Neville reads from a Sunday New York Times article describing an investment house, run by a man named Gardener, that avoided the market's 1970 downturn entirely by anticipating and preparing for a recession as early as the summer of 1968 — holding cash through the decline and buying back in at much lower prices once it bottomed out. He presents Gardener's foresight and mental preparation for the coming crash as itself an unconscious imaginal act that helped bring the outcome about.
