were guided to move through their acceleration opportunities, let's talk a little more about how the Love Inspiration Community can start to benefit from these same kinds of acceleration opportunities.
To start with, let us point out here that the from about 2010 - 2020, the main focus of Love Inspiration has been to bring through, document & share all of the various teachings that you can find on this website. And since 2020, the focus seems to have changed slightly and we are starting to notice more & more acceleration opportunities now starting to be received from Higher Consciousness. Our best estimate at this stage is that these will likely continue evolving, as the Love Inspiration Community continues to progress on their various Ascension Pathway journeys and as more & more karmic merits are accumulated by the community as a whole.
In the previous section, we said that Marty & Gerry only started to receive their acceleration opportunities during Step 2 of the Ascension Pathway and so far, the teachings that we've received from Higher Consciousness seem to indicate that this will also apply to the Love Inspiration Community. So far, the acceleration options that we've received are only available to those who have completed the first step of the Ascension Pathway and therefore, for anyone who wishes to accelerate through the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway, it is firstly important that you focus on completing Step 1 (The Ascension Pathway) which will take ~3-6 years to complete.
Regarding the acceleration opportunities themselves, what we have received so far vary quite significantly. For example, we have received some 'retreat based' acceleration opportunities that can help the Love Inspiration community to accelerate in the same way as Marty & Gerry did - by spending time in a Maitri Centre. But there are also other acceleration opportunities that can help people to accelerate through the Ascension Pathway teachings, in a variety of different ways.
For example, the most rapid acceleration opportunities that we received so far is the STAR Ascension Gateway Portals (STAR AGP's). This very profound acceleration opportunity is offered to those who are willing to make a significant donation to the charitable purposes of Love Inspiration. As we understand it, by supporting the future projects of Love Inspiration in such a major way (through a large donation) this creates a very significant amount of karmic merits, which then paves the way to receiving the rapid acceleration that this opportunity offers. But Higher Consciousness also understand that making such a large financial sacrifice will not be possible for many people and so, there are other acceleration opportunities as well.
For example, there are the 'retreat' based acceleration opportunities, which can offer very powerful acceleration opportunities in the future. So far, we have received two different retreat options, the Accelerated Energetic Integration Retreats (A.E.I Retreats) and the Golden Ticket Retreats. These opportunities will work in the same way as we talked about earlier. For example, Marty & Gerry were able to accelerate by spending time volunteering in a Maitri Centre and so, each Love Inspiration practitioner will also be lovingly invited to come and stay in a Maitri Centre for their own acceleration opportunities. Effectively, this means that a person will be able to fast-track through one ebook in around 10% of the completion time, which means that there can be a very dramatic reduction in the overall completion time of the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway. However we also should point out here that because these opportunities require someone to come & stay in a Maitri Centre, these opportunities are not yet available, as we are still in the early stages of trying to create such a place, for all to benefit from.
And then, in addition to both of those acceleration opportunities above, Love Inspiration is also delighted to offer another very special way to accelerate the Ascension Pathway and that is through the Ascension Healing Boosters. In simple terms, when you receive an Ascension Healing Booster, you will be receiving a powerful influx of energies which is divinely tailored to what you are needing at that time, so that you can move forwards on your Ascension Pathway journey more easily. And the best part is that at each level of Ascension Healing Booster, Higher Consciousness will be lovingly offering you a new acceleration opportunity. In this way, the Ascension Healing Boosters can offer you the chance to receive a wonderful array of energetic assistance, that can help to smoothen out your ascension journey and as an added bonus, you will also receive a small gift of acceleration, that you can use for the Ascension Pathway. Wonderful!
So this is a basic overview about the 'major acceleration opportunities' that we have received so far and let us just say here that these opportunities can help to bring about a very significant reduction in the overall completion timeframes of your Ascension Pathway journey. And again, the 'retreat' options are not yet available because Love Inspiration is still in the early stages of creating a Maitri Centre in New Zealand. As we understand it, this project will manifest in alignment with the energetic momentum & accumulated karmic merits of the Love Inspiration Community and so, we simply trust that this project will manifest at the divinely appropriate time.
