Neville describes a vivid vision from 10 October 1966, which he says he had already shared once before with a different audience. He was in a room teaching the word of God to twelve men in ancient robes; one rose and left, and Neville knew instantly the man intended to betray him to the authorities. A tall, imposing robed figure then entered, hammered a wooden peg into Neville's shoulder, cut away his robe's sleeve with a sharp instrument, and embraced him with arms outstretched like a cross, kissing him on the neck as Neville kissed him in return. He reads the vision as a living enactment of the Gospel of Mark's betrayal scene, reinterpreting Judas not as a traitor but as "the revealer" of the drama that unfolds within every man.
Date (happened)
10 October 1966
conclusion
Reasoning
Eight independent tellings across at least five different lectures all state the same day, month and year in Neville's own words.

10 October 1966
stated
Reasoning
The packet's witness [w1] shows the date text 'In my own case on the 10th of October, 1966, a glorious vision was mine...' in passage 538660 (the paragraph immediately preceding the marked witness 538661), while existing claim d2 cites passage 538661 which does not contain that text. I read the date in 538660 and cite it here. The passage directly states the event date, and multiple other passages independently confirm the same date, so confidence certain.
10 October 1966
stated
Source
passage 536010 (lecture nid 1287), 'an experience of mine that took place on the 10th day of October, 1966'
Why
Corroborated independently by passage 535961 in a different lecture (nid 1286), same day named.
Reasoning
Neville states the exact day of the vision in his own words, and this is independently corroborated by a second, separate lecture (passage 535961, nid 1286) which gives the same day and month/year and additionally places the telling 'a year ago this month' -- consistent with both lectures' own delivery date of 1967-10-02.
10 October 1966
stated
Reasoning
Neville states the date directly and precisely (day, month and year), and it is independently consistent with his own framing 'a year ago this month' relative to the October 1967 telling.
c. 1966
stated · probable
before 14 October 1966
bound
Reasoning
The completed lookup predates node 1235 authoritative certain 1966-10-14 delivery; no date for the earlier telling permits finer precision.
c. 1971
stated · probable
before 1968
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [538377] belong to telling lecture nids [1367]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1968 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1968 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 14 June 1968
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1968 to before 1968-06-14.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1367 (certain delivery 1968-06-14); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1968`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1968-06-14 on nid 1367 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 020)
Reasoning
Same vision as chronology 1348 / 8802 / 16213 (unveiled arm, 1966-10-10); passage 538377: the man took off my sleeve and unveiled my right arm.

stated · refuted
Why
pm-actor-529: refuted by M7 (529) before merging into 1348 (M7-K0013): 1966-10-14 is the date of the later lecture (node 1235) in which Neville refers back to the vision, and its own bound says the vision came before it; the chain verdict (M7-K0013) dates the one vision 10 October 1966, which 1348 carries from six lectures
Reasoning
L1.6: copied at no greater confidence from the adjudicated preferred delivery claim of anchor node 1235.

estimated
Why
Lane L7 (#2354) re-derivation. Supersedes in substance, not in storage, the refuted-date told claim(s) on this event; those rows stand per append-only.
Reasoning
Re-derived, not walked down. The existing told claim(s) on this event took their date from a delivery claim on node 1235 that the corpus has since REFUTED, so the corpus was asserting that Neville told this on a day it separately says he did not lecture. That is a contradiction rather than an over-confidence, and lowering the confidence would have hidden it instead of resolving it. The refutation stands and the told claim is the wrong side of it. Node 1235 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1966-10-14 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1966-??-?? certain; 1967-1-19 refuted; 1966-10-14 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1967-01-19 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`). The telling is dated by its lecture, so with the refuted date removed from consideration the surviving claim is what the telling inherits, at that claim own confidence and no higher.
10 October 1966
estimated · probable
Reasoning
Lecture node 1996 ('Bloodshed') has a delivery claim of 1966-10-10 at confidence probable (source header dateline '10/10/66'). Passage 551100 in that lecture refers to 'the day that my arm was unveiled' among remembered dates, and the lecture's processing notes indicate the vision occurred that same morning. Therefore this lecture is a telling of the event on 1966-10-10. The told claim is type estimated because it cites a lecture node, and confidence is capped at probable by the strongest delivery claim on node 1996 (1966-10-10 probable), per the told-claim confidence ceiling.

delivery claim on lecture nid 1287, chrome dateline 'JUDAS THE REVEALER by Neville Goddard 10/2/67'
Reasoning
This telling was given in the lecture 'Judas the Revealer', whose certain, chrome-confirmed delivery date is 1967-10-02; the same day also carries a second telling of this vision in the separate lecture 'The Name of Judah' (nid 1286), also delivered 1967-10-02.
2 October 1967
estimated
Reasoning
No conflict: both delivery claims independently agree on the same date, one from the legacy catalog and one from the lecture's own removed chrome dateline, so field_told inherits 1967-10-02 at high confidence.

Passage 548083 records Neville recounting this vision to his audience during lecture nid=1891, delivered 1968-11-01 per the node's own certain dateline claim (d1). || v1.1 type repair: written as `stated` by run v1.1/l4/actor417/8000-9999-b7, retyped `estimated` — the claim cites node 1891, not a passage, so it is this lane's inference rather than something Neville said in so many words (#2117).

Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1235, 1967-1-19) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1966-10-14. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
