Inner Ten-Day Diet Test

Daniel 1:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Daniel 1 in context

Scripture Focus

12Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
Daniel 1:12

Biblical Context

Daniel requests a ten-day trial, giving the servants pulse and water to test their obedience and integrity. It points to an inner discipline where nourishment is chosen by faith rather than ordinary convenience.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel presents a perception of a diet as a boundary for the inner man. The phrase 'prove thy servants' becomes a ritual for testing a new state of consciousness. The ten days marks a definite period in which you hold a new assumption and watch your inner appetite respond. Pulse and water symbolize the simplest, most alive nourishment for the mind: thoughts and truths that sustain integrity and quench fear. When you align with this inner diet, you are not seeking to please an external ruler but to confirm, in the I AM presence, that a higher nourishment is already available. Obedience and faithfulness are inner choices, not external performances: you revise every contrary assumption until it matches the consciousness you desire. With disciplined imagination you cultivate discernment—the inner faculty that distinguishes the thought that feeds your life from that which starves it. The result is a clarified inner appetite and a life that reflects the nourishment of truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginatively set a ten-day window and declare: I am nourished by pulse and water—the pure nourishment of truth. For ten days, hold this state, revise any thought that contradicts it, and feel the change as real.
