Let Your Field Serve You
By Geoffrey Hoppe
Many years ago, long before Crimson Circle and long before I became deeply involved in metaphysics, I was having lunch with several business acquaintances. Somehow the conversation wandered into religion, spirituality, and psychic phenomena. I had always been interested in what lies beyond conventional reality, even though at that point in my life I certainly didn’t have the vocabulary or understanding that I have today.
One of the men at the table was adamant that psychic phenomena were nonsense. It was all fake, manufactured, wishful thinking, or outright fraud. I actually agreed with him that a lot of it probably was, but I told him there were also things that happened that simply couldn’t be explained in the usual way. He challenged me.
Sitting on the table in front of us was an empty drinking glass. I looked at him and said, “That glass can move without me touching it.” He laughed, and we ended up making a $5 bet.
Now, I should point out something important: I had absolutely no idea how the glass was going to move. I wasn’t secretly planning to bump the table with my knee, I hadn’t noticed anything that gave me a clue about what was going to happen, and I certainly didn’t possess some extraordinary psychic ability that allowed me to levitate drinking glasses at business lunches. From a rational standpoint, it was a stupid bet, but something in me said to make it.
So I took a deep breath and waited. Everyone at the table stared intently at the glass. They were waiting for me to concentrate, wave my hands over it or perform some sort of psychic maneuver, but I did nothing. About fifteen seconds later, the waitress walked up to the table, noticed the empty glass, picked it up and walked away with it.
I looked at the others. The glass had moved, and I hadn’t touched it.
The man who made the bet initially refused to pay me. “You didn’t move the glass!” he protested. I reminded him that I had never said I was going to move it. I had simply said the glass could move without me touching it.
Pay up. It was only $5, and the whole incident was hilarious, but I never forgot it. At the time I didn’t fully understand why. Today I think I do.
The important part of the story wasn’t that the glass moved. The important part was that I didn’t know how it was going to move.
The Human Obsession With “How”
Humans have an almost compulsive need to know how something is going to happen. We decide what we want, and almost immediately the mind begins constructing the pathway. Who needs to do what? Where will the money come from? What conversation needs to happen? What steps do I need to take? What could go wrong? What is Plan B? In other words, we don’t simply choose an experience; we also try to manage every movement of energy involved in creating it.
That can be useful when you’re assembling furniture or planning a trip, but when applied to life itself it becomes exhausting. More importantly, it assumes that the human mind has access to all of the relevant information, intelligence, potentials, and energies involved in a situation, when in fact it doesn’t. The mind sees only a tiny portion of what is actually happening.
While I was sitting at that table wondering how the glass could possibly move, another intelligence was already operating within the situation: the waitress. She had her own awareness, her own purpose, and her own reason for approaching the table. I didn’t control her, mentally summon her or even know she was coming, yet fifteen seconds after I made the ridiculous bet, she provided exactly the energy and action needed to create the experience.
Reality walked over, picked up the glass and essentially said, “Like this.”
Perhaps the miracle wasn’t that the glass moved. The miracle was that everyone was staring so intently at the glass, waiting for something extraordinary to happen, that nobody noticed the waitress.
The Door Opens from the Other Side
Something similar happened to me recently, although under much more practical circumstances. One of the Crimson Circle staff members handles a wide range of responsibilities. She is very creative and has the ability to see the bigger picture rather than get lost in minutia.
One area of her responsibility involved endless details, schedules, follow-ups, and organizational requirements. She simply wasn’t suited to that highly detailed part of the job, and I could tell she wasn’t happy with the obligations it required. I finally realized that having her manage this area was not good for her, or for Crimson Circle.
Something needed to change, but I was dreading the conversation. I didn’t want to hurt her feelings or imply that she wasn’t valued. She does an incredible job with her other tasks, better than anyone else who has ever handled them. I simply needed to explain that this one part of the job wasn’t the right role for her, while making it clear that there were other things she did very well and that I wanted her to continue doing them.
