Beyond the Veil: Accessing the Realms of Inner Earth & the Message of the Tower
MORNING SESSION #71: Lessons in Discernment, Snake Metaphors, Dragon Energy, and Pure-Hearted Intention
Welcome to my personal space for sharing what I am learning from my energetic teachers. In this series of Morning Sessions, the audio includes the learning experience with extended dialogue. The abbreviated transcript has been edited for easier reading.
NOTE: At the time of this sharing, we had just returned from a three-day trip to visit a friend in North Carolina who is steadily working toward founding a Global Light Center. She had invited us to be with her, in support of her desire to envision her next steps.
On the drive south from Virginia, I received a text message that simply said, “call asap.” It was from a soul brother, someone I’ve known for years and dearly love. He had attended the Colorado gathering we had just returned from a few weeks before. I texted back and gave him two choices: one time was more immediate while in transit, and the other was later that night once we arrived at our destination.
When I returned his call, his voice carried an urgency. It was strong, commanding, with an air of determination to speak frankly. He told me that everything he was about to say was coming from a place of love, and if the roles were reversed, he would want me to do the same for him. Judging from his serious tone, while not having a clue about what he was about to say, I said, “Yes, of course.”
For many minutes, I sat listening without interruption to a tale of how I had been infiltrated, compromised, and taken down by the DARK ONES, citing observed circumstantial details to support the claim of a few unnamed others, backed up by his own inquires of others he trusted. Then he asked, “Will you agree to receive an intervention, a clearing?”
My answer? Yes, of course. I accept this offering with love. I love the Sacred Circles I conduct, and as long as these lovely people come from a place of love and care. Of course! To have them solely focus on me in appreciation of my welfare would be most welcome. Before we ended our conversation, we shared a few stories, accompanied by a lot of laughter, and then said our goodbyes.
I returned to my husband and two friends gathered in the other room, and declared the “Tower” had manifested. During the multiple-hour drive to North Carolina, our friend, who had carpooled with us, had just purchased a new Tarot deck themed on Clarity. She invited us to each draw a card. My card was the Tower, which spoke to a challenge to my reality, something I did not want to hear but was compelled to listen to, to be receptive. The primary message? When the challenge occurs, do not resist. Until that very moment, it made no sense until I got up from my cross-legged sitting position on the floor after saying our goodbyes and stretched my legs. Then it hit me. I had just experienced the message of the Tower.
September 25, 2025 Transcript:
CAROL: So this is where I’d like the morning session to begin: setting up a field that is only of my highest soul’s expression and having great clarity and understanding about all of that. I did sense when that was taking place—it’s peaceful. I could feel the ripple in the field, not a wobble effect at that point, but a ripple, knowing that certain people were really being pinged by what I was sharing as a message or knowing to bring to the Circle. I kept hearing, like when we were in Circle at the stream, “Don’t get hung up on names. Feel into the frequency.”
So that’s where I left it. I felt, personally, inside of me, very peaceful, knowing that there was a ripple effect that was going to take place.
With that, they’re showing me a picture of—well, first I heard “forty days and forty nights”—then they’re showing me a picture of Jesus being cast out into the wilderness to have his experience of being in the desert for forty days and forty nights. They’re saying this was not a literal casting out, if you will. That was a calling for him to be in the stillness, to cast out his demons—his personal demons and the cosmic energies that he was immersed in—and to strengthen his inner voice, his father’s voice, as they say, which is his inner voice.
GUIDES: They’re saying, “Yes, every being of light in a human experience must cast out all of their inner demons.”
CAROL: I’m asking them to explain what they mean by that.
GUIDES: They’re saying, “Anything that would make one feel unsettled, unworthy, unprepared, not ready—there are many, many attributes, if you will, that humans have inherited through their human lineage. These are not because of deeds done. It’s because of the inherent nature of human nature, passed down from one generation to another.”
CAROL: And they’re saying mine is my strong desire to belong—to belong to a human family, a human cast of characters, if you will, that unconditionally know me, see me, understand me, can see the inner light within me truly, and have complete trust and faith in me. As I have attempted over my lifetime and lifetimes to create and recreate that in the human experience, it’s always been a failed attempt.
