This happened about 15 years ago, when I could still wear heels that were over one inch in height. I had gone shopping at a second hand store, and contrary to my usual preference, I was tempted by a pair of genuine, black leather half boots with one and one half inch heels. I knew that they would look good with my jeans, so I bought them, along with a used purse. I usually only buy used clothing or household articles because of being sensitive to the energies of former owners. I know that I can wash clothing and check for lingering vibes, and with furniture and other things one good Sage session, and they are fine. I never, ever like wearing used shoes or using a formerly owned pocketbook. The fact that I had purchased both was strange.
So, I decided to wear the "new" boots and carry the purse. I set out to run some errands, and while standing at a bus stop, noticed two homeless guys staring at me. Then one of them started making suggestive comments. Normally I would have ignored them, or if it continued, I would merely have moved on to the next bus stop to wait. But this time, I began to hurl insults at them. It was as if I were someone else. One of the guys backed down and cautioned the other to let me alone because he could see that I was furious. But the other man continued to make comments and when I turned and fully faced him, he looked frightened, and hastily mumbled an apology. My bus arrived at that moment and I am not sure what would have happened next. I felt very different; as if I were used to being aggressive and arrogant. I rode the bus to the store and when I got into line to pay for my groceries, I got into an argument with the cashier, and was very rude and insulting. By the time I got home I was feeling suspicious of my newly acquired items, and decided to get rid of them. Since I wasn't sure if it was the boots or the purse, I put them both into the garbage. The minute I did that, I felt a cool, calm sweep through me, as if I had ousted some angry spirit from my body.
I mentioned Twilight Zone because I am sure many of you have seen the episode titled "Dead Man's Shoes."
