The vision Neville gives as the experience behind Galatians 2:20. He is in a pilgrimage moving over some invisible Mecca with thousands of people - the most colourful crowd in the world, with nothing on a screen comparable to it - when a voice out of the blue announces: And God walks with them. Someone at his side asks where he is, and the voice returns: At your side. They look into his face and become hysterical that a normal man, with all the weaknesses of a man, could be God, and the voice answers them: Yes, in the act of waking. Then a voice no one else hears comes from the depth of his own soul - I laid myself down within you to sleep, and as I slept I dreamed a dream, I dreamed I am you - and at that moment he is sucked back into the body on the bed, his hands, feet, head and right side turning into whirling vortexes. He insists the nailing is not pain but a whirling joy, and that the exchange in the crowd always repeats itself in the same way, so it is told as a fixed sequence rather than a private memory. Related to but distinct from the cross as technique (M605 nailed-upon-the-cross-of-man), which teaches the fixing; this is the crucifixion undergone.

And God walks with them
Yes, in the act of waking
I laid myself down within you to sleep, and as I slept I dreamed a dream, I dreamed
It’s a whirling joy as you are nailed once more to this body

a voice shouted out of the blue; the voice said, “And God walks with them.” A woman to my right—a woman I would say in her thirties, maybe forties, a most attractive Arab—asked the voice, “If God walks with us, where is he?”
