Inner Night of Honor Revealed

Esther 6:1-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Esther 6 in context

Scripture Focus

1On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
2And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
3And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
4And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
Esther 6:1-6

Biblical Context

The king cannot sleep; records reveal Mordecai's loyalty, which has not yet been honored, as Haman plots to hang Mordecai. The inner drama awakens the question of true recognition.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 6:1-6 is a drama played in the theater of consciousness where I AM presides. The king’s sleepless night is the awakening of awareness that will not rest until it reads the records of my inner life. The chronicle that Mordecai warned of danger is the memory within me of virtue performed in secret, the acts that deserve honor yet have gone unacknowledged by my surface mind. When the king asks what honor has been done for Mordecai, I feel the drift of neglect in my outward self, as if nothing had been done. Then Haman enters, the ego in the outer court, assuming the reward is for himself. The king’s question—what shall be done for the man he delights to honor?—is my chance to see through pride. The plan unravels: the honor does not come from the ego, but from the inner king, the I AM, who remembers and rewards the righteous acts already done in me. Providence moves when I acknowledge Mordecai’s loyalty within, dissolving fear and pride. The inner court becomes a doorway where dignity and humility meet, and I am reminded that true honor flows from the greater Self, not from the self that seeks praise.

Practice This Now

Practice: Close your eyes and assume you have already been honored by your inner king. Feel the gratitude as if the records of your virtue are publicly read; revise any sense of lack by declaring, 'I am honored now.'
