Esther's Inner Royal Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 5:1 invites us to realize that the outer event mirrors our inner condition. In Neville's method, the king's throne is the I AM, the central awareness that rules every scene. Esther's royal apparel is not fabric but the dignified feeling of being worthy of authority. The inner court represents a state of consciousness where opposites meet—our desire (the king or the gate) and the divine from within. When Esther stands in the inner court, she is not seeking permission; she is assuming the authority already hers in imagination. The third day marks an inner alignment after preparation: a shift from wish to settled certainty. We do not move toward power; we awaken to the power we already are. As she faces the throne, she imagines God-ordained rulership and moves in harmony with it. The scene is about the inner consent that makes outward events possible. The practical result is a renewal of self-conception: to see yourself as the 'royal' self who commands conditions by inner decree.
