Neville's visionary experiences begin in 1959

Reflecting on a letter he received the previous Tuesday night from a man in his audience, Neville says that the man is now in the same state of 'spiritual shock' that has left Neville himself permanently changed since 1959 -- an experience so profound that a person can no longer be the self their friends once knew. He then relates the letter itself: lying in a semi-trance, the man fell into a deeper state and, in what felt like an instantaneous journey of a million miles, discovered his own being to be the 'womb of the universe,' containing a female element he had never before been aware of in himself.

1965-01-29 [exact/certain/final] The Womb of the Universe Now let me tell you a story as told me in a letter last Tuesday night. When I got home I had the letter with me and before I retired I read it. I can’t tell you my thrill! I know that he, the one who had the experience, is now in spiritual shock, just as I was in spiritual shock and remain there since 1959. For when these things happen to you you’re not the same person. You’re not the being that your friends think you are; something entirely different has happened. You walk as though you were the same person, but you’re not the same person. You can’t be the same person. So I know that he is… 532631
