Inner Honor in Esther

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene, the king is emblematic of your awareness, the I AM, asking, What shall be done to the man the king delights to honor? The voice of Haman within you is the ego, a prideful posture that assumes the world revolves around its own image. This inner dialogue exposes a single, decisive movement: the tendency to seek external praise as if it confirms your reality. The remedy in Neville’s register is not to deny honor, but to align with the true ruler—the I AM—who already honors you. When you hear the question, revise your stance: declare inwardly that you are the beloved of the king because the I AM has already shown you favor. Sit with that inner conviction until the feeling of being honored becomes your default state. Then the outward spectacle of praise loses its grip, for you have found the enduring source of worth within.
