A driver experiences universal light and hears All is one

A friend present at the lecture told him that about ten years earlier, while driving, everything became nothing but light with infinity falling in tiny tadpole-like forms, he heard within him "All is one," stopped the car by reflex, and told the angry passing drivers that everything was all right; Neville tells him he was genuinely illumined and instructs him how to arrest one of the falling lights.

    Why Existing d0 claim carries no year at all; this supplies the finer circa-year the packet's own arithmetic supports.
    Reasoning The friend gives his own experience as roughly ten years before the telling. The lecture's delivery date is stated (certain) as 1966-11-28, both from the transcript's own chrome dateline and an independent internal inference (Rockefeller's election, the meeting schedule); ten years before that is circa 1956. Kept at probable rather than certain because 'approximately ten years' is itself a rounded figure, not an exact interval.

    Why field_told previously had no claims at all.
    Reasoning The friend tells Neville and the audience the story live within this lecture, so the telling and the lecture's delivery are the same moment; the certain delivery claim sets the ceiling for this derived told claim.
