Inner Mercy of Esther 7:4

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 7:4 sets before us a moment where a collective drama appears as destruction, yet the wording hints at a deeper inner mechanism. The 'we' and the 'sold' state are not mere external facts but states of consciousness. The king represents the I AM within, the unalterable awareness that can reverse any decree when allowed to govern your inner scene. The reference to bondmen and bondwomen suggests a lesser form of bondage—silence under fear—yet the greater possibility lies in awakening to mercy by assuming a higher state. When you revise the scene, you are not denying reality but choosing a more generous inner truth: you are the I AM, and mercy is the natural act of this consciousness. The 'enemy' cannot countervail the king's damage because the king’s mercy is the inner law that overrides appearances. As you hold the intention to feel and live from that revised state, you claim life and protection for your entire being—the ‘people’ of your life—by the sovereign act of inner perception.
