Neville develops a mystical inclination in childhood

In discussing his own experience with LSD, Neville mentions that a physician friend, aware that Neville had been mystically inclined since childhood, wanted to test the drug's effects on him under observation, with Aldous Huxley originally set to watch (though Huxley fell ill and could not attend). Neville and two observers proceeded with the maximum dose, and he reports the experience as nothing like its reputation -- pure distortion rather than genuine mystical insight.

    Why This is an onset estimate for an ongoing trait, not a discrete happening.
    Reasoning 'Since I was a child' describes a lifelong trait rather than a single dated event; using Neville's own birth date (person 6, born 1905-02-19), an early-childhood year (circa age 5) is used as a loose representative estimate for when the inclination first appeared, not a precise year.
