The evidence of 3 distinct psychic realities is depicted in the following story:
The Judgment of Solomon is recounted in 1Kings 3:16-28. In this story Solomon ruled between two women both claiming to be the mother of a child.
· Reality 2: One of the women claimed that the other, after accidentally smothering her own son while sleeping, had exchanged the two children to make it appear that the living child was hers. The other woman denied this and so both women claimed to be the mother of the living son and said that the dead boy belonged to the other.
· King Solomon declared there was only one fair solution: the live son must be split in two, each woman receiving half of the child.
· Reality 1: The boy's true mother cried out, "Please, My Lord, give her the live child—do not kill him!"
· Reality 3: However, the liar, in her bitter jealousy, exclaimed, "It shall be neither mine nor yours—divide it!"
· Solomon instantly gave the live baby to the real mother, realizing that the true mother's instincts were to protect her child, while the liar revealed that she did not truly love the child.