And then finally, in addition to these 'main' acceleration opportunities, there are also some 'minor' acceleration opportunities that start to become available to those who are ready to start receiving the Di-Ascension Healing energies (available from The Unified Pathway To Transcending The Light - Volume 1 or Pathway To Light - Volume 6). Here, Higher Consciousness has lovingly offered each person the chance to share the Love Inspiration Ascension Healing energies and for those who choose to do this, they can qualify for a small acceleration opportunity on their Ascension Pathway. This is a wonderful introduction to the idea of an acceleration opportunity and very importantly, this is tied into the concept of 'accumulating karmic merits'. For example, as you start sending out the Ascension Healing energies with us, it helps you to accumulate karmic merits, which then helps you to get the acceleration benefits being offered.
4) Understanding the role of karmic merits in the acceleration process
Now that we've introduced the basic acceleration opportunities, it is important that we talk about the correlation between karmic merits & acceleration. As we understand it, each person's opportunities to accelerate will always manifest 'in alignment with their own karmic circumstances'. For example, Marty & Gerry have been told by Higher Consciousness that they were only able to accelerate on their own Ascension Pathway because of their ongoing benevolent service, which helped them to accumulate a good amount of karmic merits for their journey forwards. In other words, this accumulation of karmic merits helps to create the right energetic circumstances, which can then manifest as acceleration opportunities for your Ascension Pathway journey.
If Marty & Gerry had not accumulated the right amount of karmic merits, then these kinds of acceleration opportunities would either have been not presented to them or there would have been more obstacles to move through before being able to receive that acceleration. And whilst this is a very simple teaching, it is also a deeply important one for all Ascension Pathway recipients to really grasp. And we want to do our best to help each person accumulate karmic merits for their highest possible good, so we have created an important webpage which talks about how to accumulate karmic merits in the highest possible way.
In summary, the above webpage explains that it is always a person’s karmic merits which help to pave the way to their own ascension and to the acceleration opportunities that we have been speaking about here. For example, if a person doesn’t have the required karmic merits to receive an acceleration opportunity, they may find that there are some major karmic obstacles in their way. In this way, we can think of our accumulated karmic merits as being like the fuel for our Ascension Pathway journey and this fuel is responsible for propelling our ascension 'car' forwards so that we can more easily move forwards.
5) How many years can the acceleration opportunities shave off the Ascension Pathway?
** Please note that it is likely that more acceleration opportunities will continue to be received in the coming years ahead **
We've now covered the basics about the types of acceleration opportunities that Love Inspiration offers. And to this, we wish to add that its quite possible and maybe even likely that more acceleration opportunities will be 'brought through' in the future. And at this point, we now want to talk about how much time these acceleration opportunities can shave off the Ascension Pathway journey.
To help show this clearly, we have put together a series of 'acceleration tables' that are shown at the bottom of our Accelerate Your Pathway Introduction webpage. These tables show you exactly which ebooks can be accelerated & how - and they show you exactly how long the pathway can be, if you decide to take up all of the different acceleration options.
And for those who have looked at these tables, you may have noticed that the retreat based options are a very powerful way to accelerate. And with this in mind, in the hope that we can give everyone the chance to accelerate their journey in the highest possible way, it seems that Love Inspiration is now starting to really focus on the goal of creating a Maitri Centre in New Zealand. This it seems is the longer term direction of Love Inspiration and with the newest addition to the acceleration opportunities (the STAR AGPs) it seems that Higher Consciousness are helping to build financial resources (whilst also helping people accelerate) so that more & more acceleration is possible in the future.
It seems that the first phase of Love Inspiration (say from 2012 - 2020) has been to create the Ascension Pathway journey however from 2020 onwards, it feels like the next phase of Love Inspiration is now to start moving towards the goal of setting up a physical location, where people can come and be accelerated through the Ascension Pathway teachings, in the same way as Marty & Gerry were on their own journey. Of course, setting up a Maitri Centre is a massive undertaking. Not only will it require significant financial resources but it will also require a significant energetic or karmic foundation, before being able to manifest here in this physical Earthly realm.
6) Understanding that things are still evolving, in line with our collective karma
Before we can talk about karma and how this impacts how things unfold, we firstly need to lovingly point out that Love Inspiration is simply a vehicle for Higher Consciousness to flow through. Everything is always unfolding in direct alignment with the needs of the Love Inspiration Community, and in direct proportion with the collective karma of the Love Inspiration Community as a whole.
