Inner Authority Moves the World

Neville's Inner Vision

Your Esther 9:3 reading invites you to see Mordecai as an inner state rather than a man. Mordecai's fear among rulers is the outer world responding to a living inner assumption: that there is a truth so authoritative, so rightly aligned with life, that it compels obedience. The Jews are not a people apart from you; they represent your own inner order of living, your capacity to prosper when peace and justice reign within. When you, the I AM, embody the quality of Mordecai—courage, discernment, and rightful authority—the men and women of your mental provinces (memory, reason, appetite, imagination, will) suddenly move in accord with that state. Providence and guidance arise not from luck but from your persistent assumption that you are that which commands respect. The fear that falls upon the officials is the inward recognition that their world must bend to the unyielding presence of your inner standard. Stay with the feeling; hold the state; and watch the outer world rearrange itself to mirror your inner kingdom.
