A witness sees through Neville's immortal eyes
Description
Two years ago Neville gave his immortal eyes to a lady who attends his lectures - in her vision he took his eyes from their sockets and placed them in hers; he chose her by wisdom from above though he knows her only at a distance, and lost nothing in the giving.
A later lecture (Fundamental Revelation: Jesus Christ in Us, nid 1495, delivered 1969-10-31) has Neville add that the recipient 'saw it only recently' and so bore witness to the gift herself (passage 541178); no specific date is recoverable for her vision beyond 'recently' as of that October 1969 telling.
