Is it important to complete the resting days in between the Ascension Pathway practices?
Yes, absolutely!
When receiving new energies, either through attunements or self healing practices, we are normally asked to move through a prescribed period of rest or 'rest & digest'. These resting periods are very important, as they help us 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 for healing what is required so that you can successfully ascend into a higher vibration for the benefit of all.
It is important to know that all of the resting timeframes, along with the prescribed instructions, practices and prerequisites in each and every ebook are directly from Higher Consciousness and are most certainly to be followed, for your own divine benefit - and for that of all. Because the energetic frequencies in each ebook build on top of each other, step-by-step, it is critically important that you follow the divine instructions and this includes ensuring that you have competed all the necessary timeframes, including the resting timeframes, as a foundation for the next set of energies to build upon.
We understand that there may be a temptation to rush through the teachings, especially during the resting timeframes where you may feel like you are not ‘doing’ anything. But again, the resting timeframes are a very important part of the journey and we do lovingly 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 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.”
Furthermore, there have been times where Higher Consciousness has explained that the resting periods are actually even more important than the symbol practices! This is because the energies from the symbol practices are still moving and helping to clear away impurities, which then help to guide you through the important ascension and vibrational uplift (which often occurs during/after these resting periods).
As such, as you move through these resting timeframes, it is possible that you will experience some kind of healing crisis (or crises) as these old, stagnant or ‘less than light’ energies are being released from your energy system. And if you were to skip over these resting timeframes, it would mean that you are not giving yourself the time to move through this necessary healing. And you can therefore miss out on the all important ‘ascension’ into the next/heightened level of consciousness, as well as also not being ‘energetically ready’ to receive the next level of energies. So completing the resting timeframes is very important, just as it is important to follow all the other divinely designed instructions of each ebook.
In addition to the above messages, Higher Consciousness has also shared two analogies that can help explain the energetic impact of not following along with the timeframes and/or instructions and rushing through the ebooks. And again, we wish to share these here so that we can help everyone to receive the highest possible ascension results from the Ascension Pathway teachings.

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 tumbling 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.

So again, we do lovingly request that you always adhere to the resting timeframes shown in each of the Ascension Pathway ebooks. We also lovingly suggest that you listen to your body during these 'resting' times so that you can treat yourself with loving kindness wherever possible. For example, if you are feeling like some extra self-care during these times, then please enjoy this with much love in your heart. If you are feeling like you need a few days of ‘rest & relaxation' then again, please enjoy this time knowing that you are healing, expanding and blossoming.
