    Source No Other Foundation ¶20passages 539036/539037 (nid 1394): 'for seven years I was a strict vegetarian... celibate... before leaving for Barbados, my friend Ab said... when I returned, I had died to everything I had not done for the previous seven years'; end-anchor corroborated by passage 527381 (nid 989) and existing hist_event:19860, which independently date Neville's decision to leave for Barbados to November 1933.
    Why Start year (1926) is arithmetic (1933 minus seven), not independently attested; end year rests on a different lecture's corroborated dating of the same Barbados episode, not on this event's own witness passage.
    Reasoning The passage gives only a duration (seven years) and two relative anchors (before/after the Barbados trip), not calendar dates. The Barbados trip itself is independently dated elsewhere in the corpus to November 1933, so the seven-year ascetic period is estimated to run circa 1926 to circa 1933, ending on his return. This is the happening date range, not the 1968 telling date.

    Source No Other Foundationdelivery claims on lecture nid 1394: catalog #487 and an independent chrome-scraped byline '(11-04-1968)', both 1968-11-04; a third claim of 1969-10-16 is doubtful, directly contradicted by this transcript's own internal dateline.
    Reasoning The lecture whose passage carries this telling is dated 1968-11-04 by two independently sourced certain claims; the sole dissenting claim (1969-10-16) is itself marked doubtful and contradicted.
