Neville Goddard on Esther 6:8-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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 6:8-11

Biblical Context

King Ahasuerus arranges royal garments, a horse, and the crown to honor the man the king delights to honor. Mordecai is led through the streets in this regal procession and proclaimed as the honored one.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene the king is your I AM, the royal apparel your beliefs about yourself, the horse your thoughts in motion, and the crown your sense of dignity. The man the king delights to honor is the inner self that has awakened to its worth through the awareness that God is within. Honor here is not earned from without but disclosed from within as you align your inner state with the truth of your unity with the divine Presence. When you imagine Mordecai as the honored one, you are really honoring a virtue in yourself that has waited to be acknowledged. Practice the simple ascent: assume the feeling of being the beloved of the king, see the crown upon your head, hear the streets proclaim your value, and let the inner ceremony rewrite your sense of self. As you dwell in that realization, your outer world can follow the ordered motion of your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state of the man the king delights to honor. Visualize royal garments, a crown, and a public proclamation of your worth, then feel that honor as present reality.
