Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 4:17 reads as an inner drama. Esther represents a higher state of awareness within you; Mordecai is the steadfast habit of faithfulness that accepts and acts on that inner impulse. When you hear a call from your inner Esther, your attention shifts from surface thinking to the I AM that already knows the outcome. Obedience here is not servile submission to a person, but alignment of outer behavior with the inner command you have already accepted in feeling. The moment Mordecai goes his way and acts according to all Esther commanded him, you witness the mind becoming action, the imagined state becoming actualized. Your command may come as quiet guidance, a certainty that there is a right move, a move reflecting trust rather than doubt. By embracing that inner directive and acting, you seal the impression in your consciousness, and the outer scene follows suit. This is the practice of revision and feeling it real: assume you have already obeyed, and let your present moment reflect that inner decision.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In a present moment, recall a decision you face and picture Mordecai as the reliable habit that obeys your inner Esther. Revise your plan to align with that inner command, and feel it real by repeating I am guided and I act now as your mantra.
