Inner Edict of Self-Dominion

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard's lens, Esther 1:22 becomes a map of the inner kingdom, not an imperial policy. The king is your I AM, the aware center that speaks and sets order in the mind. The letters carried to all provinces are the habits, beliefs, and feelings that travel through every scene of consciousness. The command that every man should bear rule in his own house is the inner law of self-government: you govern your thoughts and passions instead of being governed by them. The clause that this decree should be published according to the language of every people shows that your inner voice must reach every facet of consciousness, translating its message so that fear, memory, desire, and imagination all hear the same order in a language they understand. When you consciously publish the decree to your entire mind, you establish a unified sense of self-governance. The act of enforcing this law is a revision of your self-image, a feeling-it-real acknowledgment that you are the commander of your inner realm. Thus the outer world aligns to your inner version of your kingdom, as soon as you accept and feel it as true.
