Neville Goddard on Daniel 10:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 10 in context

Scripture Focus

11And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.

12Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.

Daniel 10:11-12

Biblical Context

Daniel is told he is greatly beloved and to understand the words spoken, standing upright. Because he set his heart to understand and to chasten himself before God, his words were heard and a messenger was sent.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel stands as the inner man beloved by the I AM. The words spoken by the messenger are the truth your consciousness awakens to when you align with God within. To stand upright is to assume steadiness of mind, not fear. The line about the first day shows that once you commit to understanding and to humbling yourself before God, your spoken intents are already heard; the messenger comes as the inner answer emerging into awareness. The fear not is the switch from trembling to trust, the moment you hold the conviction that you are heard now. In Neville’s method, the situation precedes its showing: by maintaining the assumed state of being beloved and heard, you become the very state that brings about its fulfillment. Therefore, turn inward, dwell in the I AM, and imagine the outcome as already realized. Your life then aligns with your internal affirmation, and the divine response appears as presence you can touch.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In a quiet moment, declare, 'I am beloved by the I AM; my words are heard today,' and steady the feeling of that truth until it feels real, then imagine the answer already given in your life.
