I don't think a lecture went by that he didn't say that I am not theorizing, I am not speculating. I have experienced scripture from the beginning to the end, and it's all true, and you're going to have the same experience.

Businessman reports three mystical experiences to Neville
Description
Returning from Barbados last month Neville found a letter from this man reporting his biggest business months ever, and three mystical experiences he valued above all the money in the world: moving bodiless through infinite space repeating 'God'; going in meditation through the doors of a club and an adjacent hospital to fuse with the infinite soul of God saying 'I and the father are one'; and seeing a flame consuming nothing, approached by Moses, Abraham and Paul, who merged into one being named Jesus, out of whose body he saw himself come.
