Esther 6:5-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Esther 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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?
7And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
8Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
9And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
10Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
11Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
Esther 6:5-11

Biblical Context

The king asks how to honor the man he delights to honor; Haman assumes it is himself, but Mordecai is the one actually honored, revealing a reversal of fortune.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your life is a stage upon which the inner state of consciousness performs. Haman's pride - believing honor comes from his own schemes - unfolds as a careful self-exaltation. When the king asks what should be done to the man he delights to honor, the script reveals the limitation of that old self. But the answer comes for Mordecai, a representative of virtue suddenly placed in public view. This reversal is not a trick of plot but a demonstration of how imagining oneself as honored shifts the entire field. The I AM within you, the king in you, is measuring the states you entertain. If you cling to self-praise, you set up an outer scene that mirrors that craving; if you instead assume you are already honored for your true qualities, the world announces it by honoring the right inner image - Mordecai in Esther's court becomes your own inner nobility awakened. Thus the law of consciousness works: you cannot exalt self and not move the world, yet when you align with the true worth within, the outer becomes a procession of your inner triumph.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, assume you are already honored now. Feel the inner crown of worth and visualize honoring another’s virtue, then notice your world respond.
