Inner Access to the King Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther’s movement from the second house to the king’s presence is a parable of consciousness. The evening visit marks a quiet moment when attention shifts from the restless thoughts in the lower house of memory to the royal center of awareness—the I Am. The next morning’s return represents the steady state of mind that aligns with the mood and favor of your inner king. In Neville’s terms, access to power is not an external privilege but a state you enter by the imagination you sustain. The king’s delight and his calling her by name symbolize the moment your inner self recognizes you—an inner sense of worth, self-respect, and alignment that makes your request acceptable to your higher self. The conditions are not punishment; they are the discipline of becoming your own king through grace and the reclamation of dignity (Imago Dei). When you dwell inwardly in the feeling that you are seen, named, and granted access, you stand in the presence of God, and the world rearranges to reflect that inner honor.
