The Inner Turn Toward Self
Daniel 11:19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Daniel 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Daniel 11:19 presents a figure turning toward the fortifications of the ego, only to stumble and disappear from sight. It signals that clinging to external power or self-justified security cannot endure in the light of true awareness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture the 'he' as a state of consciousness just before a revision. He faces the fort built by insistence on separation, the fortified ego that believes it can stand alone against the seeming world. When he turns his face toward that fort, he is insisting on the old pattern, the belief that security lies outside the I AM. In that moment the inner movement falters—stumbles—and, as Daniel says, is not found. This 'not found' is not a punishment but a signal: the imagined fortress of self has no lasting substance in the light of awareness. The moment you realize that the fort is only a thoughtform, you may feel the collapse of image and the sudden recovery of unity with God, the I AM. The law operates as a revision: if you assume a new state of consciousness—namely that you are the I AM, that the fortress is within you and safe in divine presence—the fall is reversed. Your power returns as you align with the living consciousness that sustains all form.
Practice This Now
Assume right now that you are the I AM, feeling the unity with all life. Sit with that truth for a few minutes, and softly revise any image of a separate fort you guard, until the feeling of security comes from within.
