Neville experienced a mystical awakening that he later marked as his spiritual "birthday", said to have occurred at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco.

Place: San Francisco - Sir Francis Drake Hotel

Person: Neville Goddard

A CWB web article (node 2070) reproduces this same account, adding that Neville had 'read a bit of the Bible, a bit of William Blake' before retiring that night, and closes on a Blake couplet ('At length, for hatching ripe, he breaks the shell').
