Scripture Focus

9Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

10And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus' name, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:

Esther 8:9-10

Biblical Context

Esther 8:9-10 shows the king’s scribes writing a royal edict, sealed with the royal ring, and sent across 127 provinces to the Jews in their languages.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the outer scene as an inner process. The king’s scribes are not merely clerks; they are the faithful thoughts within you that translate your inner decree into the world you inhabit. Mordecai’s command becomes, in your consciousness, a definite self-image you have chosen for the Jews within your inner empire—the parts of you you once believed scattered across many languages and provinces. The 127 provinces symbolize all the facets of your life—habits, beliefs, emotions—each requiring its rightful place under one authorizing decree. Writing in the king’s name and sealing it with the royal ring is your act of identifying with a higher I AM, your unconditioned awareness that stamps reality with authority. The letters sent by posts on horseback and mules are the swift movements of imagination through memory, feeling, and attention, carrying the state to every department of your inner world. When you revise or assume, you are not conjuring a distant wish but issuing a decree that your life is now governed by the state you choose and feel. Your present reality is the record of inner decisions given form by imagination.

Practice This Now

Assume a state now: imagine you have written and sealed it in the king's ring, and send it to every province of your mind. Feel it as real, and let the inner world rearrange itself to mirror that decree.
