Inner Obedience in Esther 2:20

Neville's Inner Vision

I am Esther—the inner self that dwells in my consciousness, not yet exposing its lineage to the outer world. Mordecai is the quiet law within me, the discipline and instruction my I AM accepted long before any outward scene. When Esther obeys him, as I was brought up with him, I sense a state of inner conditioning: I have been formed to move in harmony with a higher command. The outer revealing may wait, yet the inner function is complete: I follow the command of right discernment, not the fear-driven appetites of the ego. Providence is at work as my awareness nudges me to speak or refrain, while remaining faithful to the unseen order. My true identity is secured not by outward confession but by fidelity to the inner rule that raised me. The moment I treat that inner word as real, I enact a greater life, and the outer scene becomes a theater where congruence between inner law and outer appearance unfolds.
