Neville Goddard on Esther 6:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Esther 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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 6:9-11

Biblical Context

The king orders royal apparel and a horse to honor the man he delights in, and Mordecai is led through the city with a proclamation of honor.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 6:9-11 becomes for us a vivid allegory of consciousness in action. The king’s command to clothe and exalt the man he delights to honour is not about Mordecai alone; it is the I AM declaring what your awareness will wear in the world. The apparel and horse symbolize states of mind—dignity, courage, approval—that you place on your own inner self and allow to ride through the street of your life. The proclamation, “Thus shall it be done to the man,” is the law of assumption: when you affirm a state, you invite its expression in form. Mordecai, sitting at the king's gate, represents the part of you that is upright, faithful to truth, and ready to be publicly recognized. The reversal—Haman acting on behalf of the king—shows that your outer world can be rearranged by the simple act of honoring the truth within you, even if appearances to the contrary persist. So, the inner king, not external favor, creates the procession. Embrace the crown in imagination, and let your days prove the reality of your inward honor.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner king's honor now; visualize the royal apparel and horse on your life's street, and feel the crown already yours. Do this for a few minutes, until the feeling of being honored saturates your day.