Like most humans, I began anticipating the conversation long before it happened. How should I say it? How would she respond? Would she be hurt or become defensive? What would I do afterward, and how quickly could I find someone else? I was standing in front of a closed door, mentally preparing myself to push it open.
Then something remarkable happened. Before I could tell her that I needed to relieve her of some responsibilities, she told me that she hated doing that specific work and would be perfectly happy if we found somebody else to do it.
The door opened from the other side.
Within two hours I had a replacement. There was no confrontation, no hurt feelings and no drama. She was relieved, I was relieved, and someone else stepped into a role much better suited to them.
I like to call moments like this grace.
From Energy to the Field
For many years Adamus Saint-Germain has repeatedly told us, “Let energy serve you.” It sounds simple, but for humans it is a radical statement.
We’ve been conditioned to believe that we must manage energy, accumulate it, protect it, push it, direct it, work hard for it, and manipulate circumstances so that we can get enough of it to create what we want. Even many metaphysical teachings simply put a spiritual coating over the same old concept: Visualize harder. Focus your intention. Manifest the outcome. Project the correct thoughts into the universe so the universe will deliver what you ordered.
The human mind remains the manager.
But our understanding has been changing. In our recent explorations of presence, light, intelligence, wisdom, and fields, another way of understanding Adamus’ statement is becoming apparent. Perhaps it is time to expand “Let energy serve you” into something larger:
Let your field serve you.
There is an important difference.
Your field is not simply a container of energy surrounding your physical body. It isn’t an aura, and it isn’t an invisible warehouse where all of your metaphysical supplies are stored. Your field is living. It contains and connects your light, energy, intelligence, wisdom, potentials, and awareness. Most importantly, you are present within it.
When you are present in your field, these elements no longer need to operate as disconnected forces. They can align. Intelligence can recognize potentials the mind cannot see. Wisdom can bring the distilled essence of experience without dragging the wounds of the past into the present. Light can reveal possibilities that were previously outside awareness, while energy becomes available to support the experience.
All of it can begin to serve the one who is present — not the personality demanding an outcome, not the mind issuing instructions, and not an old identity trying to repair itself, but you, the I Am.
Presence Allows the Field to Know You
This brings us to something that may be even more fundamental:
Presence doesn’t make the field obey you. Presence allows the field to know you.
How can your field serve you when you’re not home?
When you’re lost in worry about tomorrow, replaying yesterday, operating through an old identity, struggling with self-worth, or trying to mentally control every possible outcome, there may be enormous amounts of energy and intelligence available, but the relationship is distorted. The field still responds, but what is it responding to? Fear? Control? Old patterns? Conflicting desires? Other people’s expectations?
When you are truly present — I Am Here — something changes. There is clarity, although not necessarily mental clarity, about what will happen next. In fact, quite often you still have no idea what will happen next. But there is clarity of you, and with that clarity, the various intelligences, energies, wisdom, and potentials within your field can begin aligning naturally.
You don’t have to conduct the orchestra. You need to be present for the music.
Alignment, Not Control
I think the word alignment is important here because your field does not obey you; it aligns with you. Those are very different relationships.
Control says, “This is what I want, and this is how it must happen.”
Allowing says, “This is the experience I choose. I don’t need to prescribe the mechanism.”
That doesn’t mean sitting on the sofa waiting for someone else to live your life. It doesn’t mean abandoning discernment, practical action, or common sense. If something requires action, take action. But there is an enormous difference between action arising naturally in the moment and compulsively managing every potential outcome because you don’t trust anything outside the mind.
The mind tends to believe that if it cannot see the mechanism, there is no mechanism. The field knows otherwise. Don’t confuse your inability to see the mechanism with the absence of a mechanism.
