Vision by the River Ulai
Daniel 8:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Daniel 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Daniel 8:2 presents a visionary scene: Daniel stands in Shushan beside the Ulai. The setting serves as a symbolic inner landscape where revelations arise from consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Daniel's vision is not an ancient map, but a blueprint of your own inner geography. The palace at Shushan and the river Ulai symbolize states of awareness and the current of feeling that flow through them. In Neville's terms, the place you find yourself is a state of consciousness you inhabit, and the events you see are movements of imagination within that state. When Daniel says he was there, he is telling us: wherever you mentally stand, your inner world composes the outer scene. The palace speaks of authority, stillness, and the sovereignty of the I AM, while the river speaks of life moving in continuous purpose. The vision is a reminder that exile and return are not external histories but inner shifts: a shift from identification with lack to alignment with the truth that God is I AM. By revising your inner condition—holding the end, feeling the palace of peace, listening to the Ulai as your own living stream—you awaken the same creative power that births visions into form. Your present consciousness is the author; Shushan is the stage; Ulai the tempo of your lasting sense of being.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already in Shushan by the Ulai, in the palace of your inner sovereignty. Feel the I AM awareness saturate your being and let that feeling realign your world.
