The Inner King and Tax of Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 10:1 becomes a map of your inner sovereignty. Ahasuerus represents the I AM within, the living decision that speaks with final say over every field of awareness—the land and the isles of the sea. The tribute he lays is not wealth taken from others, but boundary and order imposed by a decisive state of consciousness. When you read this as Neville would, you hear that your life is the stage where your inner king enforces law: attention redirected, thoughts aligned, and feeling-tones settled into stability. The entire kingdom—each thought, memory, and sensation—bows to the decree of inner allegiance. The act of laying tribute shows you that you can insist on a closed, well-governed state of mind, from which actions, relationships, and circumstances unfold in harmony. The verse invites you to recognize that your present condition reflects the level at which you allow your imagination to rule; therefore, cultivate a clear, grateful acceptance of your desired state as already established in consciousness.
