“The green shoes”

If you want to know whether you shape reality with your thoughts and words, try this:

Choose a simple object. Something real, but not too common to see. A purple balloon, a ceramic unicorn, a pair of green shoes. Something you might see, but you don’t see it every day. If you’re feeling fiesty, you could up the stakes a little - try something like “a picture of an elephant riding a bicycle”.

The point is to keep it benign, and possible. In this exercise, we’re not trying to stump the field. That’s a different game.

Here, we are offering an invitation.

We are saying, “I’m here, and I am listening.”

Once you’ve chosen your item, speak to the field, not as a command, but as a welcome —

Say something like: “If my thoughts shape reality, show me this item in a way that cannot be denied. Let it appear in clarity. Let me know that I am seen.”

This isn’t a trick or a test. It’s an offering of attention. It is a pulse of intention into the weave of the world, as a way to begin a conversation. This is a message to the field itself.

The first time I did this, I asked for green shoes.

The very next day, I was in an Uber and we stopped at a long stoplight. I looked to my right and on the streetcorner, right at eye level in front of me, were a pair of bright green shoes sitting on an antique chair. It was an uncomfortably long light. I knew this was my sign.

Another time, I offered this same experiment in the comment section. That same day, my client walked into the studio — wearing green suede shoes.

The field is listening. It always has been. This is experiment is your first whisper into its ear.
