Now, a lady recently shared a perfectly marvelous experience with me, saying: "I saw myself come out of myself as an old woman, holding a child in her arms. Although I saw her as another, I knew her as myself." This is a perfect vision of the 18th chapter of Genesis. Sarah was an old woman. ... This lady had the vision of Sarah, and will now have the experience of Mary and bear the promised child. That same night, as she closed her eyes, she saw a huge ear, a hammer, and a spike. As she watched, invisible hands drove the spike through the ear. Although she knew the ear was hers, it did not hurt. By that act, this lady fulfilled the 40th chapter of the Book of Psalms, for if you read the footnote you will see that ears will be bored for you. This is done for you to hear the word, coming uninterrupted from within.
Neville interprets the lady's vision of herself as an old woman holding a child as a fulfillment of the Sarah story (Genesis 18), signifying the birth of the promised child (divine promise) within her, despite natural impossibilities. The subsequent vision of 'ears bored' (Psalm 40) is interpreted as a mystical experience of having one's inner ear opened to hear the divine Word directly and continuously from within, marking a profound spiritual awakening.
