Neville recalls one of his own mystical experiences from his youth: shortly after turning twenty, he found himself immersed in what he calls an infinite sea of liquid light, and knew himself to be identical with it -- the experience he ties to Christ's words 'I am the Light of the world.' He notes the irony that this, chronologically his earliest such experience, corresponds to the last of the mystical states Mark's gospel records, while his most recent experience (a vision of the descending dove, on the first of that January) corresponds to Mark's earliest.
Date (happened)
1926
stated · preferred
Reasoning
Passage 547537, within lecture nid=1871, has Neville state directly: 'I had that in '26...infinite light and it's pulsing, living, golden, liquid light,' explicitly dating his own vision of infinite pulsing golden light to 1926.
between 19 February 1925 and 18 February 1927
estimated · probable
Reasoning
Neville's own age statement (20 or 21) combined with his certain birth date 1905-02-19 (hist_event 950) bounds the vision to the span from his 20th birthday to the day before his 22nd birthday, 1925-02-19 to 1927-02-18. Kept as a between range rather than an exact date because a whole-number age recalled decades later cannot be narrowed further.
1926
stated · probable
Reasoning
Neville states the year of this pulsing-light experience directly in his own words while recounting it from the platform. A directly stated year from the witness himself is the strongest evidence available, but as a personal recollection given roughly 45 years after the fact, with no month or day offered, it is capped at probable rather than certain.
c. March 1925
relative · probable
Reasoning
Neville dates this experience to just after his twentieth birthday. The corpus already carries an accepted, primary-document-confirmed birth date for him of 19 February 1905 (hist_event:950), so 'just turned twenty' places this circa February-March 1925. Kept at probable rather than certain since 'just turned' is not a precise interval past the birthday itself.
between 19 February 1925 and 18 February 1926
estimated · probable
Why
Age 20 spans 1925-02-19 to 1926-02-18 per birth anchor hist_event 950.
Reasoning
Neville dates his ocean-of-light mystical experience by his own age, 'when I turned twenty'. The corpus anchor for his birth (hist_event 950, 1905-02-19, certain) fixes his twentieth year as running from 1925-02-19 to 1926-02-18. Turning a specific age spans a year rather than a day, so the honest claim is a between-range, and since this is a self-recollection given from a platform roughly 39 years after the fact (the owning lecture is dated 1964-02-06 at certain), the derived claim is capped at probable rather than certain per the inheritance ceiling on decades-later recall. The previous pass, lacking the birth anchor, could not resolve 'twenty' to any year at all and returned no claim.
between 1926 and 1927
stated · probable
Why
Matches the event's own title ('at age twenty-one or twenty-two').
Reasoning
Neville states the year directly, though uncertain between two adjacent years: 1926 or 1927. He immediately corroborates this himself by age: 21 or 22, born 1905 -- 1905+21=1926 and 1905+22=1927, exactly matching the range he just gave. That internal self-consistency supports probable confidence for a between-range rather than a single exact year.
Told / reported
19 April 1963
estimated
Reasoning
The vision is recounted within this lecture; its delivery date (1963-04-19) is stated, certain, and corroborated across three independent claim rows, so the told date carries that same confidence.
19 November 1971
estimated · probable
Reasoning
Neville recounts this 1926 experience during this lecture; the lecture's own delivery date is probable via a chrome-harvested dateline (claim d2), so the telling cannot be more confident than that.
8 January 1963
estimated
Reasoning
Both delivery claims on this lecture agree exactly and independently (catalog plus transcript chrome dateline), with no conflicting rows and nothing in the processing notes disputing it. Written at certain confidence.
6 February 1964
estimated
Reasoning
The vision-of-liquid-light passage sits in lecture nid 1137, whose delivery date is fixed at 1964-02-06 by an uncontested chrome-dateline reading that also matches the catalogue entry; no conflicting claim exists on this node, so the telling date carries the full ceiling confidence of the delivery claim.
c. October 1968
estimated · possible
Reasoning
The same passage 547537 is Neville recounting this vision to the lecture audience within nid=1871 ('The Head, the Source'). The lecture's own delivery date is contested between two existing claims (1968-10-14, possible, preferred vs 1968-10-20, doubtful), both agreeing on October 1968, so the day is omitted here and confidence is capped at possible. || v1.1 type repair: written as `stated` by run v1.1/l4/actor417/8000-9999-b6, retyped `estimated` — the claim cites node 1871, not a passage, so it is this lane's inference rather than something Neville said in so many words (#2117).
