Inner Decree, Wise Men
Daniel 2:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Daniel 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
An enraged king orders the death of all Babylon's wise men. Daniel and his companions are hunted down as the decree goes forth.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the text is not about a distant empire but about the drama playing in your own mind. The king represents a ruling belief that you are at the mercy of circumstance, and his anger and fury symbolize fear surging through you to erase what you deem wise. The decree to destroy the wise men is the inner voice that would wipe out your discernment, your intuition, your better judgment—the faculties Daniel embodies when he interprets dreams. To the outer mind, you seem cornered; to the inner self, this is a call to awaken. Daniel's survival shows that an inner state—the I AM, the awareness that you are God in expression—can withstand any decree issued by fear. When you align with that inner king, you revise the story: the outer world cannot destroy the sacred wisdom you carry. By assuming 'I am' as the reality and feeling the certainty of your inner wise ones safe and present, you dissolve the power of the decree and invite the guidance that flows from within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the state that you are the I AM; revise the decree by declaring 'I am the wisdom that survives every decree' and feel the safety.
