Banquet of Inner Kingship

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Esther story, the banquet is your inner communion, the scene where desire and possibility sit in one room with awareness. Esther represents the 'I AM'—the queen in you who neither doubts nor delays the coming good. The king and Haman are your outer authorities—habitual thoughts of lack or fear—present to challenge the moment, yet their presence only underscores the power of the inner state. When the king asks, 'What is thy petition?' he is the turn of attention inside you, the precise moment you choose to acknowledge that your aim belongs to you now. The proclamation that it shall be granted, and even to the half of the kingdom, declares the limitlessness of your inner rule; you do not petition from lack, you affirm the end already completed in imagination and feeling. The second day of the banquet teaches persistence: keep returning to the scene, keep wearing the crown of the I AM, keep feeling the royalty until it becomes your first impression of reality. In that mood, grace flows as a natural consequence of your awareness.
