A woman meets her deceased father in a vision
Description
A woman in Neville's audience told him her father had died about three weeks before this lecture. Following a technique he had used with a student twenty years earlier, Neville instructed her, two weeks later, to project herself forward one week to the coming Friday and feel the relief of knowing beyond doubt that her father lived on. A week after that, on a Thursday night, she had a vision in which she met her father -- proof to her, without recourse to any medium, that he had survived death.

Larry reports a vision to Neville in May 1964
Description
Neville tells his congregation that, alongside his friend Tom's account from that same day, his friend Larry had reported a vision to him a few days earlier. He treats both experiences as scriptural 'witnesses' -- part of the same unfolding preparation for the larger promised events (beginning with the resurrection and ending with the descent of the Holy Spirit as a dove) that he says have already been fulfilled within himself.
