My Book about Abdullah, the Mysterious Mentor of Neville Goddard
This is Book 1 of a new series I've started that comes after over two years' worth of research. There's a Kindle version that's already live. The special red-print paperback (that puts all of Abdullah's quotes in red ink) will be available in the next few days, so keep checking back on Amazon for that!
Oh, I forgot, I already wrote a detailed description!
Here's what I put on Amazon:
Millions of people have heard of Neville Goddard and his famous Law of Assumption--and many have used his teachings to successfully manifest abundance, cars, health, homes, love, success, etc.--but few know anything of his mysterious mentor, Abdullah … until now!
This book not only shares brief biographical details about Professor Abdullah, but shares EVERYTHING you need to know to consciously manifest (and without having to “high vibe” or get into some vortex). I have personally combed through dozens of Neville’s books and lectures; I extracted portions that specifically mentioned Abdullah as well as excerpts in which the teachings were identical to teachings Neville had credited to Abdullah.
This book’s contents include, inter alia:
I found Abdullah while studying Black history.
I first came to “the Law” in the course of studying Black history in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. I had friends and community members of color on both sides of the political spectrum and I was desperate to understand how I could best support them when there was so much disagreement even among Black folx as to the best form of advocacy, solutions and particularly one’s role as a white woman. I couldn’t help but notice that those more outspoken and suffering from violent attacks (even in my hometown) were also experiencing greater economic disadvantages. With my friends’ support, I set out to learn and write about local Black history which quickly turned into a spiritual journey and study of Black spiritual leaders in history.
Abdullah’s way of living was so different from that of James Baldwin (who was just a boy in Harlem at the time Neville met Abdullah in Manhattan), that I was astounded. I had difficulty believing Abdullah was real at first because he seemed so “white” to me, but that’s how ignorant of history I was. Unlike Baldwin, who grew up in Harlem, Abdullah was born in Ethiopia (where even Black people in the ruling class identified as “white”) and—like King Menelik II—was likely the son of a Chankalla slave (or possibly a slave himself).
These teachings are based on sacred African Science, Kemetic and Hermetic principles.
Most people quickly recognize some of the other influences in Neville’s teachings, but they don’t realize the other STRONG influences like Ancient African Science, Kemetic and Hermetic principles. Abdullah NEVER charged Neville a dime. In fact, Abdullah FED Neville during the Depression (at a time when Neville was out of work and living in a rat-infested basement apartment) ...

This book not only shares brief biographical details about Professor Abdullah, but shares EVERYTHING you need to know to consciously manifest (and without having to “high vibe” or get into some vortex). I have personally combed through dozens of Neville’s books and lectures; I extracted portions that specifically mentioned Abdullah as well as excerpts in which the teachings were identical to teachings Neville had credited to Abdullah.
This book’s contents include, inter alia:
- Brief biographical information about Abdullah and some of his students
- LOTS of excerpts from Neville Goddard’s lectures that I organized according to topic, including notations about differences in narratives about the same stories.
- 7 lessons on manifesting that walk you through the famous “You are in Barbados” talk (and teach you how to manifest), but with an added spin of looking from Abdullah’s perspective as I want him to be known as the man he was and not just a legend.
- Abdullah’s famous affirmation that Neville Goddard modified and quoted in his lectures, as well as insights and instructions on how to use it.
- Abdullah’s “hearing before seeing” manifestation technique (that other coaches have adapted and call the “eavesdropping” or “gossip” method).
- Abdullah’s famous “Unity” prayer with insights from his favorite scripture passage (John 17) that he had his students commit to memory and recite at the end of meetings.
- 7 astral travel exercises
- Quotes by other New Thought and Science of Mind leaders on specific key points, including Garland Anderson (he invented milkshakes and was the first Black playwright).
- Extensive end notes.
- Examples from my own experience in applying these principles.
