The Little Horn Within
Daniel 7:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Daniel 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Daniel 7:8 speaks of a little horn rising among ten horns. It symbolizes an inner ego and its boastful voice.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the Neville reader, the 'horn' is not a future king but a state of consciousness—a thought-form that asserts itself with the eyes of self-importance and a voice that boasts. The verse sets the scene inside your mind: a fresh center of attention appears amid many held beliefs, and this center speaks as if it has power. Yet what rises is not an enemy outside you, but a pattern of thought you have invited by your past images of lack or control. The 'three horns' plucked up before it symbolize old vibrations loosened when a new self-image hardens its claim. The key shift is to recognize that all such movements are your internal images in action; you are the I AM—the perceiver who can revise. When you stop feeding the little horn with fear or desire and instead dwell in the consciousness that I AM, you displace the boastful voice and invite a different reality to take root. Imagination, not circumstance, creates your experience; thus you re-create from within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and hold the I AM as your unwavering identity; revise the horn’s voice by declaring, 'I am the I AM here, and this fear is not my reality.' Then dwell in the felt sense of the state you desire as already true.
