Neville describes the night of his mystical experience as an entirely ordinary day - his usual two or three martinis before dinner, a roast beef dinner with a baked potato at five, lights out at eleven - proving the vision was not caused by undigested food.

  2. 1968 estimated
    Source Fall in Love with Christ ¶45passage 545950 (lecture nid 1829, "Fall Love With Christ"); lecture's d0 delivery claim is 1968 exact/certain (his 8 April 1960 ascension dated 'eight years ago'); a second, weaker d1 claim narrows to October 1968 (estimated/possible, state=weak) by identifying an unnamed remarriage as the Onassis marriage, set aside here as insufficiently certain
    Reasoning Passage 545950 is Neville describing, in the first person, the entirely ordinary day of the night his mystical experience happened -- the martinis, the roast-beef dinner, the timing -- this is the telling. The owning lecture nid 1829 carries a certain year-only delivery claim (1968) and a weaker, possible month-level claim (October 1968) that depends on an unnamed remarriage being identified as the Onassis marriage; the certain claim is used rather than the weaker guess, and its precision/confidence (year-only/certain) is copied across unchanged.

1968-10-21 [exact/certain/final] Fall in Love with Christ The night that it happened to me, I lived a very normal day, had my usual two or three martinis before dinner, had a lovely roast beef dinner and a baked potato; and didn’t turn in for several hours after. So it was not the result of some undigested piece of beef, for I had my dinner at five and it was eleven when I doused the lights. Well, certainly anything in my stomach at five should have been a way down by eleven, so it was not any undigested food in my stomach that prompted this miraculous experience. Yet, here is a perfectly normal, natural man in the world of Caesar. 545950
