Inner Salt, World Peace
Mark 9:50 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Mark 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
It calls you to keep your inner vitality and integrity bright, and to live in peace with others. If your inner salt fades, your life loses its seasoning; thus maintain the purity within and foster harmony.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the sentence lies a practical spiritual law: you are the salt. The salt’s savor is the state of consciousness you embody. If you become dull—allow stingy thoughts, resentment, fear—your environment loses its seasoning, and peace with others frays. The imperative 'have salt in yourselves' is not about external rules but about maintaining a lively, honest awareness of your I AM. When you dwell as the seer, choosing a state that loves and includes, your world answers with harmony; peace among people becomes the natural fruit of a preserved inner truth. You can see the entire verse as a reminder to revise any unkind feeling into a higher feeling, to keep your inner governor bright. Do not chase external signs of peace; awaken the conviction that inner salt is constant and that you already stand within the desired state. Through imagination and steady attention, you shift from lack to fullness, and your relationships reflect that wholeness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the feeling of unassailable inner salt—clarity, integrity, and peace. Revise any tense interaction in your mind until you feel the other person already aligned with your peaceful state.
