Neville tells his audience that 1959 was the year in which "God awoke" in him — his own personal awakening from spiritual sleep, which he sets alongside Blake's account of God's move from before Christ to after Christ, saying that in his own case the equivalent span was "1,959 years." He frames the moment as one of divine self-recognition: God discovering that the human image he had fallen in love with, and entered into as a dream, was himself all along.
