Neville recounts having left his physical body and seen it from outside — on a chair, and on the bed in a state of catalepsy — while never being able to leave his imagination.
From his own experience of trying to share his visions with able, Ph.D-holding men, they dismiss it as hallucination rather than confess ignorance.
Neville states that he has himself experienced, many times over, wearing a body of light, wisdom, power and love, while still tied to a weak mortal body.
Neville says he has never been able to feel anyone his superior, though others surpass him physically, intellectually and financially.

Description
Two years earlier Neville gave his immortal eyes to a woman he knows only from his meetings; a week before this lecture she and a companion, sitting in a parked car after the lecture, had a series of visions - a coach, a majestic sword-bearing being, Neville stepping out and smiling, his own corpse burned on a cross down to a stump of molten gold - and the companion, in bed that night, saw the earth burst into flame and a serpent become a man in the cross. He read the account in a letter, and the first woman has since passed the eyes on to the woman sitting beside her tonight.
