A former Christian Science patient lent Barry a jacketless library copy of a Neville book (Your Faith Is Your Fortune), dismissing it as 'manipulation and hypnotism'; Barry read it through the night and by 4 a.m. was walking his dog in Van Nuys seeing everything as transparent. [Date evidence: c. spring 1958 — weeks before Barry began attending in June; Barry then attended a full year before Neville's 1959 San Francisco trip and the 'Birth from Above'] [Place: Van Nuys, Los Angeles (Vespers Avenue)]

Everything was so transparent, I could see it all. And I thought, where have I been?
