Neville Goddard on Esther 5:10-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 5 in context

Scripture Focus

10Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

11And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

Esther 5:10-11

Biblical Context

Haman returns home, gathers his friends and Zeresh, and boasts about his riches, the multitude of his children, and how the king had promoted him above the princes and servants.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 5:10-11 invites us to notice that the ego’s loudest boast is a curtain for an inner insecurity. Haman’s parade of riches, offspring, and royal favor is not a celebration of reality but a confession of a mind invested in image. In Neville’s lens, the king’s promotion and the line of princes are inner positions of consciousness. When Haman says, 'I have advanced above the princes,' he reveals the act of identification: 'I am my riches, I am my rank; therefore I am safe.' The moment you believe your value arises from outward tokens, you have surrendered your true power to a shadow. Neville would have you revise this script, not by denying wealth or status, but by reassigning the source of worth to the I AM that dwells within—your true, unalterable self. Your awareness is the bank; your imagination is the how; your feelings confirm what you accept as real. So, in present tense, you declare that you are the I AM, beyond title or promotion, and the world lines up to reflect the already given sense of worth. The outward display will follow as the echo of the inward consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and feel the I AM within affirming, I am the I AM, not my wealth or rank. Then revise the scene by speaking inwardly: wealth and promotion do not define me; I define the worth I live by.
