Neville describes his own sequence of mystical experiences: the wind in the head like a hurricane, waking from the sleep of death and bringing forth the child, then five months later an explosion of the head in which David stood before him as his son.

Reasoning
Passage 546057: a 'double act' of awakening and the child, then a second act, the explosion of the head with David standing before him. The two are dated 20 July 1959 (1274) and 6 December 1959 (6885, 16718).

bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [546057] belong to telling lecture nids [1831]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1965 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1965 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 5 February 1965
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1965 to before 1965-02-05.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1831 (certain delivery 1965-02-05); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1965`, 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 1965-02-05 on nid 1831 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
