Neville Goddard on Daniel 8:22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 8 in context

Scripture Focus

22Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.

Daniel 8:22

Biblical Context

The old power is broken, and four inner kingdoms arise from within the nation, not under the old ruler's control. They symbolize four inner powers ready to govern your life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel 8:22 speaks not to political events but to the architecture of your own consciousness. When the single old power is broken, four kingdoms arise from the inner nation—discernment, courage, vitality, and creative action. They are not under the former king's authority; they govern you now because you invoke the I AM, the unchanging awareness within. Feed the old fear not, but invite these four powers to stand in your mind as loyal stewards of your true sovereignty. Discernment separates the real from the imagined; courage moves you toward your desired state; vitality sustains your daily life; and creative action brings form to inspired thought. Your world is shaped not by external decrees but by the inner governor you accept. Persist in the awareness that you are the I AM, and these four kingdoms will harmonize—reflecting the kingdom already present within, rather than the crumbling reign of the past.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, repeat, 'I am the I AM; these four inner kingdoms stand now to govern my life: discernment, courage, vitality, creative action.' Feel them take root and rule your inner nation until the sense of sovereignty is real.
