    Source Unless I Go Away ¶15delivery claim d1 on lecture nid 2271: speaker dates his birth-from-above experience to 20 July, three years before this lecture; that experience is 1959 per the lecture's own evidence, yielding 1962
    Reasoning The event (the April 1959 vision) is recounted in lecture 2271, whose own delivery is sharpened to exact year 1962 (certain) by the speaker's own three-years-before-1959 self-dating, stronger than the coarser stated/probable circa-1962 claim on the same lecture. This is the telling date, distinct from the already-correct April 1959 happening date.
