Inner Verdict of Solomon

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville's eye, this scene is not merely a courtroom drama but a mirror of consciousness. The two women are two states of mind contending for control of the living idea called I am within you. Solomon, the king, is the presence of awareness—unmoved, unconditioned, able to discern without favor. The living child stands for your true, living state of being—your imagined reality that still breathes even as you question it. The dead child is a belief you have outgrown, a story you insist is yours but has ceased to be your reality. When you identify with the one who would keep the living child alive rather than destroy it to prove a point, you align with the higher act of love: you choose the living state over fear. The judgment reveals not a separation between two women but the shift in your own heart from possession to discernment, from lack to actuality. The real mother is the one who permits the counterfeit to perish, thereby preserving the truth that you are already living now in imagination made visible.
