Inner Wealth in John 12:4-6

Neville's Inner Vision

Judas is not a man here but a state of consciousness—greed, fear of lack, and the urge to own what you believe you must safeguard. The ointment and its price symbolize value you place on life when you forget that wealth flows from your inner world. The scene exposes the tension between outward protest about the poor and the inward tendency to hoard for security. See it as Neville would: you are the I AM, the awareness that creates your world, not the external purse. The question, 'Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?' is the mind insisting on scarcity. The 'bag' in Judas's hands stands for thought-wealth, and the claim that it belongs to you alone. When you awaken to the truth that Providence is your consciousness, you can revise: there is no true lack; abundance is the nature of your state. Practice: assume you are already provisioned, feel the reality of fullness, and permit generous acts to unfold as if already done.
