The Student asked the Teacher, Has salt any mythological relevance?

The Teacher answer:

When we think 'salt' we put into motion within our soul everything associated with the process. So salt, even though it is small, is no less in itself for it, is one of the most dynamic things to contemplate. So 'salt' can, for example, represent mythology. We think mythology plays a small role in our life until we focus down on the little elements within us, and raise them up microscopic fashion, then we see a world within a world. So 'salt' is then a symbol for mythology. Our world is 'salted' with mythology....and not too much or too little either, for it must not overpower, nor be neglected or we can't taste it or in other words, come to 'sense it' in a likable manor. Salt is then our inner Ego, as a mythological portion of every lifetime or thought, or feeling, and spread within the atmosphere of everything, even to the stars. So the human ego is both a mythology of himself, and understands 'the flavor' of his own 'salt' or 'mythology, is not the same in others, for he senses that two 'salts' cannot be in the universal being, nor can all the 'salts' be together so something is removed, so this 'salt' that is given by us, and this 'salt' must also be 'sensed' by our self and so we love the flavor and not because of the 'salt' alone, but because from our side, we have added something that was 'missing' , and from the other side of being, it is also the same, and we all first sense the world 'without' salt, and then it is magically added. In this way we rise to the level of seeing salt as 'thought'.
