Esther 9:25

Biblical Context

Esther appears before the king, and his decree turns Haman's plot against the Jews back onto him, leading to his downfall.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville perspective, Esther 9:25 is a script for the reforming of your inner state. Esther, the state of awareness that can approach the king - the I AM - speaks the word that turns the doom of Haman back on its author. The 'wicked device' is any fear, grievance, or false image you have projected against others or against life. When you, in awareness, consent to the reversal, that belief is compelled to alter its own course and return to its source. The king's letters symbolize the vibrational decree you issue when you assume a state and live from it; the result is that the perceived danger loses power and its organizer is exposed. The Jews represent your living truth - what you intend to protect and sustain by alignment with God within. The gallows are the old pattern of judgment that dissolves when the mind holds that the reversal is already done. In short, the pageant demonstrates the law of belief: image, feeling, and assumption create the next moment, and a firm assumption dissolves the apparent calamity before it manifests outwardly.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and picture yourself as Esther before the king. Declare the reversal as already accomplished and feel the relief spreading through your entire being.
