Inner Writing on the Wall
Daniel 5:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Daniel 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Belshazzar calls the astrologers to interpret the writing, promising rewards. They cannot read it, revealing the limits of outer wisdom to discern inner messages.
Neville's Inner Vision
Belshazzar’s feast is not history; it is a window into your own consciousness. The king’s cry for astrologers and wise men represents the habit of seeking interpretation from the outer world while neglecting the inner I AM that alone reads the signs. The writing on the wall is the inner message telling you that a current state has run its course and must be revised. In Neville’s psychology, the true interpreter is imagination—your I AM aware of the sensing that is happening. When you assume you already understand the meaning of your present challenge, you align with the inner state that reads it. The failure of the wise men shows that no amount of external learning can produce a new interpretation until you revise your sense of self. The promised reward—the third ruler—signals a shift to a higher order of consciousness when you take responsibility for your inner reading. Practice by assuming the interpretation you desire, and feel it now; let the outer circumstances mirror the inner realization.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and assume you already know the writing’s meaning for your life. Feel the state as real now, and let every action reflect the interpretation you’ve assumed.
