Neville Goddard on Esther 6:9-12 - 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.

12And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.

Esther 6:9-12

Biblical Context

In Esther 6:9-12, the king orders Mordecai to be honored, and Haman must dress him and parade him through the city. The scene ends with Haman humiliated while Mordecai remains at the gate, signaling a swift inner reversal.

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 6:9-12 reveals a law of inner recognition. The man the king delights to honour is the state of consciousness you have invited into your heart. The apparel and the horse are the forms by which you clothe that state, and the march through the street is the public demonstration of your inner decision. Haman, mocked by the reversal, represents the old self—fear and pride—the ego clinging to control. Mordecai at the king's gate is the I AM in you, quiet, already honored by your higher self. When the king commands, do thus to Mordecai, you see your own energy redirected: the instrument meant for another becomes the instrument for your own good. The reversal is release: the outer scene mirrors the inner decree that you are beloved by the divine within. As you imagine and feel the honor accorded to Mordecai, feel that same honor now, here, as your own reality. The drama dissolves into grace, and your life begins to move in alignment with a royal self-identity.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state of being honored by the I AM. Revise your self-concept to 'I am the one the king delights to honor' and feel that image marching through your inner city.
