    Source Is Causation Imaginaldelivery claim d1 on lecture nid 1822 ('Is Causation Imaginal'), confirmed bound 1961-11-06..1962-05-26 (Bel-Air/Huxley house-fire lower bound, 26-May-class upper bound); the narrower d0 point estimate (circa 1962, probable, weaker 'supported' state) sits consistently within this bound
    Why d0 (circa 1962) is not discarded -- it is consistent with and sits inside this bound, so no conflict is being adjudicated, just the more firmly evidenced record was used.
    Reasoning Passage 545620 (in lecture nid 1822) is Neville saying he has himself witnessed the burning bush, his whole being becoming flame, in subways and on the stage -- this passage is the telling. The lecture's confirmed, firmer delivery claim bounds it between 6 November 1961 and 26 May 1962, probable, so the telling inherits that bound and precision rather than the narrower but weaker-evidenced circa-1962 point estimate.

1962 [circa/probable/preferred/estimated] Is Causation Imaginal I am telling about the burning bush. If you’ve never witnessed it, I can tell you, your whole being becomes a flame, and you see it. I have seen it in subways, I’ve seen it on the stage. I have seen — I AM — suddenly the whole is, though you were fire, and you wonder why you are burning. So — as with this bush, it burned and yet it did not consume, it burned and the tree was not consumed. I have been in the subway, and the whole area is ablaze — it’s burning, but the burning is something like spirit-burning. If I took alcohol and burned it, the whole thing is alive — it’s not like a gas jet… 545620