In the past, we have been told that when the Love Inspiration Community (i.e. all those taking the Love Inspiration courses) follows along with the teachings of Love Inspiration, it helps them to accumulate a wonderful array of karmic merits. And this then helps to infuse the whole community with karmic merit which then helps to provide the fuel for continuing the evolution of Love Inspiration.
We have also been told that when the Love Inspiration Community members do the Maitri Dharma practices, it can help them to accumulate an 'unfathomable' amount of karmic merits. This will not only be helping each person to manifest acceleration opportunities on their own pathway, but it is also a very powerful way for the Love Inspiration Community as a whole to continue evolving very quickly, which means that bigger projects like establishing a Maitri Centre can also be manifested more quickly.
For example, whenever we have asked about when a Maitri Centre might manifest in New Zealand, we have been told that this will depend on the karmic merit accumulation of the Love Inspiration (& Maitri) Community as a whole. In this way, we are understanding more deeply that this really is a 'collective' movement. And when established, a Maitri Centre in New Zealand can become the main hub for those Love Inspiration individuals wishing to accelerate, while also being a place for the Maitri Community to visit & enjoy as well.
And it is for all of these reasons that we continue to suggest that each person keeps moving through the Ascension Pathway energies, as best as they can. And for those who are feeling interested to, we also lovingly recommend starting to incorporate one or more of the Maitri Dharma practices into your day to day routine, if that feels right for you. Of course, there are a great many other ways that one can accumulate good karma merits and for more information about this, we lovingly refer you to our webpage about accumulating karmic merits.
7) Final summary, conclusion and the next steps
As a quick summary then, we understand that some people may feel a little disheartened at first when they see that the Ascension Pathway takes 50+ years to complete under the 'normal' completion timeframes. And whilst this is totally understandable, we also want to reiterate here that Love Inspiration lovingly offers some very powerful acceleration opportunities, which can help to reduce the Ascension Pathway completion timeframes very significantly.
In addition to this, we would also lovingly say that as soon as you start to open up to the Ascension Pathway energies, you are essentially opening yourself up to so many beautiful Higher Consciousness Beings, who will now be watching over you, caring for you and providing energetic assistance for you, in line with your preferences, intentions and karmic circumstances. So in this way, the Ascension Pathway journey is best thought of as a journey, which can help you to 'step by step' move closer towards who you truly are, whilst also connecting you with very very special Beings & energies that can be incredibly beneficial for you.
And these benefits are immeasurable. Generally speaking, we like to think of the benefits in two ways. Firstly, these energies can help you to feel a very deep & profound sense of love, peace, joy & fulfilment in this life. But these Beings & energies can also help to guide your soul to an eternal state of peace, joy and happiness, something that we refer to as a state of mukti-moksha (freedom & liberation).
So with all this in mind, we now wish to talk a little bit about the next steps forward for Love Inspiration. As we mentioned earlier, when we look back on the development of Love Inspiration, it feels like the first phase has been to receive and put together an Ascension Pathway for the world. This is something that helps people transition into the Grand New Maitri Consciousness energies of love, unity & peace and through the first 7 Steps of the Ascension Pathway journey, a person can indeed be guided into this very significant and profound energetic vibration. We feel that this first phase has been a truly epic journey, one which has resulted in what you see on our website today (as shown through the 7 steps of the Ascension Pathway and in the various other healing courses and systems that you can find on the website).
Over the next 10-20 years (phase 2), we are not exactly sure what will manifest but it seems likely that Love Inspiration will continue to receive various 'offerings' from Higher Consciousness and we will continue to work towards creating a Maitri Centre in New Zealand, so that people can be accelerated through their Ascension Pathway journey. Also, the Love Inspiration organisation will continue to offer itself up to Higher Consciousness, in full trust, surrender & gratitude. We are always amazed by the purity & potency of any new teachings that are received. There is no doubt in our minds that the future will bring many more pleasant surprises and our best estimate at this stage is that the acceleration opportunities will start to come into more focus, as more and more people start to progress forwards on their Ascension Pathway and as they start to ready themselves to be propelled and accelerated into higher and more harmonious states of being, very quickly.
