Neville Goddard on Esther 2:21-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 2 in context

Scripture Focus

21In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.

22And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai's name.

23And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.

Esther 2:21-23

Biblical Context

Mordecai overhears a plot against the king at the gate, informs Esther, who relays it to the king. The inquiry reveals the truth and those who plotted are executed; the event is recorded in the royal chronicles.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the outer story reveals a deeper inner law: when an inner alertness stands at the gate of your day, hidden thoughts are exposed by the light of awareness. Mordecai is your vigilant I AM witness at the gate; Bigthan and Teresh are fears and compulsions trying to seize control. They exist only so long as you entertain them in secret. Esther—your higher self—carries the news to the King; when the inquiry is made, truth surfaces and the plot is dissolved. The two would-be assassins are not punished by force but revealed and removed from authority in your life’s records, and the Chronicles become a new memory written by your awakened I AM. Providence here is not a distant event but a practice of consciousness: you observe, acknowledge, and release what endangers your peace; you reorder your inner court so that justice is written into your reality. The moment you permit this inner judgment, the outer world reflects a corrected line of fate, guided by awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, assume Mordecai at the gate of your mind and declare, 'I see and dissolve the plot against my life today.' Then let Esther, your higher self, deliver the truth to the King; feel the relief as the matter is recorded as a just chronicle in your inner book.
