Neville Goddard on Esther 4:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 4 in context

Scripture Focus

9And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

10Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;

11All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

Esther 4:9-11

Biblical Context

Mordecai's message reaches Esther. She informs him she has not been summoned to the king these thirty days, so entering uncalled would be deadly.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther stands at the inner court of your consciousness, where the king is the I AM. Mordecai's decree to intervene is your inner command to act, yet Esther's reply that she has not been called exposes a habit of fear: you can only move when you feel invited by the outer decree. In truth the outer law exists only as a picture within, and you can revise it with the certainty that the I AM is the source of all invitation. The moment you imagine the king extending the golden scepter toward you, you are affirming life: you are already accepted, already seen, already called. Your present sense of uncalledness dissolves when you claim as your own inner throne the belief that your desire is legitimate in the eyes of God within you. Practice by assuming the end: you are summoned; feel the warmth of the scepter; move forward in faith and watch outward events respond.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, and consciously assume you are called by the inner king. Stay with the feeling that the scepter is extended to you for your goal, and let that impression shape your next actions.
