Inner Crown of Esther 6:7-9

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 6:7-9 offers a vivid image of an inner coronation. The king's delight to honor a man appears not as an event in time but as a state of consciousness you learn to dwell in. The garments and crown and the royal horse represent the beliefs, feelings, and momentum you clothe yourself with when you affirm, I am the one whom God delights to honor. As you imagine the parade—being led through the streets, the crowd proclaiming your honor—you are not staging vanity; you are rehearsing your true identity as awareness experiencing itself as form. The street becomes the present moment; the announcer's cry becomes your active feeling of worth, your sense of being loved by the very I AM that animates you. The key is not to seek honor from without but to enter into the inner procession and feel the reality of royal favor now. When you assume this crown in imagination, you align your inner state with the outer world, and events in your life follow suit as headlines follow a story already written in consciousness.
