Esther's Inner Banquet Strategy

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther’s reply is not a mere social maneuver; it is inner consent. The king represents the ruling thought in you, the decision you affirm as good. Haman stands for the stray impulse that would derail it. By saying, 'let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet,' Esther does not demand control but aligns her inner state with a favorable possibility already present in consciousness. In Neville terms, she imagines the scene and accepts it as done by the I AM within. The banquet becomes a symbol of communion with your higher self, a table where every facet of your mind is invited to agreement. The phrase 'If it seem good unto the king' is the doorway to the inner kingdom: you suspend outer opinion long enough for a deeper insight to enter. When you dwell in that assurance—feeling the wish as already real, addressing the major players as parts of your own mind, and inviting the guidance to unfold—you awaken providence. The outer events then bend to the clarity of consciousness that has chosen good, guiding you toward the outcome your inner life has already prepared.
