Neville sees a pulsating golden cloud rise to his head

He describes, apparently from his own meditative practice, the golden cloud that springs to the head in pulsating rings and flows from it like a river as sleep is approached.

    Source Assumptions Harden into Factsdelivery claim d1 on lecture nid 1818 ("Lesson 2: Assumptions Harden Into Fact"), circa 1948, stated/probable (site page-title header, state=confirmed); the weaker d0 (after 1939, possible) is a looser bound that 1948 sits comfortably inside, so it is not a conflict
    Why The corpus's own processing notes flag this passage as second-person instruction, so it is uncertain whether Neville is narrating his own experience or teaching a technique generally; either way, it is a platform telling of the phenomenon, which is what field_told dates.
    Reasoning Passage 545459 (with 545460-461) in lecture nid 1818 is Neville's extended description, from the platform, of the pulsating golden cloud rising in meditation. The lecture carries two non-conflicting delivery claims; the better-evidenced one (site page-title, confirmed) dates it circa 1948, so the telling inherits that precision and confidence rather than the weaker after-1939 bound.
