Inner Warfare in Daniel 8:11-12

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the 'he' who magnifies himself is the rising sense of self-importance in your consciousness, the ego that believes it can control rites and appearances. The 'prince of the host' is the stray thought that you must perform to be acceptable, and the 'daily sacrifice' is your daily attention to the truth of your being. When this inner discipline is cast down, truth is driven from awareness and you witness thoughts of power prospering on the surface. Yet the script does not indict you; it reveals the mechanism of your own mind. The remedy is simple: reverse the assumption. Assume you are the I AM, the author of the inner temple, and that your worship is the recognition of your unity with God. Feel the truth replacing fear; see the sanctuary restored within, not by changing externals but by changing what you hold to be real in consciousness. In doing so, the supposed oppression dissolves, and truth begins to prosper again in your inner life.
