Inner Queen Defies Outer Command

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's lens, Vashti's refusal is not a battle in a Persian court but a moment of inner boundary setting. The king represents outward decree and the habit of bending to circumstance; Vashti stands for your deeper self, the I AM, which will not surrender its dignity to every command from without. When she says no, the inner monarch does not react with shame or fear; she simply asserts a sovereign perception inside, and the outer world responds as if nudged by that inner shift. The anger of the king is the ego's defense against the awareness that reality is a creation of belief. Yet the law of consciousness says that nothing external can alter your true state unless you identify with it. Your task is to practice the same: assume you are already the queen who does not bow to any decree that contradicts your inner truth. By imagining yourself free, you awaken the power that has always defined your life.
