Esther Inner Dialogue

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther is not a person in a palace, but a state of consciousness aware of a troubling event within the self. The news about Mordecai’s sackcloth is the alarm of a belief clinging to grief, a feeling-state demanding expression. Esther’s impulse to clothe Mordecai outwardly is the attempt of the old self to beautify or cover loss, to maintain a pleasing surface while the inner movement of change remains unmoved. Mordecai’s refusal to wear the garment signals that the inner movement will not be forced by appearances; the soul will not be clothed into a new state by mere external shows. The call of Esther for Hatach—the intermediary—represents the inner mechanism by which you inquire within: What is the real motive behind this suffering? What belief, what desire, is seeking light? Through Hatach you receive the motive, not as punishment but as entrance into a profound shift. The pageant of fear yields to discernment when you listen to the inner movement and align it with the I AM, the eternal awareness that does the clothing of the conditions into the truth you choose.