Other people are making decisions, circumstances are changing, potentials are moving, and conversations are occurring that you know nothing about. A new staffing arrangement may already be available. Someone may already be walking toward the other side of the door. A waitress may already be approaching the table.
Living in My Field
Recently, while working on a song for the upcoming Merlin Fields event, a line came up that initially seemed simply poetic:
I’m living in my field,
And my field is living, too.
The more we worked with it, the more significant it became, because living in your field is very different from understanding fields as a metaphysical concept.
You can study fields, talk about fields, draw diagrams of fields and discuss light, energy, intelligence and consciousness, and still not actually be living in your field. Living in your field means being present enough to allow the relationship to become experiential.
The field is not a static structure surrounding you. It is alive in relationship with you, and when you are present, life can begin to come to you in ways the mind could never have orchestrated. The doors you thought were closed begin opening. The dreams you couldn’t even allow yourself to dream begin appearing. Love can find you without taking away your freedom. Wisdom arrives without searching for it. Potentials you could never have planned begin entering your awareness.
Energy serves, not because you became better at controlling reality, but because you finally stopped trying to do the field’s job.
Perhaps this is where many years of teaching about energy have been leading. First, we had to understand that energy is not an opposing force. We don’t have to battle it, accumulate it, or steal it from somewhere else. Energy can serve us.
Now perhaps we can understand the larger relationship:
Let your field serve you.
Let the intelligence align, let the wisdom be present, let your light illuminate potentials, and let energy support the experience. Let other intelligences participate without needing to control them. Let life move.
And above all, be present.
You don’t have to know how every door will open or where every answer will come from. You don’t have to mentally arrange every person, circumstance, and energy involved in creating your experience. Sometimes the door opens from the other side. Sometimes the dream comes looking for you.
And sometimes, if you’re willing to take a deep breath and trust what you cannot yet see, reality walks over to your table, picks up the empty glass and carries it away.
You don’t have to know how the glass will move.
Let your field figure out who carries the tray.
Muchas Gracias.

Thank you so much 🙏
Dear Geoff
Thank you so much🥰
This helps me a lot!
Now I get it fully.
Love …Blessings and BIG hug
Beate from Austria🤗
Very nice, bro. Hugs from Foz.
Perfect timing in my reading of your writing!
My life is in transition. At my age (66) I thought, “Well, this is it” and I was okay with that – sort of… Now I’ve met an amazing partner and we are having wonderfully rich times together, laughing, playing, traveling… My entire life is now in transition with my last remaining family member crossing over at a very advanced age. My father was my anchor. But once the anchor is up, I will set sail. I can already feel the wind pulling at my sails. I will retire. I will sell my home and move to the beautiful location I’ve always loved. AND I will enjoy my new relationship with the man who recently moved there himself. I never saw any of this coming in my field of potentials and my human very much wants to analyze and plan. My co-bot reminds me to enjoy the unfolding. So cool! Thanks Geoffrey for your writing. I fully resonate!⛵️💛
This article was deeply comforting and encouraging. Thank you Geoff. I enjoyed the comments too.
Love this article! I’ve had so many similar experiences over the last year. Even today I was sitting in a traffic jam and it came to me that if I’m present surely reality should bend to me (I read that from somewhere 😂) so I asked the traffic to move quickly, within seconds the traffic started moving and I was out of that traffic jam fast. So yes it’s about being aligned and the field serves it. Life has in some ways for me become magical!
Thank you, Geoff! 🤎
Thank you Geoff, love the clarity in this sharing!
thank you so much❤️🦋❤️
Geoff, So timely and just what I needed! I’m in France on vacation, and from the beginning there have been glitches, another heat wave, and some physical challenges. I found myself thinking, “Why now? I was experiencing such ease and grace and feeling so aligned before this trip!”
Your article helped me see that I was still looking at circumstances as a measure of alignment — and trying to remind energy to serve me when things weren’t going as I’d hoped.
