Neville recounted to his audiences his experience of watching a large quartz fragment into a million pieces and then reassemble as his own glorified form as Buddha in the lotus posture — seeing his very own being (Neville's own vision, known to Carter only through Neville's telling).
Date (happened)
-
c. 1900
stated · doubtful
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l1.4/sentinel1900: year 1900 here is not a date. `corpus v1 / phase3b` emitted it as a placeholder for "unknown, sometime before the telling" whenever the speaker used a vague temporal phrase — this row's own source note is the phrase. The same sentinel was identified and converged on in run v1.1/l0.5/retype/w1-conv. It carried confidence `certain`, which no evidence supported. Lowered to `doubtful`; an honest `before 1968-07-23` bound is appended alongside from the telling lecture (nid 1050). Nothing deleted, no year invented.

before 23 July 1968
bound
Source
bound from the telling lecture nid 1050 (1968-07-23)
Reasoning
The event is told in the past tense in nid 1050, delivered 1968-07-23 (that claim's confidence: certain, preferred), so it had happened by that date. This is the same premise phase4 L6a and L4.5 rest on, stated at the precision the evidence actually supports rather than as a fabricated year. It replaces nothing: the 1900 placeholder row remains, lowered, as the record of what phase3b did. `bound` is never `preferred`, so this does not change what the event displays.
Verbatim (witness's words)
I’m sure you remember his experience of seeing the large quartz and as he looked at it, it fragmented. It broke into a million pieces and then as he looked at it contemplating it, it suddenly reassembled as his own glorified form as Buddha in the lotus posture. So, he was looking at his very own being.

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 1050 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 1050 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1968-7-23 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1958-11-3 refuted; 1968-7-23 certain; 1968-10-15 refuted; 1968-7-23 certain (preferred); 1968-7-23 certain. Superseded here: delta 0: 1968-10-15 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.

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 1408 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 1408 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1969-12-12 at `probable`. All claims on the node: 1968-12-9 refuted; 1969-12-12 probable (preferred). Superseded here: delta 3: 1968-12-09 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`) | delta 4: 1968-12-09 at `probable` (run `v1.1/l4/ceiling/c2`). 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.
c. 1962
estimated · probable
Why
No told claim was previously recorded for this witnessing lecture.
Reasoning
Passage 545634 in nid 1822 recounts the vision ('mine happened in 1934'), so this lecture is a telling of the event, not its happening (the happening year 1934 is already recorded elsewhere). The lecture's own delivery date is dated to circa 1962 at probable confidence, bounded between the Bel-Air fire of 1961-11-06 and the still-future 'class on the 26th of May' 1962-05-26; the told claim cannot exceed that probable ceiling.

Source
nid 2041 'The Rock' delivery claim d1: stated/exact/certain 1969-02-19, chrome site-nav dateline 'Neville Goddard 2-19-1969 THE ROCK'
Why
Node also carries a superseded doubtful 1968-01..08 estimate, contradicted by the chrome dateline; not used.
Reasoning
Passage 552153 in nid 2041 recounts the vision ('In 1934, while sitting quietly...'), so this lecture is a telling, not the happening. The lecture's chrome dateline gives a stated/certain delivery claim of 1969-02-19, which the node's own processing history records as the stronger claim over a conflicting weak 1968-01..08 internal-evidence estimate (doubtful). The told claim inherits that certain delivery confidence.
15 September 1957
estimated · probable
Reasoning
Passage 556890 in nid 4004 recounts the vision ('Or I encountered myself, seated in the Lotus posture...'). The lecture's delivery is dated to 1957-09-15 at probable confidence by a two-constraint calendar cross-check (a Sunday that is also 15 September, unique to 1957 among 1948-1972 candidates, confirmed by the Blake bicentennial remark). The told claim is capped at that probable ceiling.
18 February 1966
estimated · probable
Reasoning
Reverse-witness passage 547366 in nid 1868 recounts the vision ('It was in the thirties'; note confirms this is when the vision occurred), so this lecture is a telling, not the happening. The lecture's delivery is dated 1966-02-18 at probable confidence (chrome dateline confirmed by day-of-week arithmetic against the lecture's own 'Sunday the 20th' statement). The told claim cannot exceed that probable ceiling.

Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1050, 1968-10-15) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1968-7-23. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.

Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1408, 1968-12-9) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1969-12-12. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
9 December 1968
stated · refuted
Why
Corrects the confidence of the told claim written by run `corpus v1 / phase3b` at delta 3 on this event; that claim is left standing per append-only. Ceiling rule #2132.
Reasoning
Confidence only; the date is not re-adjudicated and is left exactly as written. This claim is derived from the delivery claims of node 1408 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `probable`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 1408 delivery claims: 1968-12-9 possible; 1969-12-12 probable. Walked back to `probable`, the ceiling. Whether the DATE is right is a separate question this row does not touch; if the evidence turns out to support more confidence, it will have to come from a source other than this node. || v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1408, 1968-12-9) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1969-12-12. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
