Daniel 8:18 Awakening Upright Consciousness
Daniel 8:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Daniel 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Daniel lies prostrate in a deep sleep as a heavenly being speaks; the touch awakens him and he is set upright.
Neville's Inner Vision
Daniel’s moment is not a history lesson but a script of the inner life. The deep sleep is the state of unconscious identification with appearances; the touch is the I AM, the inner word that nudges you back to awareness. When you permit that touch, you are not moving a body but shifting your allegiance from the world of images to the consciousness that gives them life. The act of setting Daniel upright signals that the inner state is corrected: you stand as awareness rather than a reaction to conditions. The ground yields to the inner governor, and humility arises as you acknowledge you are the I AM. The practice is simple: assume you are already upright in consciousness; revise any state that says you are bound; feel the I AM lifting you, righting your posture, and embody the truth that you are the very awareness that animates life.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the I AM touching your forehead, lifting you from a state of sleep to upright consciousness. Hold that feeling as your present reality.
