Esther's Inner Petition

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther is the living state of consciousness speaking to the King within. The threat of destruction is a mental picture; the remedy is not external alliance but a revision of the inner state: speaking life into the self and others through the I AM. When Esther says, 'let my life be given me at my petition,' she embodies the power of imagination to command conditions. The king's favorable answer represents the alignment of outer circumstances with the inner conviction that you are not condemned but preserved by the divine Providence. The 'we are sold' shows a belief in doom; the line 'if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue' reveals a compromise to the outer order that would have left the inner life unspoken. But the moment you state your life and request your people, you awaken liberation; intercession becomes self-delivery. By trusting the I AM—the sovereign self—you transcend fear and invite deliverance, mercy, and guidance into your daily world.
