A woman wrote to Neville describing a vision in which a being cursed her unspeakably and, asked why, replied "Because I want you!"; Neville answers her from the platform, explaining the curse as a personified religious institution losing her.

Returning from Barbados this year Neville found a letter waiting from a friend (present at this lecture) containing two stories: how the friend imagined abundance for a hard-up office colleague who then came into an inheritance, and how he imagined success for a barber who then topped his class and bought the shop.

A friend of theirs with a home in the Valley, Cathy, painted her kitchen, found the bill over estimate, told her mother she wanted money, and then won $800, a piano and a two-week trip for two to St. Thomas on a television show Neville was told to watch at 10:30 on Channel 4.

Neville recounts that his friend Bob's experiences came in the same chronological order as his own, though Bob did not date his letter, and says he is now waiting for Benny's next experience about the 6th of March of next year.

A woman friend followed his lectures from place to place and wrote to tell him that at each lecture she became so excited her heart began to split.

Neville reads and then re-tells a letter from a very dear friend who woke at six in the morning, heard a thunderous inner voice declaring "I AM GOD! I AM SELF-CONTAINED! I AM SELF SUFFICIENT!", fell asleep and found himself in an infinite desert where he threw golf balls that instantly created homes, a putting green and a gate, but could not release the ball over a scene from the past until he persisted, whereupon a dilapidated house became a modern hotel and a decayed streetcar a streamlined bus, and finally transformed sloppily dressed young people on a Miracle Mile-like street into elegant ladies and gentlemen.

A woman friend sent Neville a series of four consecutive nightly dreams — finding a watch called a treasure in a paper bag, moving as if on wheels, following him to his lectures into an ivy-covered building, and finally entering a white house her father had built where Neville taught her alone and announced “My name is Friday,” which she answered means “O my darling.”

Neville describes Doris, the Catholic woman who cleans his home every Monday, and how he consoled her about a friend's smashed car by telling her that God made her and only man makes cars, which changed her life.

Neville speaks of Kim's death: he was a dentist who taught dentistry at USC and the best dentist Neville knew, he was only fifty when he left this world, and Neville says he is now restored in his early twenties in the same terrestrial world, unaware of being dead.
