Inner Betrayal, Inner Covenant
Luke 22:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Judas consults the chief priests to betray Jesus, agreeing to money and waiting for a private moment away from the crowd. The scene highlights how inner bargains with lack shape outward events, not distant enemies.
Neville's Inner Vision
Judas does not act from a distant world; he reveals a state of consciousness seeking security through external payment. The chief priests and captains are inner authorities you have accepted to run your life—your standard of provision and safety. The money they covenanted to give is the value you assign to fear and the opinion of the many. When he sought opportunity in the absence of the multitude, he sought a private moment in which to reaffirm that belief in lack, not a true separation from Jesus. In the Neville sense, the betrayal is a misalignment within your own mind: you betray your higher self whenever you accept an arrangement with limitation. The cure is to return to the I AM, the one reality within you, and to revise the scene by affirming that you are guided by consciousness, not coins or crowds. Practically, you can dissolve such bargains by assuming the feeling of complete sufficiency and imagining the inner council agreeing to your wholeness, here and now.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare 'I AM the ruler of this inner field,' and replay the scene with your higher self dissolving the bargain and choosing loyalty to the divine I AM.
