The Inner Night of the King
Daniel 6:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Daniel 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Daniel 6:18 describes the king retiring to his palace, fasting through the night, with no music before him, and sleep not returning to him.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's voice, the outer scene is a symbolic inner state. The king's sleepless night is a consciousness-recognition of fear and longing to control outcomes. The fasting and absence of music point to turning away from external supports and seeking a presence within—the I AM. Your life mirrors this when anxiety stirs belief in separation from God. The solution is not to chase an external fix but to revise the inner state: assume you are already the I AM, fully at peace, and let that inner reality unfold as your outer experience. Sleep and rest flow not from circumstances but from the felt truth that you are the divine awareness incarnate, here and now. By repeatedly dwelling in this accomplished state, you align your consciousness with the end you desire, until the night becomes quiet and rest is restored, because you have chosen the scene of wholeness.
Practice This Now
Tonight, lie down and assume the I AM is at rest in you. Silently affirm, 'I AM peace,' and feel yourself carried by that inner presence until sleep returns.
