Neville Goddard on Esther 1:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 1 in context

Scripture Focus

3In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:

4When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days.

Esther 1:3-4

Biblical Context

Esther 1:3-4 describes a king hosting a grand feast to display the wealth and majesty of his realm to nobles and provinces. This outward pageantry mirrors the inner kingdom available to you in consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the king’s feast is your inner state made visible. The princes, nobles, and provinces are the aspects of you that respond to the mood you choose to entertain. The long display of riches signals how long you dwell in a richer sense of self, not how long a banquet lasts. The riches of the glorious kingdom are not coins but the energy, order, and majesty of awareness itself. When you imagine the scene, you are rehearsing the conviction that you are the ruler of your inner landscape. The honour of his majesty becomes the I AM's own majesty within you, independent of outer circumstance. The presence you glimpse in Esther's story is your own inner presence—the realization that wealth comes as a state of consciousness that grows as you persist in a new assumption. By choosing to accept this inner sovereignty now, you invite outward expressions as natural expressions of your inner state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and for a few breaths, assume the role of the I AM king. Feel the riches and majesty of your inner kingdom as already true; let the scene dwell until it feels natural.
