Daniel 8:24 — Inner Power Revealed
Daniel 8:24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Daniel 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Daniel 8:24 speaks of a power that is mighty yet not his own, which destroys both the strong and the holy. It points to the inner workings of belief and the false sense of power in our consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville lens, the verse is not about a foreign empire but about the states of consciousness that appear to overpower us. The mighty power that acts not by its own power reveals that all seeming force arises from an assumed identification—an I that is separate from the One. When you identify with a power that seems beyond you, you set in motion a movement that tears down what is holy in you: your sense of wholeness, your sacred self. Yet this destruction is not a final decree; it is the dream of power dissolving once you refuse to identify with separation. The holy people within you are your divinely set-apart nature—your pure awareness, your potential to be guided by the I AM. The verse invites you to notice the impostor power and to insist on the true governor: your consciousness, the I AM, which does not fight but simply acknowledges. By recognizing that power comes from belief, you may revise it, feel it real as the I AM, and let the inner state of holiness be restored into form.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM now and revise the scene by declaring the apparent power to destroy is not mine; I AM the power that renews the holy self.
