Neville says he has worn the wakened body since 1929, when he was embraced by the Risen Lord and they became one body and one Spirit, and that he has heard Him say He laid Himself down within him to sleep and dreamed a dream - which Neville understood as "I am dreaming I am Neville."
Date (happened)
-
between 19 February 1929 and 31 December 1929
estimated · probable
Reasoning
Neville states his age as 24 during this event. Using the corpus birth anchor (hist_event 950, 1905-02-19, certain), being 24 spans 1929-02-19 to 1930-02-18; intersected with the year 1929 already recorded for this event (both by the existing field_date claim and by this same passage's own 'It is 1929' statement), the window narrows to 1929-02-19..1929-12-31. This is a sub-year window derived by arithmetic on a decades-later recollection, so it is capped at probable rather than the certain of the existing year-only claim.
before 1972
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [549588] belong to telling lecture nids [1940]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1972 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1972 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 31 January 1972
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1972 to before 1972-01-31.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1940 (certain delivery 1972-01-31); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1972`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1972-01-31 on nid 1940 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
before 31 January 1972
bound
Reasoning
Passage 549588 speaks of the call, embrace, sending, upbringing, rejection of the former teaching, and later experiential confirmation in completed past-tense terms, so the event predates this telling. Carrier node 1940 is independently dated 1972-01-31 by matching catalogue and removed chrome dateline evidence, both certain. The passage supplies the event premise and the corroborated lecture date supplies the ceiling; neither link is weaker than certain.
between June 1929 and August 1929
estimated · probable
Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 030)
Reasoning
Passage 549588: 'I was called. I was embraced by the risen Lord and sent.' The 1929 call, embrace and sending are fixed in the chronology (events 6134, 7010, 18443, all 1929), with the vision itself placed June-August 1929 (events 769, 1300, 18117).
Told / reported
-
1971
estimated · probable
Reasoning
The event is recounted a second time in 'Invisible' (passages 550767 and 550792). The owning lecture's only delivery claim is a bare-year catalogue backfill with no independent corroboration (unlike lecture 1320's dual-sourced 1968-01-18), so this told claim inherits that weaker ceiling and is capped at probable, not certain.
