All of the different types of soil are the conditions of the hearts of the elect only, those who have already been born of the Spirit. To keep the scriptures in harmony, the natural man will never be able to save himself by discerning spiritual things. The only way the natural man "dead in sins" will ever become spiritually minded is after he has been regenerated, as explained in Eph 2:5.
You have a mishmash of half truths and outright errors. Man cannot save himself but God has given man sufficient light to hear the gospel and respond to the gospel. Even you have sufficient light to hear the gospel and respond to it either to receive or reject.

All scripture must harmonize in order to understand the doctrine of Jesus. The natural man can not understand the gospel and will not respond to something that he does not understand (1 Cor 2:14). Man cannot cause the natural man (lost man) to be saved eternally. That is by the grace of God, without the help of man.(Eph 2:5). I think where you are getting the wrong message is that a child of God that sees another child of God that is drawn away by the desire of his fleshly nature and he corrects him to cause him to repent and to get back in fellowship with God, that man is said to have delivered=saved himself and also the one that he corrected.(James 5:19-20). This is a deliverance=salvation received here on earth, not eternal. The scriptures are written to the children of God, and not to the natural man, instructing his children how they should live their lives while on earth. The Lord adds to the church daily such as should be saved, not man.(Acts 2:47).
Roger we are in the same boat, you just don't know it. But you can know it if you would deny yourself. As long as you are thinking man has something to do with his eternal salvation, I don't think God will reveal truths to you, in your frame of mind, or you would take credit for yourself instead of giving God credit. At the top of the list of things God hates is "a proud look".
The natural man, described in 1 Cor 2:14 would not have ask Jesus, because he does not think he needs to be saved from anything. He cannot understand anything that is of a spiritual nature. Salvation, according to the Greek interpretation, mean "deliverance". We experience many deliverance here on earth. Giving up your trust in riches and trusting in God is a deliverance(salvation) we receive here on earth.
In the bible pharisees ask Jesus, young richman ask Jesus, are there save?
I believe most people want salvation. I live in islam country, they pray 5 time a day why? Because they want salvation. Atheist and some other believe system may do not believe in life after death, they think do not need salvation.

They're directed to everyone; unsaved & saved alike. The unsaved can understand "Jesus Christ, and him crucified"; the saved can understand "the wisdom of God in a mystery" and "the deep things of God". Not everything in Scripture requires "the mind of Christ" to understand. The external reproving by the Holy Spirit with read/preached Scripture allows the unsaved to understand his need for the Savior.

The bible is literally His Story, the history of God’s dealings with
mankind. How they were lost and found, how they fell and how
through Jesus people can be lifted up.
A story of good verses evil, of sacrifice and salvation.
A story of reconciliation and restored relationship between
God and mankind for those who will listen and receive.
Revelation 22:17 NKJV
[17] And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who
hears say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let
him take the water of life freely.