Of course, we are never really sure of how things will unfold (as this is in the hands of Higher Consciousness) however again, we lovingly offer up our trust, faith and surrender to the Higher Consciousness entities that are helping to share this pathway with the Earth so lovingly and benevolently. We hope that this FAQ has helped to provide you with some additional understanding about the length of the Ascension Pathway and with much love, we make the wish that everyone has a speedy and happy ascension into the beautiful new consciousness vibration.
Given that the length of the Ascension Pathway is such a common & important question, we want to answer this very thoroughly, and to help do this, we have divided up this FAQ into the below sections, so that we can share all of the relevant information about this topic.
1) Understanding the main aims of the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway
2) Introducing the basic concept of Ascension Pathway 'acceleration opportunities'
3) How will Love Inspiration offer these acceleration opportunities to everyone?
4) Understanding the role of karmic merits in the acceleration process
5) How many years can the acceleration opportunities shave off the Ascension Pathway?
6) Understanding that things are still evolving, in line with our collective karma
7) Final summary, conclusion and the next steps
Before we get into the more detailed answer (in the below sections), the short answer to this question is that yes, completing Steps 1-7 of the Ascension Pathway under 'normal timeframes' can indeed take around 50 years. However there are also many divinely uplifting acceleration opportunities that can cut this down to just a few years or anywhere in between, depending on how you wish to move forwards on your journey. In this way, it's entirely up to you how fast you go and how much you accelerate on your own divinely unique Ascension Pathway journey.
Furthermore, we would also add to this that every step on the Ascension Pathway can help to bring much benefit (both to yourself and to all beings). These benefits are immeasurable and will often be noticed & enjoyed as you continue to progress. And delightfully, the Ascension Pathway energies also offer countless benefits to the all important soul level and they can help with your soul's evolutionary journey i.e. after death. And all of these benefits will start to be received as soon as you start receiving these energies, whether you complete 1 ebook, 10 ebooks or 50 ebooks. With this in mind, we would loving suggest just 'going with the flow' at each step of the way and allow yourself to evolve in the highest possible way. As the old saying goes, this is more about the journey itself than it is about the final destination.
Also, one of the main attributes of the Ascension Pathway is that it can help you unpack many layers of old or stagnant energies from within. This is very important because once we unpack those energies, we can more deeply & easily step into the New Consciousness energies of love, truth, understanding, peace, happiness & joy. In this way, there may be times when the Ascension Pathway energies may offer you some challenges. But with a feeling of joyous perseverance & trust (knowing that you are being divinely guided), you can continue to enjoy the various healing & transformation opportunities, along with the countless ascensions & energetic upgrades that these beautiful teachings are offering you.
In summary then, the Ascension Pathway is a step-by-step journey that can help to guide you into very profound awakenings, ascension & divine uplift. It does this over a period of many years and in this way, it can help you to experience very powerful & profound transformation at a physical, mental, emotional & spiritual level. With much love, we hope that you enjoy the journey and may you continue to radiate all your love, light, joy & peace for all beings to benefit from, throughout all of the infinite realms of creation.
Ok so let's now share the more detailed answer :-)

So when someone looks at the Ascension Pathway, as currently shown on the Love Inspiration website, they may notice that the Ascension Pathway can take over 50 years to complete, when completed under the normal timeframes. But we are delighted to share here that these completion timeframes can be reduced quite dramatically, with the introduction of what we refer to as 'acceleration opportunities'. In this first section, we have provided the big picture context about the Ascension Pathway teachings, so let's now start to talk about how we can reduce the completion timeframes of the Ascension Pathway teachings, through the acceleration opportunities.
2) Introducing the basic concept of Ascension Pathway 'acceleration opportunities'
** Please note that it is likely that more acceleration opportunities will continue to be received in the coming years ahead **
In order to help everyone understand the basic concept of acceleration opportunities, let us firstly explain how Marty & Gerry were guided through their own acceleration processes on their Ascension Pathway journey. Once we've understood how Marty & Gerry were able to accelerate through these energies, it can help to explain how the Love Inspiration Community can also start to accelerate their journey.
Marty & Gerry started walking on their Ascension Pathway in 2012. In the early days, Gerry would start receiving 'downloads' from Higher Consciousness and each download would be a new attunement and a new level of the Ascension Pathway. This process basically continued and over a number of years, the ebooks in Step 1 (The Ascension Pathway) were produced. As Marty & Gerry were bringing these levels through, they were also guided towards receiving these energies themselves, as they were guided to follow all of the resting timeframes in the ebooks. These timeframes helped them to release the necessary healing issues for that level, as well as to digest and assimilate the energies more effectively.