There’s always some form of fractionalization. Yet they’re saying that in this lifetime, I am to be victorious in my endeavor, which is why the mission of staying fully focused and aligned in bringing the light into form is so important—and also to discern distortion in the field when it occurs and lovingly, kindly address it. Not to be other people’s taskmaster, but simply stating what I feel within myself or around me.
GUIDES: So they’re saying that, “As we are recognizing in this moment of this reality, we had told you—going back to Lake Tahoe—to be still and hear the voice of God within you, and to deeply listen to the beings of light in the lake, for they are beckoning to you. They represent the next wave of consciousness that shall usher in a thousand years of peace upon this planet. They have been waiting for eons to find the right environment, if you will—the most conducive environments of deep love and compassion, while at the same time feeling the sense of freedom.”
CAROL: Which is why we did the work with J. and her family to clear those distortions that fractionalize human consciousness and family systems, while at the same time having or experiencing the deep love of connection that family humans have for one another.
And so they’re saying that as that work was completed, I just also asked them why I received [in our first meditation in Lake Tahoe] the metaphor or the overlay of the snake looking up, swallowing the rat.
Sidenote: Since the late 1980s, when I began engaging in subtle body communication, the Guides have empathically projected an overlay of a being's energy signature to gain a visceral understanding of forms of consciousness. This is their way of teaching me discernment as they communicate through visual metaphor and somatic intuitive knowing.
GUIDES: They’re saying, “We wanted you to understand that there are many life forms on this planet that do not have the human element of compassion and altruism built into their life experience. There are many life forms that simply process from one life force to another. It is the unique nature of human beings that are hardwired for altruism and compassion. This is what we were projecting to you to get very clear—the difference between that which is beguiling, that which is manipulating, that which is, on a subtle level, pretending to be human, to be compassionate, to be in that space of altruism, and that which is not.”
So they’re saying, “When you recognize the difference between those realities, judgment or fear of that life form leaves your body. Your senses perk up, not because you’re afraid, only because you recognize that you are not made of that matter. You’re made of common life force, but you’re not hardwired for that form of creation.”
CAROL: And so they’re saying that when I dropped into Crestone for the activation sequences and the revisiting of the sacred sites, they were showing me the ancient beings that had been here on the planet. They’re specifically showing me the dragon rock now.
GUIDES: They’re saying, “If you remembered, we said to you and showed you the feeling inside that there was a dimensional line.”
CAROL: I remembered that from the time we sat on that stump in the meadow. There was a dimensional line: if you went on one side of the line, you were in this one reality, and if you went on the other, you were in a different reality. But if you stayed in the middle, there was an inner passageway where you could access the Inner Earth, and we could show you what lies beneath the surface of the Earth.
GUIDES: And they’re saying, “You did that. You were guided. You were shown. You did it as a collective. As you went upon the rock, you were sitting on the head of the dragon, and we showed you what that was like when the dragon, the energetics of the dragon, were alive and well. You were sitting on a petrified version of a dragon skeleton on the Earth.
They’re saying that, “as you recognize in this awareness of your life, you were tapping into the consciousness of that being, (which is the vision that I had of being in a very dark cave and watching this slithery, smooth, huge tail with leather-like wings pass me by, with the dragon coming full circle and looking at me eye to eye.)
They’re saying, “When you enter into someone else’s domain, you are their guest. You are to ask permission. You are not simply to be in their energetic space, but simply to understand.” And they’re saying, “This was your rite of passage. This was our way of telling you and showing you where you were in that moment and that you were being given permission to enter into the inner realms of the Earth kingdoms.”
CAROL: And so they’re saying that when I remembered the way back into Inner Earth, the first time I went into Inner Earth down that free-falling waterfall was when we were at Anahata in Floyd, Virginia, over a decade ago, and the over-lighting being that was guiding us at that experience was called Anu. I remembered the feeling of that. It was a new energy for me to experience. They’re saying that Anu is the overlighting Lord of the Inner Earth kingdoms.
