Psychological interpretation
John 17:12 ('none of them is lost, but the son of perdition') read as: nothing can be lost in the divine economy; the son of perdition is the concept of loss. Things seem lost when one descends in consciousness below the level where they live, and they reappear when one ascends to it again: the flower that bloomed once blooms forever.
