Daniel's Inner Command to Understand

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel’s waking prayer is not a memory of a distant event but a living state you enter now. The confession and supplication are you aligning with the I AM, the awareness that you are already what you seek to become. When the messenger arrives—Gabriel as the inner faculty of discernment—it moves swiftly through the imagination to bestow skill and understanding. The line 'At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth' means that the moment you hold the end in mind and accept your oneness with truth, the answer is already issued in the law of your own consciousness. 'For thou art greatly beloved' is the inner assurance that your being is cherished by God, not as a distant favor but as your true identity. The outer visitation mirrors an inner transformation: clarity and decision spring from a settled, warm awareness. The practice is the same: cultivate a state in which you know you are beloved and that understanding is present, because imagination has already formed it. In that mood, the question fades and the vision resolves into living certainty.
