Daniel 7:2

Biblical Context

Daniel 7:2 describes a night vision where four winds contend on the great sea, signaling inner forces at work within consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel's vision asks you to notice the four winds as the very movements of consciousness inside you. The 'great sea' is your subconscious life; when the winds strive upon it, it is your inner weather shaping outward appearances. In Neville's method, God is I AM—your conscious awareness. The winds are your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and identifications in tension. By accepting that you are the one who breathes life into the scene, you realize you do not seek to conquer the world but to revise your inner state. When you assume a desired state and imagine it vividly, you set the winds to act in favor of your wish; the sea's surface becomes a mirror of your inner condition. The moment you feel it real, you permit the vision to settle, and the outer is rearranged to reflect your inner changes. The key is not struggle but notice: observe the winds by turning attention inward and trusting that imagination creates reality.