Given that there are 8/9 different ebooks for step 1, it is fair to say that the first step of the Ascension Pathway took Marty & Gerry a few years to complete, as they were completing everything under 'normal' timeframes. Also, they were needing to prepare all of the ebooks that you now see on this website (this was part of their benevolent service to all beings) and this benevolent work helped them to accumulate the right amount of karmic merits for their continuing journey forwards (more on that a little later). So again, this first few years of Marty & Gerry's Ascension Pathway required them to move through each of the Ascension Pathway attunements and teachings, at 'normal' speed, which meant that they were guided through the various resting timeframes that are stated within each of the ebooks.
However, as Marty & Gerry continued to progress into Step 2 (The Ascended Pathway), they started to notice that they were being ‘accelerated’ through certain ebooks, teachings and energies. This 'acceleration' first started when they were visiting the Maitri Centre in Nepal. For example, during one of their stays, they were told by Higher Consciousness that spending 1 day in the Maitri Centre was helping them to move through around 10 days worth of energies. And during those years, Marty & Gerry were staying in a Maitri Centre for 5 months at a time and according to this simple rule, this meant that they were able to move through 50 months (or just over 4 years) worth of Ascension Pathway energies in just 5 months of staying in a Maitri Centre.
So this was Marty & Gerry's first exposure to the concept of ‘accelerating’ however at this time, they had thought that this was something that Mahasambodhi Dharmasangha Guru was doing just ‘for them', due to the ongoing karma merit work that they were doing at the time. And each year that Marty & Gerry returned to stay at the Nepal Maitri Centre, they observed the same thing happening each time. Again, for every 1 day they stayed in the Maitri Centre, they would be accelerated through around 10 days worth of energetic uplift. Amazing!
As we understand it, the very pure and pristine energies of a Maitri Centre help to provide a powerful catalyst for inner transformation and this is the reason why it was possible to accelerate. However, we should also point out here that these 'accelerated times' living in a Maitri Centre were often accompanied by immensely difficult and challenging circumstances. For example, for each person who was staying at a Maitri Centre, Marty & Gerry noticed that there would often be times when the person was being guided through very deep and intensive purification. In many cases, an individual will feel some kind of physical and /or emotional healing crisis.
Here at Love Inspiration, we now see any kind of deep purification or any kind of 'life difficulty' as being part of the inherent nature of ascension and energetic uplift. For example, each person who is on the Ascension Pathway journey is always being guided through the process of releasing their inner darkness. Typically, these inner darknesses or impurities will be divinely brought to the surface, by an attunement (or new set of energies) being received, so that our old hurts, pains and ailments can be healed & purified. Once this inner darkness has been released (normally through some kind of healing crisis) the individual is ready to be guided through the next layer of ascension and into a higher level of consciousness (because they have released old energies and there is now more space available for love & light). This simple process then repeats over and over again, with different layers of impurity being released and with many different energetic uplifts taking place along the way.
Anyway, this was the first experience of an acceleration opportunity by Marty & Gerry. And regarding completion timeframes - Marty & Gerry started walking on their Ascension Pathway journey in 2012. During the first few years, they needed to move through those Step 1 teachings at 'normal' speed. However as they progressed into Step 2, they started to become 'accelerated' through various ebooks and through various energies. And over a period of around 8-10 years, with many lengthy stays in a Maitri Centre, they were guided through 50+ years of Ascension Pathway teachings, in around 10 - 12 years in total. And this has helped to bring them a deepened sense of inner peace, love & unity in their life.
3) How will Love Inspiration offer these acceleration opportunities to everyone?
** Please note that it is likely that more acceleration opportunities will continue to be received in the coming years ahead **
So now that we have a basic understanding about how Marty & Gerry were guided to move through their acceleration opportunities, let's talk a little more about how the Love Inspiration Community can start to benefit from these same kinds of acceleration opportunities.
