At 15, bored at a friend's beach cottage on the windward side of Barbados, the witness was invited over by Neville and stayed about 10 days with Neville and Billy on the lee side of the island, swimming in clear water. [Date evidence: Witness aged 15 ("You’re 15, staying at your godfather’s beach cottage")] [Place: Barbados, lee side of the island]

When a network of Neville's San Francisco students branded Barry a fraud ('Neville never sent him'), Barry wrote to Neville and received back a letter — dictated to his wife, who always wrote the letters — 'Let no one dissuade you. My vision has never lied to me.' [Date evidence: early 1960, Barry's first struggling months in San Francisco] [Place: letter to San Francisco]

Neville's LP record album: Warden owned it for years (cover: Neville meditating on a park bench) until his wife gave it away; DeCarlo adds Neville said he sent the album to Nixon before Nixon became president. [Retold 2 times across the interviews.] [Date evidence: Neville's LP album reportedly sent to Nixon 'before he became president' — pre-January 1969; anchors the record to the 1960s.]

Five years before this lecture, a close friend of Neville's fell into financial ruin -- 'his world of Caesar collapsed upon him' -- and in that state owed Neville money. Rather than ever raising the debt, Neville periodically imagined the friend able to pay him back. The week of this lecture, feeling his prayer answered, he pictured a specific scene of the friend calling and visiting to repay him in person; two days after doing so, the friend called, came to this lecture that night, and afterward paid what he owed.

A man from the Midwest wrote Neville that his mother and brother had long suffered health problems, his brother emotionally disturbed and in and out of a Veterans' hospital since returning from the Second World War. For four years he mailed them metaphysical literature weekly, hoping the books would change their outlook, but neither ever read them. After hearing Neville teach that the whole of reality is himself, he stopped depending on their reading anything and instead took to holding an imagined letter in his hand, picturing the change he wanted for them within his own consciousness.

Neville tells of his tailor, who having learned the colour and cut he wanted told him to leave the making of the suit to him, imagining the suit before ever cutting the cloth.

Neville recalls a period some years back when his wife, feeling weak, seriously entertained the idea of dying and made arrangements for the disposal of her effects.

Neville tells of a New York beauty-parlor receptionist he knew who never grossed more than seventy-eight dollars a week; on his prompting she imagined in her bath that something wonderful was happening now, and within the week her wealthy bachelor friend settled a detached, tax-paid income of $550 a month on her; later, wanting a winter in Barbados she slept under a mosquito net and he gave her the winter in Barbados as a Christmas present, three years running.

A friend present at the lecture told him that eight years earlier she had given her small son the Sears Christmas Catalogue and called it a wish book, the neighbourhood children playing with it that way ever since - and now Sears has itself renamed its Christmas issue the Sears Wish Book; Neville keeps her letter and the notice she was mailed.

The same lady asked Neville's help about her bearded son in the State Department in the Near East; Neville told her to imagine kissing him and feeling smooth skin, and afterwards he saw the son clean-shaven in a New York Times social page photograph, though she credited the shave to a girl who disliked the beard rather than to her own imaginal act.

A friend present at the lecture, born to a devout Irish-Catholic family in Boston and first taught the law by Neville in San Francisco, started a small Ojai restaurant with $180 and heavy debts and built it to a business valued over a hundred thousand dollars, now expanding to San Francisco.

Barry moved to San Francisco on New Year's Day 1960, encouraged by Neville's confident vision that the audiences who had filled the Scottish Rite Auditorium for Neville would all come to Barry. [Date evidence: 1 January 1960; Barry's own lectures began 3 February 1960] [Place: San Francisco]

The first-person source states that Bernard and his mother drove Barry and his cocker spaniel to San Francisco on New Year's Day 1960; Neville had encouraged the move by predicting that his former Scottish Rite Auditorium audience would come to Barry.
