Footwash of Forgiveness

Neville's Inner Vision

I hear the scene as a spiritual drama inside you. The woman is your awakened I AM, the tears are the release of old stubborn judgments, the hairs of her head are the threads of attention she gives to what is holy in you. The host Simon represents a mind that withholds water, a belief that you must earn approval; but Jesus turns to the woman and names the act of love as the very evidence of forgiveness already attained. In Neville’s language, God is your I AM, and the act of forgiveness is a shift of state: when you allow yourself to love deeply, your inner world is washed clean. The feet standing in tears become a symbol of letting go of self-condemnation; the kiss, the oil, the anointing are the consciousness of worth and grace you awaken. Therefore, your forgiveness is not earned by acts you perform externally but realized by how you pour love into your own attention. To whom little is forgiven, loves little; to whom much is forgiven, loves much.
