Salt of the Inner Earth

Matthew 5:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 5 in context

Scripture Focus

13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
Matthew 5:13

Biblical Context

Plainly, you are the salt of the earth, the seasoning of life by your inner state; when that savor fades, your influence diminishes and you are cast aside.

Neville's Inner Vision

Visualize salt as your living state of consciousness. You are not a separate flavor added from without; you are the savor itself, arising from the I AM within. When you dwell in limitation or lack, your savor dims, and the world treats you as if you are good for nothing, trodden underfoot. The remedy is to return to your true function: to assume and feel the salt is you, right now. In imagination you declare: I AM the salt of the earth; my presence seasons all I touch. This is not an external act but an inner decree, a revision of your feeling about who you are. Hold to that interior savor until it registers as fact in your outer scene—your conversations, your choices, your opportunities. As you persist in this inner state, you will notice situations seasoned by your conviction—people respond with receptivity, events brighten, and even dull environments gain a sense of spice. The world does not cast you out when you remember your essential flavor; it responds to the certainty of God within you.

Practice This Now

Practice: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the salt of the earth,' then feel the savor in your chest and keep that feeling active for a minute, letting it color your next interaction.
