lecture nid 1110 'On the Book of Revelation' delivery date 1963-05-31, corroborated independently by catalog #160 and a chrome dateline recovered from the pre-strip transcript header ('By Neville Goddard May 31, 1963'); the node's other claim (1968-10-04) reflects a separate re-delivery of the same-titled talk per this lecture's own processing notes, not this transcript's own text.
Neville recalls the obstacle races his teachers set up as part of school life in Barbados: crawling through a length of canvas stretched tight and anchored on both sides, scrambling through barrels, jumping obstructions, and climbing a greased pole. He turns the ordeal into an allegory for life's own obstacle course, in which God plays both the hero and the opponent of the drama.
