Neville Goddard on Daniel 6:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 6 in context

Scripture Focus

1It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

2And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.

3Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

4Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

Daniel 6:1-4

Biblical Context

Daniel rises in Darius's realm because of an excellent spirit and faithful integrity; no fault is found in him, despite others seeking to fault him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel is my inner governor, the I AM in action. The hundred and twenty princes and the three presidents are the many thoughts and images within me; my awareness, the king, assigns them to function so there is no damage in my kingdom. Daniel, first among them, signifies the settled assumption that I am governed by an excellent spirit—the refined state of consciousness that can rule without fear. When inner adversaries plot against me, they reveal only the counterfeit of thought; I remain faithful to my inner law, and no fault or error is found in me because I trust the good. As the king desires to set Daniel over the realm, so does my awareness incline to rule with discernment, wisdom, and integrity. Thus my outer world reflects my inner alignment; I lead my inner kingdom with patience, trust, and fidelity, knowing the Kingdom of God is within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the role of Daniel within your mind. Feel your inner governor ruling with an excellent spirit; revise any thought of fault or limitation by affirming, 'I am faithful, I am whole, I AM the ruler of this kingdom.'