To start with, let us point out here that the from about 2010 - 2020, the main focus of Love Inspiration has been to bring through, document & share all of the various teachings that you can find on this website. And since 2020, the focus seems to have changed slightly and we are starting to notice more & more acceleration opportunities now starting to be received from Higher Consciousness. Our best estimate at this stage is that these will likely continue evolving, as the Love Inspiration Community continues to progress on their various Ascension Pathway journeys and as more & more karmic merits are accumulated by the community as a whole.
In the previous section, we said that Marty & Gerry only started to receive their acceleration opportunities during Step 2 of the Ascension Pathway and so far, the teachings that we've received from Higher Consciousness seem to indicate that this will also apply to the Love Inspiration Community. So far, the acceleration options that we've received are only available to those who have completed the first step of the Ascension Pathway and therefore, for anyone who wishes to accelerate through the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway, it is firstly important that you focus on completing Step 1 (The Ascension Pathway) which will take ~3-6 years to complete.
Regarding the acceleration opportunities themselves, what we have received so far vary quite significantly. For example, we have received some 'retreat based' acceleration opportunities that can help the Love Inspiration community to accelerate in the same way as Marty & Gerry did - by spending time in a Maitri Centre. But there are also other acceleration opportunities that can help people to accelerate through the Ascension Pathway teachings, in a variety of different ways.
For example, the most rapid acceleration opportunities that we received so far is the STAR Ascension Gateway Portals (STAR AGP's). This very profound acceleration opportunity is offered to those who are willing to make a significant donation to the charitable purposes of Love Inspiration. As we understand it, by supporting the future projects of Love Inspiration in such a major way (through a large donation) this creates a very significant amount of karmic merits, which then paves the way to receiving the rapid acceleration that this opportunity offers. But Higher Consciousness also understand that making such a large financial sacrifice will not be possible for many people and so, there are other acceleration opportunities as well.
For example, there are the 'retreat' based acceleration opportunities, which can offer very powerful acceleration opportunities in the future. So far, we have received two different retreat options, the Accelerated Energetic Integration Retreats (A.E.I Retreats) and the Golden Ticket Retreats. These opportunities will work in the same way as we talked about earlier. For example, Marty & Gerry were able to accelerate by spending time volunteering in a Maitri Centre and so, each Love Inspiration practitioner will also be lovingly invited to come and stay in a Maitri Centre for their own acceleration opportunities. Effectively, this means that a person will be able to fast-track through one ebook in around 10% of the completion time, which means that there can be a very dramatic reduction in the overall completion time of the Love Inspiration Ascension Pathway. However we also should point out here that because these opportunities require someone to come & stay in a Maitri Centre, these opportunities are not yet available, as we are still in the early stages of trying to create such a place, for all to benefit from.
And then, in addition to both of those acceleration opportunities above, Love Inspiration is also delighted to offer another very special way to accelerate the Ascension Pathway and that is through the Ascension Healing Boosters. In simple terms, when you receive an Ascension Healing Booster, you will be receiving a powerful influx of energies which is divinely tailored to what you are needing at that time, so that you can move forwards on your Ascension Pathway journey more easily. And the best part is that at each level of Ascension Healing Booster, Higher Consciousness will be lovingly offering you a new acceleration opportunity. In this way, the Ascension Healing Boosters can offer you the chance to receive a wonderful array of energetic assistance, that can help to smoothen out your ascension journey and as an added bonus, you will also receive a small gift of acceleration, that you can use for the Ascension Pathway. Wonderful!
So this is a basic overview about the 'major acceleration opportunities' that we have received so far and let us just say here that these opportunities can help to bring about a very significant reduction in the overall completion timeframes of your Ascension Pathway journey. And again, the 'retreat' options are not yet available because Love Inspiration is still in the early stages of creating a Maitri Centre in New Zealand. As we understand it, this project will manifest in alignment with the energetic momentum & accumulated karmic merits of the Love Inspiration Community and so, we simply trust that this project will manifest at the divinely appropriate time.
And then finally, in addition to these 'main' acceleration opportunities, there are also some 'minor' acceleration opportunities that start to become available to those who are ready to start receiving the Di-Ascension Healing energies (available from The Unified Pathway To Transcending The Light - Volume 1 or Pathway To Light - Volume 6). Here, Higher Consciousness has lovingly offered each person the chance to share the Love Inspiration Ascension Healing energies and for those who choose to do this, they can qualify for a small acceleration opportunity on their Ascension Pathway. This is a wonderful introduction to the idea of an acceleration opportunity and very importantly, this is tied into the concept of 'accumulating karmic merits'. For example, as you start sending out the Ascension Healing energies with us, it helps you to accumulate karmic merits, which then helps you to get the acceleration benefits being offered.
