Esther 5:13 Inner Gate Obsession

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville’s psychology, Esther’s scene is a symbol of a state of consciousness. Mordecai at the gate represents a stubborn belief that some outer circumstance must change me before I am complete. The verse says that all these things availed me nothing while that belief remains, so fulfillment lies not in wealth or status but in a shift of inner identification. The Presence of God is the I AM within, always whole; to reinterpret is to revise the scene until the gate no longer blocks the heart. Practice the assumption: I am the I AM, and nothing outside can alter this inner peace. When you dwell as that awareness, you notice the gate dissolve into a doorway and the need to prove yourself vanishes, replaced by gratitude for the unity of life. Mordecai is not a man but a belief about separation; when you refuse to identify with it, you awaken to the truth that you are always perceiving from the I AM. Thus the attempt to secure position fails, and you rest in the timeless presence.
