Neville disciplines attention and imagination over years until he can summon inner light

Neville recounts his own long, deliberate discipline over years, letting nothing interfere, to gain mastery of his attention and imagination and to summon at will the inner lights that dawned and faded within him.

    Source Meditation ¶6qualifying source passages 553039; telling lecture nids 2098
    Reasoning Qualifying passage ids [553039] belong to telling lecture nids [2098]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1951 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1951 is the MIN across telling lectures.
  2. before July 1951 bound · possible

    Why Tightens, does not replace, the existing before-1951 (year precision) bound, which stands per append-only.
    Reasoning This is a lifelong-pattern statement, not a punctual occurrence, so it gets a bound rather than an exact date. The years-long discipline described precedes its telling; the telling is dated by the lecture's own broadcast dateline to July 1951, which is finer than the existing year-only 'before 1951' envelope bound (built from the catalog stub) and rests on real evidence, the passage's own dateline.

  3. c. July 1951 estimated · possible
    Source Meditationlecture nid 2098; delivery evidenced by its own header dateline 'Radio Talk 4, Station KECA, Los Angeles, July, 1951' (passage 553033), qualifier circa, confidence possible; the node's other delivery claim (1951-07, exact, certain) is catalogue backfill from catalog #8 ('copied without semantic change from linked historical event 12') and is not independent corroboration
    Why Corrects confidence and type only; date unchanged. Existing d0 (certain) stands per append-only.
    Reasoning The existing told claim (1951-07 exact/certain) was inherited from the node's catalog-backfill delivery claim, which the evidence hierarchy rules out as corroboration and cannot ground certain. The node's only independently-evidenced delivery date is the passage's own broadcast dateline, at circa/possible; a told claim cannot be more confident than the delivery claim it rests on.
