I suffered a lot by not listening to that when I heard it from Neville Goddard. I heard exactly what he said, and I even kind of knew what he said. All I had to do was just test it. That's what he told me. Everything I told you, all you have to do is just test it.

[Date evidence: Witness aged 15 ("You’re 15, staying at your godfather’s beach cottage")] [Place: Barbados, lee side of the island]
Verbatim (witness's words)
I’d gone to Barbados with a friend from school. His dad had a place on a remote beach, the windward side of the island. We had it to ourselves for two weeks and were bored out of our skulls. It was a relief when Neville invited me over. I stayed with him and Billy about 10 days. They were over on the lee side, the water was super clear, great for swimming.
