Neville Goddard on Daniel 6:2-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Daniel 6:2-3

Biblical Context

Daniel rises above the other presidents because an excellent spirit dwells in him. This signals an inner state of ordered consciousness that the king, the I AM, trusts to rule the realm.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel 6:2-3 shows that the true governor of your life is not a man but a state of consciousness. The three presidents symbolize the ministerial habits of thought—memory, judgment, appetite—each asking for accounts. Daniel’s excellent spirit is the inner discipline that harmonizes these parts, so that the outer order (the king and the realm) is kept safe and prosperous. When you awaken to this, the I AM becomes the king who entrusts the realm to the wise steward within you. The moment you affirm that excellent spirit as your own genuine state, you begin to rule your inner kingdom with clarity, discernment, and integrity; the others fall in line, not by coercion but by alignment. Imagination then becomes the governing power, and your world mirrors the harmony you hold as your present awareness. The task is simple: dwell in that realization, revise any lesser self into the standard of Daniel, and feel the authority of the ruling state now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and adopt the feeling: I am Daniel, the excellent spirit governing my inner realm. Sit with that sense for a minute, then carry the assurance into present actions.
