Do I need to follow the prescribed timeframes given in each Ascension Pathway ebook?
Yes, absolutely!
The Ascension Pathway ebooks help to present you with many kinds of wonderful healing & ascension opportunities and the various timeframes help you to receive, digest & assimilate these energies successfully. The timeframes are therefore a very important part of the journey and can help you to gain the most amount of benefit and potential for the energies themselves.
Each of the timeframes have been divinely brought through by Higher Consciousness and have been 'prescribed' so that we are able to get the maximum benefit from the energies being introduced. When we look at the timeframes themselves, it is important to understand that these are minimum timeframes. Therefore, if you wish to spend more time in between levels or take additional resting days in between (than what is prescribed,) then this is totally fine.
For example, we often hear from people who have taken a long break from their learning, only to find that they made their way back to these energies. Alternatively, someone might be out of town for the weekend and so the resting break actually turned out to be three days longer. Both of these are just fine. Please just follow your divine intuition and know that you are being divinely guided perfectly through these teachings, in alignment with your highest possible good.
Most importantly however, we lovingly ask that you please refrain from ‘speeding through’ the practices in less time than has been prescribed. The timeframes being prescribed in the ebooks are all 100% divinely designed. They have been brought through to Love Inspiration by Higher Consciousness who created these healing systems and Ascension Pathways and are therefore very, very important.
Equally so, the resting timeframes being prescribed in between each of the practices have also been 100% divinely designed and as we understand it, they are often even more important than the practices themselves i.e. it is important to give your energy system time to digest & assimilate the new energies being received, at each step of the way.
In other words, the ‘resting’ timeframes will be helping you to clear away, release and surrender deeper layers of impurity which may have been stirred up by the new energies, practices or attunements. As such, the resting period is vital for helping you assimilate the new energies and heal what is required so that you can successfully ascend into a higher vibration for the benefit of all.
We understand that there may be a temptation to rush through the teachings, especially during the resting timeframes where you feel like you are not ‘doing’ anything. But again, the resting timeframes are also a very important part of the journey and we do loving ask that you don’t rush through these timeframes, even if you are not ‘feeling’ anything happening, as Higher Consciousness explains here:
"Each individual on these pathways will find some layers of healing and purification easier than others; this is due to your own karmic circumstances and is not a justified cause to skip timeframes or ‘accelerate’ yourself due to egoic justifications. Please Dear Ones we say it with love - be kind to yourself and follow the pathways as indicated, as best you can. There is no ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ on this journey, but there are circumstances that lead to a more complete journey. Please follow our guidance in the energies and know that you are being watched with great love and abundance.”
Additionally, Higher Consciousness has explained that when someone tries to access energies that they are not energetically ready for (i.e. by rushing through any prescribed completion timeframes), it can actually be quite detrimental to their journey forwards and for the collective journey of the Love Inspiration community as a whole:
“Accessing advanced level energies before you are ripe to receive them can cause backward-sliding effects for not only oneself, but for the Love Inspiration Community & collective consciousness as a whole. Your premature acceleration is not recommended, with love, under any circumstances. Please take heed. “

“It is firstly important for people to be able to access the Ascension Pathway but then secondly it is important that once reached, the pathway is followed correctly. When this pathway was first installed on your earth (via Marty & Gerry), the energies were opened with a collective sense of ‘being’. This means they were opened joyfully for all to benefit from. As time progresses it is becoming more essentially important that those accessing the energies are doing so in a way that rejoicingly adds to the collective sense of ‘being’. The collective sense of being or ‘for the benefit of all’ is the single most critical mindset at this time on earth of ‘I, me, mine’. These mindsets do not allow the ‘all’ to flourish.
With this in mind, Those who are knowingly not following the Ascension Pathway correctly, not using the specified timeframes or jumping ahead to reach advanced levels or practices, we ask you lovingly to refrain. This is not a request for ourselves, but rather a plea to aid your very own ascension. Let us assure you that misusing the energies in this way will not bring you any advancement and in fact, over time, misuse of the energies will corrode your energetic merit & therefore your ability to stay on the pathway.”
Another way to think about these timeframes is to think that they have all been prescribed by Higher Consciousness in your best energetic interests. Over the years, we have received a number of important messages from Higher Consciousness which have explained the importance of adhering to the prescribed timeframes and to help detail this more clearly, Higher Consciousness has provided two analogies:
-----------
Analogy 1 Higher Consciousness showed Gerry an image of a set of childrens' building blocks in the shape of a 4-sided pyramid. On the foundational level, let’s say there are 100 blocks (10x10). The purpose of these 100 blocks is to hold up the next layer (say 9x9) and if any of those 100 blocks are missing from the bottom layer, then some of the next layer blocks wont stay up i.e. they will tumble down. And then the more layers you try to build on top of those crumbling layers, the more blocks that fall off. So instead of having a perfect & strong pyramid, the person ends up with a broken pile of crumbling blocks - and after all their time & effort, they will not have gained much.
Analogy 2 Higher Consciousness gave Gerry the understanding that in the first level (this applies to any set of teachings that you may be receiving) you are like a small two door car, with a small 1.2 litre engine. At this early stage of your journey, your little engine can drive your little car perfectly as it has just the right amount of power to move the 'shell' of the car. As you progress into the next level then, you are upgraded to a ‘sedan’. This is a larger car with four doors and a 2 litre engine. Here, the engine size is again proportionate to the size of the car ‘shell’ and so it drives perfectly, happily and within its capacity.
As you progress forwards into the higher levels, the 'shell' size will continue to get bigger and bigger and to accompany this, you therefore need to complete the practices and receive the attunements so that you can also continue to grow your engine size appropriately.
When you speed through the practices, without allowing the correct amount of time (either to do the practices OR to rest sufficiently) the ‘shell’ size of your car will increase, however your engine size will not. Therefore, if you continue to move forwards in this way, you will be sure to end up with a vehicle the size of a bus which is trying to be driven by a little 1.2 litre engine. In other words, your engine capacity is unable to power your car in an effective, stable or reliable way.
-----------
In summary then, we do kindly request that everyone adheres to the divinely-given prescribed timeframes, as best they can. And for anyone who may have taken an extended break from their practices along the way, no problem - we lovingly invite you to simply pick up from where you left off and continue to move forwards on your journey, as you feel guided.
