Neville Goddard on Esther 1:21-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 1 in context

Scripture Focus

21And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:

22For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.

Esther 1:21-22

Biblical Context

Esther 1:21-22 describes a king’s decree that all provinces publish that every man should rule in his own house, in every language.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard reading, the king is your I AM, the central awareness that governs all thought. Memucan’s decree becomes the pattern of your inner life: an assumption that you, and you alone, rule your inner kingdom. The letters sent to all provinces and to every people in their language symbolize the reach of your inward state to every faculty—mind, emotion, imagination, memory, habit. To rule your own house is to claim sovereignty over thoughts and feelings from the center of awareness rather than being ruled by circumstance. The outer world will reflect this inner decree when the inner owner has affirmed it; you are not forcing, you are aligning with the natural order of your true self. Your inner voices and diverse desires are invited to speak in support of the same choice. The decree is pleasing because it confirms your higher self’s reality. By assuming this new state and feeling it real, you publish a new life across every aspect of consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: I am the king in my mind; every part of me now rules in its own house according to its language. Feel a settled sense of authority saturating your inner world.