It’s like when we pray to Archangel Michael and the Angelic realms in the upper worlds. Anu is the overriding light and the being that honors and takes care of, if you will, or protects the inner worlds, the Inner Earth kingdoms. Which is why, when we did the Bill Buehler workshop—even years before that—they’re showing me that when we went down and I saw the glow deep in the ocean and was invited into that space, it appeared to be a fairy, kind of a little fairy princess with delicate teacups and so forth. That was the beginning of introducing me to that inner world.
And they’re saying that the beings that stopped us that day were the guardians of that inner world. When they say, “Go no further, you don’t have permission,” it was a learning back then about asking permission before one enters into any realm of light.
So they’re saying that as we recognize in this manner of beingness, we as a collective were being very honoring and respectful that day [at dragon rock]. They recognized that, and they recognized our pure-heartedness. And so when I dropped down into Inner Earth and I saw these beautiful—what appeared to be cities of light, almost like glowing, twinkling crystals for as far as the eye could see, like crystal clusters. They appeared, though, that they were clusters of beings, clusters or cities of light.
They’re saying, “What you were witnessing were souls that are gestating—in their gestation period of becoming pure source light. They’re saying that as you recognize in this awareness of your life and living, as you shall create and as you shall go, and as you shall fully orchestrate the changes that shall come your way, all is quite well, you see.”
And the lack of compassion—I was witnessing—they said that I saw the snake figure in Lake Tahoe, and the sense of deep inner peace when I went down into Inner Earth. I felt them to be different. They’re saying that was only one layer for me to see the Mer people and understand that all life forms do not look just like me. We all look different. There are different variations on the same theme.
I just internally asked: by me going down into that Inner Earth world, did that change me? Did I pick up some sort of weird light, or did I take a misstep?
GUIDES: And they’re saying, “No, you didn’t take a misstep at all. You were all in that space together.”
CAROL: It was fascinating for me to witness, from their perspective, that they had gatekeepers among us that were holding the field so that A. and I could go and freely be in those worlds without feeling that we needed to protect ourselves.
CAROL speaking to Mark: So when you were sitting in meditation [next to the dragon rock] and you went way out, you were dropping into that field. We were back in that Bill Buehler configuration where we were told to go down—or shown to go down—and there was a chest there, a golden chest. It looked like it was glowing inside like a prize. And so they’re saying that was preparation for this time, that we know how to get into those inner worlds and come back out unimpeded, without hitchhikers.
Side note: In 2010, I invited my mentor, Bill Buehler, to work with and teach our community his Synergy process for engaging in inter-dimensional exploration. During that process, a young ET entered Mark’s energy field, leaving him feeling lethargic and dizzy. It took us a while to figure out what had happened and to extricate the being, returning him to his rightful place. In part, because of that experience and so many others over the years, practicing impeccable discernment of the energetic realms has become vital.
They’re saying that there was no residual. There’s nothing I picked up. But the feeling of and the inquiry about the dragon—I was equating the dragon like I was thinking of the snake over here [in the Lake Tahoe meditation]. And that’s the energy that I continue to ruminate about to say, “What is that? What is that?” Because it’s unfamiliar to me. And yet you have people in that [Crestone] collective that work with the dragons, who are master dragon communicators. But it’s an unfamiliar energy to me to actually viscerally be so near a dragon. They’re showing me that that’s actually the energy signature that the others in the group were picking up from me—that when I went and I experienced that dragon, that’s as close to a reptilian as I’m going to get.
And A. is not afraid of what she calls Anunnaki. They’re saying her label of that as an Anunnaki princess, either. She was in a very different realm of light. So I’m asking them if it’s a confusion of words, because they said, “Don’t focus on the labels. Don’t focus on the words. Focus on the energy.”
They’re saying that there are many, many worlds that we have no concept of that are coexisting with ours. And if we get hung up on words and create stories from the warrior natures of our earlier times on this Earth, they’re saying you should be more concerned about the Argon (heard and spelled phonetically) race than any other race of beings on this planet.
All those others. They’re showing me pictures of what look like a cross between a dinosaur with a long tail and a rat. That’s the Argon race. Those are the ones that had been enslaving the children and causing torture and influencing people who sell their souls to gain material wealth, who are put through these humiliation rituals and all of that. They’re saying those are the control grids that have been dismantled and are on their way out of this world.
