Neville affirms that the birth of Christ, the resurrection, the discovery of the Son and the dove are facts of his own personal experience — and says that under torture he would recant like Galileo while knowing in his heart he was right.

M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 011)
Reasoning
Passage 533070 lists the birth of Christ, the resurrection, the discovery of the Son who reveals you as God the Father (David) and the dove as 'from my own personal experience'. The chronology dates those to 1959-07-20, 1959-12-06 and 1963-01-01 (dove). The set was complete by 1963-01-01, and told 1965-05-18.
before 1965
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [533070] belong to telling lecture nids [1206]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1965 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1965 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 18 May 1965
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1965 to before 1965-05-18.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1206 (certain delivery 1965-05-18); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1965`, 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 1965-05-18 on nid 1206 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

You will, my dear. [...] But in this world here, he remains in this world of Woodland—though he is potentially infinite—until he is grafted by the gift of God who has life in himself. And when he’s grafted it grows and then automatically he leaves the world of Woodland. For now he actually becomes one of the operators of life, for now he has life in himself. As we are told, “As the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself” . So, he’s bringing out himself. But you and I would be no earthly good to an infinite being if we were automatons, if we had to… |
