Anointing the I AM Now
Matthew 26:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 26 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesus affirms a woman's costly act of devotion, calling it a good work, and notes that the poor will always be with you; the moment centers on the immediacy of his presence rather than social duty.
Neville's Inner Vision
Picture the scene as a map of your inner life. The woman represents a generous state of worship—an open, lavish attention poured upon the reality of God within. The ointment is your assumption, a fragrant belief you anoint your body with, signifying consecration of your entire sense of self to awareness. Jesus stands for awareness itself—the I AM that perceives all conditions. The line about the poor always with you signals persistent thoughts of lack, but the moment also contains the divine presence you can dwell in now. When you pour the ointment on the body of your self, you are performing a burial: you shed the old identity tied to limitation and rise in the realized presence of God. This is not nostalgic ritual but a practical shift in consciousness: you choose to live from the end you desire—God's presence as your I AM—here and now. The act aligns thought, feeling, and imagination, turning inner movements into outer experience, so your next circumstance reflects the blessed reality you have embraced.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume 'I AM' as your definite state now, and feel its presence in your chest until it becomes your lived reality.