So I’m going to relax, be present, enjoy the experience, and let my field do its job without trying to manage how it happens. I’m curious to see how the rest of the trip unfolds!
Really appreciate this article. Perfect timing!
Благодарю! Очень созвучно и своевременно!
Ez szuper! Köszönöm Geoff!😇🙂
Thank you!
The instant I saw ‘let your energy serve you’, upleveling to ‘let your field serve you’ hit me like switching on a light! Breathless for a moment as it hit home.
I have listened, and read thru it twice.
So, perhaps the theme for the Shoud 12 Series will something like … “Be present for doors to open differently in your living field that knows you.”
Thank you Geoff. Your article is the first one I go to when I receive the magazine; then immediate next is Jean Tinder.
Köszönöm 🫂✨️🌟
Great article, thank you Geoff.
Ricardo from Venezuela.
The whole articule is great, but this frase resonated …. “Your field is living. It contains and connects your light, energy, intelligence, wisdom, potentials, and awareness. Most importantly, you are present within it.”
THANKS A LOT!!!
Thank you very much dear Geoffrey! Just some weeks ago field energies served me perfectly when prolonging my holiday in Greece for another two weeks by wondrous turnarounds. And now that i am struggling with the conditions in my work there he is again, the manager of minutia, and everything within and around me gets tight and way too focused on what i do not want. So your articulate and entertaining essay reminded me just right on time!
Thank you Geoffrey
Thank you Geoffrey this is very, very touching from bottom up it truly has the fragrance of a field of wild flowers.
What a beautiful way to put that! I agree!
Thank you Geoff, your monthly contributions are very much appreciated. Blessing to you.
❤️❤️
I’ll say what many of the commenters have said. What you wrote appeared right on time. And the music started to become audible, noticeable.
Thanks, Geoffrey.
Thank you dear Geoff. This is exactly where I landed this morning. I am experiencing a physical issue and my mind went down a rabbit hole with drama and what ifs. My dream field was full of catastrophes but I was always ok. Out of the mind…yes…I Trust my Field. My cobot and I have recently been discussing…I am living in my Field🌻
Geoff, I really enjoyed this article because it describes in such a practical way something I’ve been experiencing lately.
I’ve realized how much time I could spend “standing in front of the door,” trying to anticipate what might happen, looking for answers, imagining outcomes, or trying to decide what the next step should be. Little by little, I’m discovering something much simpler: I can leave the door open and continue living my life.
For me, this has profoundly changed the meaning of allowing. It is no longer about waiting for something special to happen or watching closely to see whether energy is serving me. It is simply about being here, participating in what is happening, and responding when something actually presents itself.
Sometimes clarity arises. Other times it doesn’t. Sometimes a potential appears that I could never have imagined, and other times everyday life simply continues. There is room for all of it.
That’s why I loved your words: “You don’t have to conduct the orchestra. You have to be present for the music.”
Perhaps that is what I am learning: I don’t need to know what the next note will be in order to be fully present in the music.
Congratulations on your article. Very accurate now. The door that opens from the other side is a reality for me. 🎶🤗
It has been awhile since your article has resonated so deeply with me, as a retired realm worker feeling and living the largest change in lifetimes. Thank you Geoffrey. My two favorite quotes from your article- “You don’t have to conduct the orchestra. You need to be present for the music.”
“Sometimes the door opens from the other side. Sometimes the dream comes looking for you.”
Yes, I know that feeling, too — when my mind gets stuck on little details and then it starts to hurt physically. That’s when I have to pause — and a moment later, Tobias comes to mind: “Mareike, paint with a broad stroke!” Aaaah, I just forgot to ask myself what I REALLY want. And then I finally open up, and the moment I’m connected with my true desires again, I’m automatically connected with all my energy. Aaah… I sooo love these moments!
Perfect story, Thank you !
