Daniel 12:7 · World English Bible
I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it will be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have finished breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished.
The man clothed in linen is the awakening awareness in a person. He stands over the waters, the unformed states out of which a life is drawn.

MANIFESTATION
The man clothed in linen is the awakening awareness in a person. He stands over the waters, the unformed states out of which a life is drawn. Both hands raised to heaven mean that this whole awareness turns upward toward its own source. It swears by the one that lives forever, your own imagination, the only thing in you that never dies.
A time, times, and half a time is a fixed inner interval, not a span on any calendar. It runs from the first stirring of this awareness to its full unfolding. To scatter the power of the holy people is to break the last grip of the belief that anything outside you holds authority over your life. When that grip loosens, the drama ends. A person has found that the maker of his world was himself all along.
Manifestation lens
What have I been treating as the final word that was never the final word?
There is something older than heaven and earth, with no name, that everything comes out of. Turning toward that is turning toward what you already are.
When you stop looking for a ruler outside yourself, the whole argument ends. There was never anyone else at the controls.
Be a lamp unto yourself. Take no other refuge, and look for the authority nowhere but where you stand.
