That's the order that everything follows. Any project, business, project, work whether it be human or esoteric: all payment in establishing, reciprocity and multiplying merits.
Take a Gnostic centre for example.
The beginning is hard work. Real honest effort is required to find students, find a suitable place, advertise, meet new people, explain in genuine good humour what is Gnosis, answer questions, give classes. It is a lot about giving and paying everything forward towards the goal of establishing.
Once established, comes reciprocity where people who have received from what we have been giving, begin to give back. Things then go more towards balance. What we have outlaid before is compensated in some way.
After reciprocity, comes the stage of merit where values, gifts, help, support all come freely and tangibly without asking and without expecting or knowing.
This stage is wonderful, as everything that is done has a multiplying effect. Values multiply and there is much more abounding freedom and happiness.
People who are doing it tough are uplifted when people who are in this stage of 'dharma multiplying' come to visit. Hope, joy, faith and love rise in them when someone in this stage visits.
End (6104).
