Casting the Inner Lot
Esther 3:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Esther 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Esther 3:7 describes Haman and the court casting Pur, the lot, from day to day toward the twelfth month to fix a deadly decree. It dramatizes how a future can be shaped by repeated ritual of prediction and fear.
Neville's Inner Vision
Esther 3:7 is a map of the soul where the 'lot' is not a coin tossed by chance but a symbol of the decision your I AM makes in a moment of waking awareness. The Pur becomes the mental habit of fixing a future outcome through steady, recurring thought, moving from day to day toward a demanded date. Haman embodies the fear states and the old instincts of separation that would decree your fate; the king within you—the I AM sovereign—remains intact even as these thoughts run their course. The drama unfolds inside your consciousness, and the 'twelfth month' appears not by external fate but by inner alignment: when you refuse to identify with fear and affirm that your desired end is already established in consciousness, time itself seems to tilt toward manifestation. Providence and guidance arise as you choose trust over dread; the Kingdom of God becomes a lived reality when your awareness settles on a new inner date. You are the author of the day, and your life follows the inner state you prove with steady attention to what you intend.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, assume the end you desire is already true. See the inner date fixed and feel the relief as if it is now.
