Inner Ten-Day Trial Of Faith

Neville's Inner Vision

Begin by seeing the ten days not as time passing, but as a shift of your inner state. The pulse represents the natural nourishment of the I AM—your true self—while the king's meat and wine symbolize identification with mere appearances and external authority. When you consent to a ten-day test of your own choice, you are not resisting something; you are consenting to assume a higher self, a state of health, clarity, and integrity. As you persist, your countenance—your sense of being—refocuses from fear and desire to calm assurance. The body responds to the mind that governs it; thus the body appears "fatter" in the sense of fullness and vitality, not by the plate, but by the presence of a harmonized consciousness. Daniel's victory is your victory when you refuse the external banquet and feed on the reality you know in your innermost self. Prove thy servants by the act of assuming the end already done, and you will see the inner and outer align.
