Neville Goddard on Daniel 4:12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 4 in context

Scripture Focus

12The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.

Daniel 4:12

Biblical Context

Leaves are fair, fruit is plentiful, and the tree provides food for all. Beasts find shade and birds dwell in its branches, showing a living symbol of universal nourishment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this verse as a mirror of consciousness. The great tree is the image of your inner state where abundance is grown and shared. The leaves' beauty, the fruit's plenty, and the shelter it affords are not external signs but the living proof of the I AM at work within you. In Neville's language, God is the I AM, and imagination is the root and fruit of reality. When you hold the belief that life feeds all beings through your inner kingdom, you align with the provision that nourishes every creature. The beasts and birds are inner faculties and desires sustained by this sufficiency; their shade and dwelling indicate harmony, safety, and abundance that spring from your inner state. The verse asks you to live as the Tree—feeding, sheltering, and reproducing life through your awareness. By realizing that this abundance is your natural condition, you will witness the outward world bending to the same steady diet of supply.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume I AM as the source of all nourishment. See the Tree of Life within your chest, its leaves and fruit feeding every creature; feel the reality of abundance now.
