The Skyward Tree Within
Daniel 4:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Daniel 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse depicts a strong tree whose height and reach symbolize an expansive inner state of consciousness extending toward heaven and the earth.
Neville's Inner Vision
Daniel's tree is not a timber creation of kingdoms; it is your own inner state taking form. The tree grew strong because your attention fed it with faith; its height reaches heaven because your feeling extends beyond present appearances. The sight to the end of the earth is your awareness surveying every room of your life, every relationship, every outcome, from the vantage point that believes and confirms. In this reading, God is the I AM you awaken to in meditation—your eternal perceiver who, once it accepts a new truth, makes that truth tangible. When you treat the tree as already enlarged, your inner conditions ripple outward, rearranging circumstances without struggle. This is not about changing facts by force, but about aligning your inner state with the desired fact until the outer form catches up. The moment you decide that you are the author of your world, you become the tree: rooted in the past, growing toward a limitless heaven, and casting its shade over the earth you inhabit.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume you are the tree—strong, tall, and radiant. Feel the life-force moving along the branches and declare, 'I am the sovereignty of my world,' then revise one limiting belief to reflect that truth, and dwell in the feeling-it-real until the outer changes begin.