4) Understanding the role of karmic merits in the acceleration process
Now that we've introduced the basic acceleration opportunities, it is important that we talk about the correlation between karmic merits & acceleration. As we understand it, each person's opportunities to accelerate will always manifest 'in alignment with their own karmic circumstances'. For example, Marty & Gerry have been told by Higher Consciousness that they were only able to accelerate on their own Ascension Pathway because of their ongoing benevolent service, which helped them to accumulate a good amount of karmic merits for their journey forwards. In other words, this accumulation of karmic merits helps to create the right energetic circumstances, which can then manifest as acceleration opportunities for your Ascension Pathway journey.
If Marty & Gerry had not accumulated the right amount of karmic merits, then these kinds of acceleration opportunities would either have been not presented to them or there would have been more obstacles to move through before being able to receive that acceleration. And whilst this is a very simple teaching, it is also a deeply important one for all Ascension Pathway recipients to really grasp. And we want to do our best to help each person accumulate karmic merits for their highest possible good, so we have created an important webpage which talks about how to accumulate karmic merits in the highest possible way.
In summary, the above webpage explains that it is always a person’s karmic merits which help to pave the way to their own ascension and to the acceleration opportunities that we have been speaking about here. For example, if a person doesn’t have the required karmic merits to receive an acceleration opportunity, they may find that there are some major karmic obstacles in their way. In this way, we can think of our accumulated karmic merits as being like the fuel for our Ascension Pathway journey and this fuel is responsible for propelling our ascension 'car' forwards so that we can more easily move forwards.
5) How many years can the acceleration opportunities shave off the Ascension Pathway?
** Please note that it is likely that more acceleration opportunities will continue to be received in the coming years ahead **
We've now covered the basics about the types of acceleration opportunities that Love Inspiration offers. And to this, we wish to add that its quite possible and maybe even likely that more acceleration opportunities will be 'brought through' in the future. And at this point, we now want to talk about how much time these acceleration opportunities can shave off the Ascension Pathway journey.
To help show this clearly, we have put together a series of 'acceleration tables' that are shown at the bottom of our Accelerate Your Pathway Introduction webpage. These tables show you exactly which ebooks can be accelerated & how - and they show you exactly how long the pathway can be, if you decide to take up all of the different acceleration options.
And for those who have looked at these tables, you may have noticed that the retreat based options are a very powerful way to accelerate. And with this in mind, in the hope that we can give everyone the chance to accelerate their journey in the highest possible way, it seems that Love Inspiration is now starting to really focus on the goal of creating a Maitri Centre in New Zealand. This it seems is the longer term direction of Love Inspiration and with the newest addition to the acceleration opportunities (the STAR AGPs) it seems that Higher Consciousness are helping to build financial resources (whilst also helping people accelerate) so that more & more acceleration is possible in the future.
It seems that the first phase of Love Inspiration (say from 2012 - 2020) has been to create the Ascension Pathway journey however from 2020 onwards, it feels like the next phase of Love Inspiration is now to start moving towards the goal of setting up a physical location, where people can come and be accelerated through the Ascension Pathway teachings, in the same way as Marty & Gerry were on their own journey. Of course, setting up a Maitri Centre is a massive undertaking. Not only will it require significant financial resources but it will also require a significant energetic or karmic foundation, before being able to manifest here in this physical Earthly realm.
6) Understanding that things are still evolving, in line with our collective karma
Before we can talk about karma and how this impacts how things unfold, we firstly need to lovingly point out that Love Inspiration is simply a vehicle for Higher Consciousness to flow through. Everything is always unfolding in direct alignment with the needs of the Love Inspiration Community, and in direct proportion with the collective karma of the Love Inspiration Community as a whole.
In the past, we have been told that when the Love Inspiration Community (i.e. all those taking the Love Inspiration courses) follows along with the teachings of Love Inspiration, it helps them to accumulate a wonderful array of karmic merits. And this then helps to infuse the whole community with karmic merit which then helps to provide the fuel for continuing the evolution of Love Inspiration.
