Judas: The Inner Betrayer and the Frustration of Revelation
In the story of Jesus, Judas (also Old Testament Judah) plays a crucial and painful role—he is the betrayer from within, the closest companion whose actions bring deep frustration and apparent defeat to the revelation Jesus embodies. Judas’s betrayal is not just a historical event; it symbolises the inner conflict that arises whenever you begin to imagine rightly and hold an assumption of a new reality.
As soon as you start to assume a higher state of being, a fresh vision of who you want to be or what you want to create, Judas constantly appears as the voice of doubt, fear, and self-sabotage. He is the symbol of your own thoughts that consistently undermine your assumption, betraying the revelation with a “kiss” that seems to deliver your new reality into the hands of disbelief and failure.
This betrayal is intensely frustrating because it comes from within yourself—it is the struggle between the part of you trying to evolve and the part clinging to old beliefs and limitations. Judas’s role reveals how deeply embedded the old mindset is, and how resistant the subconscious mind can be to transformation.
Yet, Judas’s frustration is a necessary challenge on the path to manifestation. It exposes the resistance you must face and overcome. True transformation demands persistence in the face of this inner betrayal, standing firm in your imagined assumption despite the undermining voices.
In essence, Judas is the inner adversary that arises just as you begin to realise your ability to imagine. Recognising and enduring this frustration is a crucial step toward freeing yourself from old patterns and fully embracing the new reality you imagine.
