Inner Decree by the King

Neville's Inner Vision

Esther 8:10 shows a royal command issued in the king's name and sealed with the ring, sent forth by many messengers. In Neville's psychology, this is your inner I AM issuing a decree from the throne of awareness. The king stands for your higher self; the ring stands for unshakeable belief that you are the cause of your life. The messengers—horseback, mules, camels and dromedaries—mirror the speed and variety of your faculties: memory, imagination, will, inner speech—all carrying the command to every province of your mind. When you study this passage as a practice, you are learning to write in the king's name, seal with the ring, and dispatch a decree into your whole consciousness. Do not look to outer authorities; look to the I AM within and declare, in the present tense, that a situation now conforms to your inner decree. The moment this inner act is performed with conviction, the outer circumstances begin the turnaround, in exact proportion to your feeling of it as real.
