Neville Goddard on Daniel 10:20-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 10 in context

Scripture Focus

20Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.

21But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.

Daniel 10:20-21

Biblical Context

An angelic messenger signals an ongoing inner conflict: there are powers behind our thoughts, and Michael, your prince, stands with you as the unyielding ally who finally reveals the truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel 10:20-21 is not a history lesson but a scene from your inner theater. The angel comes to remind you that a shift in consciousness is already underway, a battle with the habitual powers—your own Persia and Grecia—that have claimed the mind. The line, 'there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince,' names the part of you that remains aligned with the I AM, the inner guard and higher self that never abandons your progress. The 'scripture of truth' is the unchanging fact that you are the I AM, and these inner movements are events within your awareness to be revised. By assuming Michael is with you, by embracing that inner ally, you cause the outer story to bend to your present consciousness. Practice this as your daily alignment: declare that Michael governs your thoughts, and feel the truth of it now as you move from fear into realized power.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, sit and declare, 'I AM Michael, the prince of my life,' and feel the inner guard rising. Breathe and let the inner 'princes' dissolve as your awareness holds steady.