We have also been told that when the Love Inspiration Community members do the Maitri Dharma practices, it can help them to accumulate an 'unfathomable' amount of karmic merits. This will not only be helping each person to manifest acceleration opportunities on their own pathway, but it is also a very powerful way for the Love Inspiration Community as a whole to continue evolving very quickly, which means that bigger projects like establishing a Maitri Centre can also be manifested more quickly.
For example, whenever we have asked about when a Maitri Centre might manifest in New Zealand, we have been told that this will depend on the karmic merit accumulation of the Love Inspiration (& Maitri) Community as a whole. In this way, we are understanding more deeply that this really is a 'collective' movement. And when established, a Maitri Centre in New Zealand can become the main hub for those Love Inspiration individuals wishing to accelerate, while also being a place for the Maitri Community to visit & enjoy as well.
And it is for all of these reasons that we continue to suggest that each person keeps moving through the Ascension Pathway energies, as best as they can. And for those who are feeling interested to, we also lovingly recommend starting to incorporate one or more of the Maitri Dharma practices into your day to day routine, if that feels right for you. Of course, there are a great many other ways that one can accumulate good karma merits and for more information about this, we lovingly refer you to our webpage about accumulating karmic merits.
7) Final summary, conclusion and the next steps
As a quick summary then, we understand that some people may feel a little disheartened at first when they see that the Ascension Pathway takes 50+ years to complete under the 'normal' completion timeframes. And whilst this is totally understandable, we also want to reiterate here that Love Inspiration lovingly offers some very powerful acceleration opportunities, which can help to reduce the Ascension Pathway completion timeframes very significantly.
In addition to this, we would also lovingly say that as soon as you start to open up to the Ascension Pathway energies, you are essentially opening yourself up to so many beautiful Higher Consciousness Beings, who will now be watching over you, caring for you and providing energetic assistance for you, in line with your preferences, intentions and karmic circumstances. So in this way, the Ascension Pathway journey is best thought of as a journey, which can help you to 'step by step' move closer towards who you truly are, whilst also connecting you with very very special Beings & energies that can be incredibly beneficial for you.
And these benefits are immeasurable. Generally speaking, we like to think of the benefits in two ways. Firstly, these energies can help you to feel a very deep & profound sense of love, peace, joy & fulfilment in this life. But these Beings & energies can also help to guide your soul to an eternal state of peace, joy and happiness, something that we refer to as a state of mukti-moksha (freedom & liberation).
So with all this in mind, we now wish to talk a little bit about the next steps forward for Love Inspiration. As we mentioned earlier, when we look back on the development of Love Inspiration, it feels like the first phase has been to receive and put together an Ascension Pathway for the world. This is something that helps people transition into the Grand New Maitri Consciousness energies of love, unity & peace and through the first 7 Steps of the Ascension Pathway journey, a person can indeed be guided into this very significant and profound energetic vibration. We feel that this first phase has been a truly epic journey, one which has resulted in what you see on our website today (as shown through the 7 steps of the Ascension Pathway and in the various other healing courses and systems that you can find on the website).
Over the next 10-20 years (phase 2), we are not exactly sure what will manifest but it seems likely that Love Inspiration will continue to receive various 'offerings' from Higher Consciousness and we will continue to work towards creating a Maitri Centre in New Zealand, so that people can be accelerated through their Ascension Pathway journey. Also, the Love Inspiration organisation will continue to offer itself up to Higher Consciousness, in full trust, surrender & gratitude. We are always amazed by the purity & potency of any new teachings that are received. There is no doubt in our minds that the future will bring many more pleasant surprises and our best estimate at this stage is that the acceleration opportunities will start to come into more focus, as more and more people start to progress forwards on their Ascension Pathway and as they start to ready themselves to be propelled and accelerated into higher and more harmonious states of being, very quickly.
Of course, we are never really sure of how things will unfold (as this is in the hands of Higher Consciousness) however again, we lovingly offer up our trust, faith and surrender to the Higher Consciousness entities that are helping to share this pathway with the Earth so lovingly and benevolently. We hope that this FAQ has helped to provide you with some additional understanding about the length of the Ascension Pathway and with much love, we make the wish that everyone has a speedy and happy ascension into the beautiful new consciousness vibration.