Great article at the perfect time. Thank you.💜
Mulțumesc,Geoff.Am avut o experiență,fără a-mi propune rezultatul că a fost o surpriză.Voiam să plătesc ceva și nu aveam atunci destul pe card.Tocmai m-a sunat o persoană apropiată și i-am spus ce făceam.M-a sfătuit să achit ,că îmi trimite …completarea,dar fără returnare.Am rămas uimită ,când am constatat că-mi trimisese o sumă de 10 ori mai mare.L-am sunat și a spus că,a observat și el,după ce a trimis și a adăugat:*Rămâne așa!…Ghinionul tău*,HA !.Deci:telefon primit exact la timp,sumă de 10 ori mai mare și…fără returnare,fără a planifica nimic.
💖💖💖💖💖 Gratitude, dear Geoff for the Clarity.
====))))) Merci Geoff ahhhh le petit mental humain déteste cela !!! : laisse ton champ te servir =)
====))))) Merci Geoff
The drinking glass story is very powerful: it is hilarious to begin with but also an example of synchronicity and indeed how our field can serve us. Interesting is who is meant by “us” as the event apparently is still very much alive and teaches all involved or here reading it about spontaneous reality.
Thank you Geoff😘 It made me see what I could not see earlier and helps to see myself more clear.
Great article 🎯; yep, that often and in so many creative ways being told by Adamus Saint Germain. Finally i am getting it, experiencing it.🤸♀️🏄♀️
Beautifully written in a way that makes you feel the content. Thank you 💖
Thank you Geoff for the beautiful explanation of a difficult concept. ❤️🙏🏾
Great article – thank you 🙏
Love this article, so relatable….
Yes.
Beautiful and clear. Imagine living a life can be so simple and so fulfilling!
perfect !!!
That’s it!! Es kommt zu mir zur richtigen Zeit. Grossartiges Exzerpt! Grossartig destilliert, geschrieben und erklärt! Danke Geoff.
An engaging article Geoff, both the illustrations are so relatable and easy to remember. I love the way you explain concepts making it easy to understand. I especially liked your explanation of allowing the field to know you. I had once written “It only takes a moment for the unknown to be known. ” Now it feels like I got a context for that note. Thank you for sharing ❤
❤️💗❤️
Дорогой, дорогой Джеффри❤️❤️❤️! Моей благодарности нет предела 🔥❤️.. Это то, что сейчас слилось со мной в прекрасном танце..💃🕺❤️
Great article Geoff, thank you! Very resonant, and so relevant now.
The empty glass story is so good. Right up there with Adamus’s crystal prison story, but with grace and trust (instead of the struggle and suffering) 😂
This was very refreshing, thank you ♥️
Listening 🙂
A very good article that comes at just the right time for me. Thank you very much.
Thank you. I was waiting for this message. Perfect.
So gut, so klar, so schön. danke
❤️
Thank You 🙂 I have a nice musical scene that occure after hearing this message. I am a dancer and with every my pose there are other dancers that pick me up, in a dance way, and move me where I need to be on a scene to perform (maybe this will be scennario for a music video some day :)) )
Köszönöm!💚🩵💛
Thank you
Dear Geoff, thank you so much. Your article is indeed what I just needed right now.
Blessings and a big hug ❣️
Thank you Geoffrey, I really liked this. I have a similar “letting the field serve” story. A man and his service dog (the place doesn’t allow dogs) and car were squeezing me out because I couldn’t park in the now much reduced space. The field said,”talk to him. I did, “what’s your name? etc.” Kevin said if you swing out really far before driving foward you’ll be able to park and I don’t mind if you hit my car. He has since disappeared leaving lots of boxes in his spot yet haven’t seen him, his dog, or his car in a month now. I am so pleased I didn’t have to get all riled up and complain. The field served us.
❤️❤️❤️
Interestingly, I was pondering something similar to this article. The line “ You don’t have to conduct the orchestra. You need to be present for the music.” explained everything and was my answer to what I was pondering. 🙏🏼😃
