Inner Betrayal And Healing Light
Luke 22:47-53 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 22 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Judas betrays by kiss, and the others prepare for violence; Jesus responds with mercy, healing the servant's ear. He then speaks of the hour of darkness, exposing a moment when consciousness chooses its direction.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville lens, Luke 22:47–53 is not a report of events but a map of consciousness. Judas’s kiss is the moment a state of separation tries to pretend it’s reality; the crowd with swords marks the habit of fear when you forget the I AM. Jesus is your indwelling awareness, always present to correct perception. When He touches the ear, the healing is a symbol: perception is restored when you refuse to identify with attack and instead imagine harmony. The hour of darkness is the old weather of the mind, not a final doom; it is the signal that you may revise the scene from the I AM by assuming a new state. By claiming, 'I am that I am,' and feeling it with conviction, you displace the violence of the moment with mercy, and the external scene rearranges itself accordingly. Your task is to realize that every betrayal, every cut, every claim of power outside, is a projection of your own consciousness, and the healing shows the possibility of restoration through inner faith.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and revise the scene by assuming the I AM here and now. Feel the mercy flow to the mind’s ear and imagine the betrayal dissolving into understanding.
