Q: During group meditation, the karma and energy are shared. How much does this affect the practitioners?
M:
It depends on your sincerity and concentration at
the time. The more concentrated and sincere you are, the more blessing
you get from your share. You only get as much as you can receive so concentrate,
be sincere!
Overcome the Karmic Obstacles on the Spiritual Path

Q: Everyone has reached a certain level so is it possible for us to fall to a lower level?
M:
For a while, yes, but mostly not. For example, if
you’re going upward and then suddenly accrue some bad karma, of
course you have to be cleansed. And it seems as though you’re going
downward, but you’re not. It’s just a cleansing process. Most
of the time you just go up. You never go downward and anything that happens
just slows down your progress. It’s like an obstacle, like you’re
driving on the highway very nicely and suddenly there’s a stone
in the road or a carcass or some dead animal, and you have to stop or
go sideways and then around it or remove the obstacle and go on. It only
slows you down.
