Neville Goddard on Esther 3:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 3 in context

Scripture Focus

5And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.

6And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

Esther 3:5-6

Biblical Context

Haman's fury at Mordecai's refusal to bow leads him to plot the destruction of all Jews in the empire. The outer cruelty mirrors an inner state of fear and control, showing how a private grievance can become a universal judgment when consciousness identifies with separation.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Esther 3:5-6, the scene of wrath is not merely a political plot but a mirror of your own consciousness. Haman embodies the voice of fear that would annihilate anything that seems to threaten the sense of separate self. The Jews are your sacred ideas, your inner virtues that fear might erase; the kingdom of Ahasuerus stands for the field of awareness in which you live. When Mordecai's refusal to bow seems to threaten Haman, the 'people' are the collective beliefs you identify as other than you, and the drive to destroy them is your attempt to control what you think is at risk. Neville would remind you that the outer drama is only the content of a state of mind. To transmute it, you must reverse the scene by assuming the end: you are the I AM who sees, preserves, and rules over all within. The mind that imagines itself as under siege is the same mind that can dissolve danger by recognizing its unity with God. By living from the inner witness—feeling your I AM as the power behind all king and people—you restore justice and light in your kingdom.

Practice This Now

Assume the end now: I AM the power that safeguards every part of my being; revise the scene by declaring In me there is no destruction—only the unity of my kingdom.
