Immediately after the experience he wrote the whole thing down in detail and mailed it to his wife, going down the hallway to post it so there would be a record.

Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 030)
Reasoning
Passage 542286: 'I got out and wrote the whole thing in detail and mailed it to my wife', following the birth-from-above experience of 1959-07-20 at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel (1274, 17300). Immediate, so the same day or the next.
before 1972
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [542286] belong to telling lecture nids [1538]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1972 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1972 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 31 March 1972
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1972 to before 1972-03-31.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1538 (certain delivery 1972-03-31); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1972`, 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 1972-03-31 on nid 1538 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

Where and When Did It Happen |
I got out and wrote the whole thing in detail and mailed it to my wife. I went down the hallway and dropped it in so that there’ll be a record that the story of Scripture is supernatural and is not secular history. It’s something that’s going to happen to every person in this world in their own good order. But it is not something that happens only to one person. It is going to happen to all. It is God being born in man. That was his pledge to himself. And that man would actually become God. I was invisible to them—why? Because God is spirit. But it didn’t rob me of the feeling of the part and… |
