Circumambulating the Inner Mountain ~ Becoming Its’ Core

This month of October, 2025 requires of us a deep inner journey. I read a piece on Medium this morning entitled “You Can't Run From the Tower,” and that phrase fits this timing. Mercury will be in Scorpio until the 29th, honing and fine-tuning our communications within and without.

Rather than perceive this passage as toppling from a tower that no longer supports us, we can open our perception to see where we are within ourselves. It is often the case that what we want to see may be less fruitful or important than what Source knows we need to perceive. This is especially true N.O.W. as we nurture the oneness within.

Do we listen to our minds as they keep telling us the same old stories, dredge up the same alleged facts, and obsolete data? Or, do we choose to change channels? It is a choice, what frequencies we allow ourselves to constantly and consistently ingest.

I remember, years ago, facilitating a session with a young man. As he told me the story of what he wanted to work on, Source showed me in great detail that it was the exact same story he had told me during our first session, decades prior. When I pointed this out and asked if he was interested in releasing the pattern completely, his answer was a dumbfounded “Well, this is what’s going on…” My answer was “Still.” He didn’t understand. He wasn’t interested in a deep and profound change, but only in not feeling his uncomfortable feelings. How often have we all been there? We all carry these programs within us until we don’t. To be honest, {welcome to Mercury in Scorpio} that is the position of the dabbler, the existential victim in all of us that only wants the current pain to end and will happily stay in denial if possible. Wouldn’t it be nice for all pain to end? It certainly would, right? And, in this world, in these bodies, that is unlikely. Our bodies are built for joy, but the old world was based on martyrdom and denial. Fact.

Any new worlds we are weaving cannot be based on old structures. Truth.

When structures change, it tends to be uncomfortable. Thus, the Tower experience. The Tower is quite different from our current inward-facing spiral. It is good to know this. Allowing the whirlpool to draw us in is a type of support with which we may not be familiar or comfortable. What matters most to your Source Essence, not to your patterns? Is it comfort or transformation? Does there have to be an either/or involved?

“Well, my life has not been comfortable.” Whose has, if a life of transformation was chosen? We can choose differently, again and again, and this month is made up of these moments. We can choose tenderness, gentleness, and respect for our Essence, and for these physical and emotional vehicles that have carried us and been our partners through this turbulent life. Our mental aspects have had most of our attention, as we were taught they must. This passage is different. Intellect is a great tool and need not be abandoned. However, its days of dominance have ended. Now we are guided through the re-balancing of our precious sacred space.

As we circumambulate our inner temple, we pass by or pass through each and every one of our old delusions, especially those that we have believed keep us safe. This does not mean reliving any of them. This is a cycle of observing consciousness, through which lens of perception we see the truth of our dying realities.

Why have an experience if not to learn from it? Why keep having the same ones when the learning is complete? The same old experiences will not produce new lessons. Fact. Aren’t we all ready for new ones? If we carry remaining patterns that disagree, it is time to let their energies be re-purposed and set free.

And, if the mind tries to argue that ‘being’ must mean a passive, boring state, tell it to stand down, for goodness’ sake. That reaction only indicates an addiction on the part of a mental pattern to being the doer and being in control and wanting things the way it wants them. Talk about boring! This is where the discipline of surrender comes in.

What is the “fast path” in these times? How has this time-space pixel shifted and altered those trajectories? Do any fixed linear tracks still exist?

Enter the deep, secret sacred. Let it enfold all that you are. This is the holy place inside each one of us. Here it comes. Here it is. We are that. The moment has arrived. Time to be. That pilot light has been lit. In truth, it has never wavered. What if an inner glow could grow? Have we not yearned for this in our secret depths? What if we could simply live from this sacred space? What if that was Original Intent all along?

This October is a perfect transit for diving deeply within, being quiet, mostly listening, and emerging from this chrysalis as Original Essence. Have a peaceful week.

Ssshhhh! From the stillness comes certainty and clarity in Source’s own time.

Much love,
