Abdullah trains Neville to shift imagined location

Neville recounts the exercise his old teacher Abdullah gave him: sitting daily in his living room with eyes closed, assuming he was in the chair by the hall telephone and then feeling himself back again, until he discovered the feeling of changing motion.

    Source The Secret of Prayer ¶13qualifying source passages 536063; telling lecture nids 1288
    Reasoning Qualifying passage ids [536063] belong to telling lecture nids [1288]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1967 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1967 is the MIN across telling lectures.

    Why M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 039): its source node 1288 does not exist on www: left off; bound with no source: written as estimated with the reader's reasoning
    Reasoning Node 1288's higher-confidence delivery claim is 1967-10-06 (probable), versus the weaker 1967-10-02 (doubtful) claim.

    Why Corrects the confidence of the told claim written by run `corpus v1 / phase3b` at delta 0 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 1288 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `probable`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 1288 delivery claims: 1967-10-2 doubtful; 1967-10-6 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.

    Source The Secret of Prayerdelivery claim d1 on node 1288 (The Secret of Prayer), chrome dateline 'by Neville Goddard 10/6/67'
    Why Existing told claims (1967-10-02) are left unaltered per append-only; this is the corrected day.
    Reasoning The lecture's own preferred delivery claim is the chrome dateline read directly from the pre-strip body, dated 1967-10-06 at probable confidence; this outranks the catalogue-derived 1967-10-02 date (doubtful, explicitly questioned by this stronger source per the packet's own WHY note) that the existing told claims on this event rest on. The told date inherits the probable ceiling from the delivery claim it is derived from.
