Neville Goddard on Daniel 4:8-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 4 in context

Scripture Focus

8But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my God, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying,

9O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

Daniel 4:8-9

Biblical Context

King Nebuchadnezzar calls Daniel to reveal the dream and its interpretation, trusting that Daniel’s spirit can disclose the hidden meaning.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel is not merely a historical figure; he is the inner faculty of discernment within you, the I AM that can hear and translate the dream of life. The king’s call to Belteshazzar names the inner state that commands clarity, while the spirit of the holy gods in thee represents your own divine awareness. When you acknowledge this spirit, no secret movement of your life can trouble you, for you possess the power to reveal meaning and right action from the dream. The dream stands for your current state of consciousness, with symbols pointing to your condition. The interpreter within you translates signs into truth and possible paths, not by coercion but by quiet assurance. Rest in this awareness and you reclaim authority over your inner world, using imagination as the instrument to revise reality. The verse invites you to trust your inner Daniel: listen, interpret, and align your outer life with the truth already present in your awareness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and affirm, 'The I AM in me is Daniel; I can interpret the dream now.' Then visualize the dream as already interpreted and the scene shifting to its right meaning.