They’re also saying that the concept of having no—how do you say?—no central, for lack of a better word, no centralized leader that takes the point—the Crestone Trinity took on that role of being the host and the organizers, but they didn’t take on the energetic container. They didn’t create the energetic container. We were all there together. And I certainly did not create an energetic container. It was more like just a beautiful grouping of people coming together. And that’s how it is in the world, in society.
Again, I’m tapped into the same deep inner peace that I was when I was in that space in Crestone. So I’m asking, “Did I pick up any hitchhikers or any dark energies around me?” And they’re saying, “No, no, you didn’t pick up any entities. You just mislabeled what you thought you saw and how you interpreted what we were sending your way in terms of visualizations.”
And then I received the signals correctly in terms of it being the time to acquiesce to our more complete sense of who we are and what we are. I think the interpretation—to put our guard down—was not what I was communicating. What I was communicating is to be strong within yourself, empowered within yourself. Know yourself. And if you do that, then there’s nothing to protect against. Simply pay attention to the energetic frequencies that shift around us.
I think I’m coming out of it now because it’s sort of like a mirage, a mirage of energy that is dissipating, and I feel like I’m in a deep puddle of peace here.
MARK: Do you feel like you got your questions answered?
CAROL: I think so, because I’m back to the same feeling of peace that I was in when I was experiencing that Inner Earth and the connection with that race of beings. I did feel, though, at the time—as we started talking about the Anunnaki—that they lacked compassion, and that was the discussion that started happening because of the name that I used [Anu and Aki]. And I think that short-circuited the whole experience. I used that name that had a real strong negative connotation for people. But I’ve never experienced that race of beings, so I’ve been shown and told that they have no compassion. They’re like the snake. However, I have never personally encountered them.
That’s what Spirit has done with me all along in my learning. When I get transfigured or when I’m encountering different kinds of energies, it’s a learning to know what’s what and to stay in my swim lane. Because I’m remembering that I think that’s what happened here also. I picked up on that dragon energy.
The question is: Are all dragons friendly dragons, or are dragons like reptilians? Or do dragons have an ascension path also? Was I witnessing a dragon that was more like a reptilian, as opposed to a dragon that, say, M. communicates with, that’s more like angelic beings, but are warriors?
MARK: I would say the dragons are like people. There’s just the whole spectrum of very exalted dragons and very, very almost demonic dragons too.
CAROL: Well, I remember the dragons that you’d hear about, like in the medieval times or ancient times, and they would attack human beings. They were considered to be a threat. So I don’t think that we can say that one kind of being is only one way. Just like humans, you have humans that are terrible, and then you have humans that are beautiful and godlike.
MARK: So do you feel like you got your question answered about the dynamic, the group dynamic, and the people that were thrown by your words?
CAROL: Oh yeah. I didn’t ask about the group, and they didn’t talk about the group. I get a tremendous sense of love and a combination of love and concern for me personally, which is a deep honor. It's really a heartwarming gesture that someone would care enough about me to want to undertake a rescue mission.
On the other hand, I feel that the warrior nature of those in the group, who have been on the front lines of intergalactic warfare and all that entails, are the ones who were like the centurions on the front lines, being pinged. And the other night I was given that, that’s what happened to the Jews as well. When Jesus came, they had been prophesying a messiah for centuries. And then he came, and they denounced him. They turned him away. And many still don’t recognize him.
Some of us who have the foresight and are on the front lines to protect the village, if you will, are the ones who refuse to recognize the light and the turning of the ages. And that actually was a test. They’re saying, “This is a test.”
It wasn’t a test like pass or fail, but it was a test to see if we were ready to understand that internal acquiescence—recognizing when the light presents in a fuller way, in a fuller form.
In other words, how do we get to a thousand years of peace? Is it because we annihilate every being on Earth that is not like us? Or do we simply understand the differences, both internally and externally, and create boundaries around them? There is a purpose for a snake to be on this Earth. They serve a purpose. And so obviously there is some purpose in learning for other races to be on this Earth also.
