Inner Image of Power

Daniel 2:31-33 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Daniel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

31Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
32This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
33His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
Daniel 2:31-33

Biblical Context

Nebuchadnezzar sees a giant statue with a gold head, silver arms, brass belly, iron legs, and iron mixed with clay feet, symbolizing layered kingdoms within the mind.

Neville's Inner Vision

To me, the great image is your inner registry, a living photograph of how you imagine yourself. The head of gold is your most cherished self-image, shining with the belief that you are favored or chosen. The breast and arms of silver reveal beliefs formed by past judgments—still valuable, yet not final. The belly and thighs of brass speak of warmth and intensity, the drive you deploy when the imagination is active. The legs of iron show stubborn routines, while the feet—iron and clay—expose a brittle foundation in your life. In this light, the 'king and his dream' is your present consciousness; the statue’s form changes with your inner state, not with external events. Neville’s method asks you to revise the statue from within: assume a state that feels true now, declare the I AM as your absolute center, and feel the life you desire already completed. When you maintain that feeling, the outer world conforms to the inner image, and the 'king' awakens to the one reality—the I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the statue in your mind until the entire image reflects your desired state. Then feel it real by dwelling in the sensation of 'I am' already possessing it.
