Inner Reading, Outer Promotion

Daniel 5:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Daniel 5 in context

Scripture Focus

7The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
8Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
Daniel 5:7-8

Biblical Context

Daniel 5:7-8 tells of the king calling astrologers and wise men to interpret a mysterious writing. None can read it.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you is the Daniel who reads the writing upon life's wall. The king's call for astrologers and wise men is a mirror of the outer mind seeking answers from signals, signs, and traditions. Their failure is not a fault in them but a reminder that interpretation cannot be bought from without; it is an inner act, a revision of belief. The writing on the wall is a directive your I AM knows; when you imagine yourself as the interpreter, you stop chasing external authorities and enter a state of quiet certainty. The ladder promised (scarlet robe, gold chain, third ruler) is a symbol for the inner status you win when you align with the inner reader. As you assume the role of Daniel, you practice by declaring, 'I am the interpreter of life now; I know what this writing means because I, the I AM, illumine it.' Feel the littleness of doubt fall away as awareness expands. The world outside becomes a sign of your inner condition, and promotion comes not from others, but from your conscious revision and imaginative conviction.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the interpreter now. In quiet imagination, read the writing and feel its meaning as already known, and see yourself elevated in your inner kingdom.
