Neville tells his audience that the coming month will mark twelve years since his own mystical experience -- his 'birth from above' of July 1959 -- and uses the anniversary to affirm that everyone will eventually undergo the identical awakening: the return of memory in which 'Godhood returns' and the amnesia of ordinary consciousness vanishes. He frames the experience as something known from direct personal experience, not speculation or a philosophy he wishes to establish.
