Inner Wisdom Triumphs Within
Daniel 1:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Daniel 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Daniel and his companions display superior wisdom and understanding, surpassing all the king's magicians and astrologers. This shows the power of faithful discernment under worldly scrutiny.
Neville's Inner Vision
Daniel and his companions are not standing against magicians and astrologers as mere men, but as embodiments of the inner I AM who knows truths beyond appearances. The king’s inquiry represents the test of your outer consciousness, asking for wisdom and understanding. Yet the true answer already resides in your inner state; Daniel’s tenfold superiority emerges when your being makes room for the divine notion that you are the source of wisdom, not the external cleverness of the world. When you accept that you are the I AM, you revise every calculation of lack and claim the fullness of discernment. The kingdom of God is not coming; it is within, and your imagination is the bridge between your current appearances and your true inner reality. By dwelling in the feeling that you are wise and faithful, your choices align with that inner light, and external judgments bow to your inner truth. The verse invites you to abandon striving against appearances and to insist on your inner wisdom as the governing fact of your life.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and declare, 'I AM wisdom now.' Keep the feeling of being the wise one for a minute, revising any doubt as you dwell in that inner state.
