Casting Pur, Casting Mind

Esther 3:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Esther 3 in context

Scripture Focus

7In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
8And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.
9If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.
Esther 3:7-9

Biblical Context

In Esther 3:7-9, they cast a lot to fix a day for destruction, and Haman persuades the king to annihilate a distinct people, offering silver to fund the plan. It frames obedience to a feared decree over justice.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s tongue, the casting of Pur is not a prophecy in time but a mental habit, a forecast etched into the inner calendar. The king represents your present state of awareness; Haman is a belief that certain thoughts cannot belong to your ruling mind. The claim that this people are diverse and will not keep the king's laws mirrors the inner accusation that some thoughts threaten your order and must be controlled or expelled. The offer to destroy and the payment of silver symbolize the price you pay to sustain a fearful scenario in your imagination—a fear that powers external consequences and drives your sense of self into a corner. The remedy is not found in external acts, but in revising the underlying assumption: the I AM is king, and all aspects of consciousness are governed by divine law. You can revoke the decree by affirming that there is only one law in you, one life, one unity; cast a new lot that aligns every part of mind with that decree. When you accept that you issue the decree, the old plot dissolves and the mind steadies into wholeness.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM is king over every part of your mind; revise the 'destruction' decree to a decree of wholeness, and feel the reality of unity as if it already is.
