The Inner Image Of Nebuchadnezzar
Daniel 3:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Daniel 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
King Nebuchadnezzar sets up a vast gold image and commands worship in the plain of Dura. This outward monument mirrors the inner grip of pride and the need for recognition.
Neville's Inner Vision
Daniel 3:1 presents a king erecting a gold image, a visible idol in the plain of Dura. In this light, the image stands as a fixed belief about yourself—power, worth, belonging—made tangible by others' worship. Your consciousness creates worlds, and the ego's demand for outer approval is the impulse behind such idols. The I AM within you never bows; it is the still, radiant awareness that imagines the scene into being. When you identify with the image, you are mistaking form for reality; when you question whose dream is playing, you awaken. The story invites you to revise: not by destroying the outer symbol, but by re-supposing that you are the source of all homage and power. If you fear loss, imagine that loss disappears as you anchor the Self as the sole actor and audience. The king's decree cannot touch the eternal you who imagines all kingdoms into being; you can alter the movie by feeling the I AM here now as the only reality, the ruler that never departs from your inner temple.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare: I AM the source of all power. Revise any external idol by feeling the Self as ruler of your inner image, here and now.
