Neville met his wife in 1936 and knew at that very moment she would be his wife, telling her so although he had no social, intellectual or financial background to recommend him.

1936
stated
Reasoning
Passage 555473 states directly: 'I met my wife in 1936.' Independently corroborated by passage 549952 ('since the day I met her, back in 1936') and passage 555478 ('the day I met my wife in 1936') from a different lecture. All three are direct first-person statements, not inferences, and supersede the existing title-derived claim (probable, no real source).

8 May 1970
estimated
Reasoning
Passage 549333, in which Neville recounts meeting his wife in 1936, occurs in lecture nid=1930, whose delivery date of 1970-05-08 is certain: it agrees with the pre-Pass-0 chrome dateline ('by Neville Goddard 5/8/70'), the existing catalogue claim (catalog #632), and a third independent witness (deleted duplicate node 2110, a YouTube audio witness whose closing also gives 8 May 1970). || v1.1 type repair: written as `stated` by run v1.1/l4/actor417/8000-9999-b9, retyped `estimated` — the claim cites node 1930, not a passage, so it is this lane's inference rather than something Neville said in so many words (#2117).
8 May 1970
estimated
Reasoning
Passages 555473 and 555478, recounting meeting his wife in 1936, occur in lecture node 2200 ('He Is Dreaming Now'), whose preferred delivery date 1970-05-08 is independently corroborated twice (internal Hard Hat Riot reference and the archive's chrome dateline byline). This dates the telling, not the 1936 meeting itself. || v1.1 type repair: written as `stated` by run v1.1/l4/actor417/8000-9999-b10, retyped `estimated` — the claim cites node 2200, not a passage, so it is this lane's inference rather than something Neville said in so many words (#2117).

Why
Flag for another lane: this node's processing notes record it as a duplicate of node 1930 (same lecture, same body text), a dedup candidate.
Reasoning
Passage 555473 is Neville recounting, in the lecture itself, meeting his wife in 1936; the lecture is dated 1970-05-08 by an exact delivery claim (cross-confirmed by lecture nid 2194's 5 May 1970 date, which announces this lecture as upcoming), so the telling date inherits that precision.