I’ve always been shown and told that it’s [our mission] for the unification of all the star races that had come here before, were here, and what stays here resolves here. So, are we going to go to war, or are we going to find a way to coexist? That’s the sense I get. That was actually the question. There’s only one answer to that question when you’re ready, and it’s because our collective is considered to be a Metastar (a collective force that seeds light into other regions, other star groups).
MARK: Still fighting.
CAROL: Still fighting? Then we’re not ready. Then the answer is there is no YES. It’s simple, it’s a very interesting thing that this is a case of take the messenger down, take the seer down, take the one that’s delivering the message, and describe that person as the dark one, as the surrendered one, as the one that’s been infiltrated because you’re not ready. You’re not in that place to understand or to see your own strength, your own sense of empowerment. That’s the history of the human race right there.
MARK: So do you feel like what we wanted to accomplish was accomplished because of that?
CAROL: When I got back and I did the New Earth Matrix [webcast], and that angel transfigured me, she said there was enough of an opening that had occurred in that activation, that attempt, that being in Circle with one another with such a pure-heartedness, that there was a penetration that had happened from both Inner Earth—and that was the thing: to contact Inner Earth. And that’s what we did when we were sitting on the dragon rock. We were able to go there and be accepted there through our pure-heartedness, while at the same time, the angelic beings and higher realm beings could penetrate these control grids enough to start rescuing these children from hell and damnation.
My God, they’ve been so tortured. And that’s how humanity and these controller types have been captured all this time: there are huge underground cities that humans have made. There’s an eyewitness to that. And there’s film now that we can actually see, like entire shopping mall-looking places, all in the name of “in case there’s a holocaust.” And that’s where those very wealthy, compromised people go to do unspeakable things to these children. They were being rescued. They were and are being rescued.
So the message is: we were able to get into that state enough and open enough that those control grids could be penetrated. So I would say, was it complete? I felt very peaceful when I left there, knowing that we had—I had—because of the words or what I was presenting—it’s an interesting thing because there’s Carol the personality self. Then there’s Carol, the myself-receiving-messenger part of self that is simply repeating what I’m receiving and feeling.
So that’s actually two out of two times on these trips. In one—Lake Tahoe—getting shot, if you will. Anger is being hurled at me because the person doesn’t want to shift or change, thinking I’m the evil one, I’m the mean one, when I’m in that high state, and then here in Crestone. It happened with people who are incredibly beautiful and light and on their path. So it happens to the best of us.
MARK: Do you feel like the main connection was made when we were up on the rock, instead of at the overlook or by the stream?
CAROL: Yes, yes. The stream—I was not being instructed to put everyone in a collective configuration. I was instructed to—I thought my instruction was to put each person individually in the circle, and I thought, “Well, that’s strange.” And that’s when I thought, “Well, individually, there can be two people facing each other as a witness.” And then I was shown the balance, the contrast, and the harmony between each pair of people. And that made sense.
MARK: So it’s interesting. We think we’re going for a very specific location or activation, and it actually happened before that time.
CAROL: Well, the time at the Circle [by the stream] was the individual's Yes or No. Some people just weren’t there, and that’s okay. I knew that I could see that because their energy—it’s interesting—their “No,” they were contracted, and their “Yes,” they were just very open and very loving and—
MARK: But up on the rock, it was more of 100% acceptance.
CAROL: Yes. And that was both individual and collective. There’s always that individual and collective piece to it. And when we were in the library sitting on the rock, that was the harmony. Each of those experiences that we were in—the fairy circle—the fairy circle was really calling forth the forces of nature to be of help and support at this time.
MARK: Well, that’s fascinating. All fascinating. So much interpretation.
CAROL: Do you have any questions on this? Because obviously you were there.
MARK: You really did answer my questions, because it had to do with the dynamic, the people that were kind of on the outside, who were thinking that you really kind of went down the wrong path. There’s a certain amount of receptivity, but there’s also this warrior nature that doesn’t want to give up the fight.
CAROL: Yeah. It’s both. You can’t say it’s one or the other; it is both.
MARK: Yeah. And it sounds like that faction kind of splintered the group a bit at the overlook/water the last day. But that’s okay, because if we actually made the major connection up there on the dragon rock, we did our work.
CAROL: Yes, yes. What the guides were looking for was the harmony.
