Describing the mystical sequence that followed his July 1959 'birth from above,' Neville recounts that 129 days later -- in an explosion within his own skull -- he found himself seated at a table with a severed head before him, and then saw a boy of unearthly beauty leaning in an open doorway, looking at him. He identifies this figure as David, the 'son' and 'prince' spoken of in scripture, whom every person will eventually discover within themselves as part of the same permanent, continuous drama.
