He reports that one of the friends who read the letter knew the writer well and said that seeing her signature made her believe every word of it.
He has read many attempted scholarly interpretations of David's water shaft, all of which conclude the passage makes no sense.
He says it was revealed to him what God hid from the beginning — the secret of fatherhood — since nothing but his own son standing before him and calling him Father could prove him a father.
He testifies that everything he has achieved came when he was faithful to the use of God's name, and admits many times of unfaithfulness and coasting.
Neville says he has read the many books written about the sin against the Holy Ghost and had them at home, but that having had the experience himself he now knows they were rationalising God's word.
He states from his own experience that he has seen that the whole world of apparent reality is Imagination.
He says he cannot share the inner events that happened to him but can share the unnumbered results in the world that followed his teaching that imagining creates reality.
Neville says he keeps over 900 letters at home from people who knew nothing of the teaching and who testify to deliberately entering a state and seeing it become real.
He was drafted into the army against his will, dropping from an income of $10,000-12,000 a year to $50 a month, while carrying a lease and supporting a wife and child.
He describes finding his own world a wild, unpruned tree of the blind and the lame, being told it did not exist independently of his perception, and then becoming the vinedresser who pruned it.
Speaking of the aftermath of the revelation, he describes from experience the excitement of it and how one bores one's friends because one can think of nothing else.

Description
Barry says Neville returned from a Barbados stay in terrible shape, having 'gone home to die,' asked Barry to take over his Los Angeles audience, and introduced him to a packed Women's University Club before leaving with wife 'Bill' and daughter for Barbados — after which the LA audience evaporated and Barry settled in Cambria. [Date evidence: coincides with Barry's move to Cambria — 'I moved here in 1963' (stated earlier in this transcript); chronology conflicts with Neville's documented LA lecturing until 1972] [Place: Women's University Club, Los Angeles]
Verbatim (witness's words)
When Neville came back from his stay in Barbados, he had gone home to die; he was in terrible shape. Everybody had told him he was going to last, and he, himself, didn’t believe he was going to, so he wanted me to take over his Los Angeles audience. That was when I came to Cambria, because it was half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco. [...] the night he introduced me to his Los Angeles audience, they were there in full force at the Women’s University Club, and it was full. O.K. The next day, he, Bill and their daughter went back to Barbados, and the next time I had maybe fifteen people there.
