Biblical Context

The king asks if Daniel’s living God can deliver him from the lions, highlighting Daniel’s steadfast faith and God’s protective presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you, the den is not a place but a state of mind. The lions are your fears, the king's question your moment of decision. When the outer voice asks, 'Is your God able to deliver you?' imagine that your own I AM, denoting consciousness, exists as the power that rescues. Daniel represents your higher self, awake in the night of trial, never doubting the living God within. The image of protection does not come from without; it arises from within, as you align your inner witness with the truth that God is present as awareness. Your deliverance is not a future event but a now-impression you accept by revising your sense of self. When you dwell in the assumption 'I am that God who delivers,' the den becomes quiet, the lions retreat, and the king's question dissolves into a smile of acknowledgment. The outcome mirrors your inner state: health, safety, or release manifesting as your experience because you chose to believe in the power you already are.
