Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [535760] belong to telling lecture nids [1279]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1967 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1967 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 24 April 1967
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1967 to before 1967-04-24.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1279 (certain delivery 1967-04-24); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1967`, 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 1967-04-24 on nid 1279 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

Reasoning
Passage 535760 describes the formless golden liquid living light, knowing it to be himself, consciousness fusing with it and rising like a serpent. Chronology records the same content on 1960-04-08: 'temple splits and reveals golden liquid light' (16166), 'temple splits and he unites with golden light' (7767), 'Serpent-of-Light Vision / Ascension' (1259).

Reasoning
Passage 539555 gives 'my body was torn from top to bottom' and then finding David; lecture 1885 (passage 547838) puts the splitting of the temple curtain, 'your own body', 123 days after the finding of the Father, which the chronology dates 6 Dec 1959 (David) and 8 Apr 1960 (splitting: 1259, 7767, 16166, 17256). The David part of the record is 1959-12-06.

Reasoning
Passage 557240 (return into the immortal skull, fiery serpent) and the description (split top to bottom, golden liquid light at the base of the spine) match the April 1960 temple-splitting and serpent-of-light experience, dated 1960-04-08 in the chronology (16166, 7767, 1259). Identification is by content, not by a stated date.

- Going Up to Jerusalem ¶25 (For that night—I can see it now, it was the night of the 8th of April, 1960, that’s when it happened to me—when my temple was split from top to bottom and here came that pool of golden liquid light, which is the blood of the Lamb.)
- Going Up to Jerusalem ¶40 (Yes, it’s formless; it’s liquid, golden liquid living light. The minute you look at it you know it’s yourself, and you, the observer, your consciousness fuses with it, and then up you go, as told in scripture, like a serpent being lifted up in the wilder…)
