Abdullah and the Law of Assumption
Abdullah’s method is simple and surgical: assume the end and persist until facts match. It’s how he trained Neville Goddard—think “you are in Barbados”—to treat desire like a no-little-pregnancy: conceive it in imagination, stop checking, and let the bridge of incidents unfold. For the full story and a practical applications of The Law you can use today, see Abdullah Unveiled.
Introduction: Neville Goddard’s Lasting Impact on Manifestation
Neville Goddard stands as one of the most influential spiritual teachers in the realm of manifestation and the Law of Attraction. Born in Barbados in 1905 and later immigrating to the United States, Neville became known for his powerful teachings on the creative power of imagination. Over a career spanning decades, he developed a devoted following by reinterpreting biblical principles as guides to manifesting one’s desires. Concepts such as “assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled” and “imagination creates reality” are now foundational in manifestation circles, thanks largely to Neville’s work. Modern self-help luminaries – from New Thought ministers like Reverend Ike to bestselling authors like Rhonda Byrne (The Secret) and Wayne Dyer – have acknowledged Neville’s influence on their own understanding of how our thoughts shape our reality.
Neville’s lasting impact lies in how he reframed the Law of Attraction as a practical, mystical process accessible to anyone. While many in the manifestation movement speak of “like attracting like” or the power of positive thinking, Neville went deeper. He taught that our consciousness is the only reality, and that by changing our assumptions and inner conversations, we change the world around us. His lectures and books – from Feeling Is the Secret to The Power of Awareness – emphasize that we do not manifest what we want; we manifest who we are in consciousness. This nuanced approach, often called the Law of Assumption, has empowered countless people to take charge of their lives from the inside out.
But where did Neville get this profound wisdom? Behind the success and fame of Neville Goddard was a guiding figure, a mentor whose influence was both enigmatic and immense. To truly understand Neville’s teachings on imagination and assumption, we must step back to the early 1930s and meet the man who taught Neville how to assume the wish fulfilled. That man was Abdullah – Neville’s spiritual teacher and the unsung hero in the story of the Law of Assumption.
The Mentor Appears: Who Was Abdullah?
In the bustling spiritual scene of New York City during the Great Depression, Neville crossed paths with an unforgettable mentor known simply as Abdullah. Little is documented about Abdullah’s life, and he remains a mysterious figure in history – part legend, part reality – kept alive through Neville’s recollections. By Neville’s account, Abdullah was an Ethiopian-born Jew who had emigrated to the United States and immersed himself in the study of spiritual truths. He was often affectionately called “the Ethiopian Rabbi,” reflecting his heritage and his deep knowledge of Hebrew scripture and Kabbalah (the mystical branch of Judaism).
When Neville first attended one of Abdullah’s talks in 1931, the encounter felt like destiny. As the story goes, Neville walked into a Manhattan lecture hall and was greeted by a charismatic older man in a turban with eyes “alight with ancient wisdom.” The stranger looked at him and spoke as if picking up a conversation already in progress: “Neville, you are six months late.” Startled, Neville asked how this man knew his name and how he could be “late” without ever having met him. Abdullah simply smiled and said, “The brothers told me you were coming, and you are six months late.” This cryptic greeting hinted at Abdullah’s psychic intuition or perhaps communication with unseen spiritual “brothers.” It was as if Abdullah had been expecting Neville as a student on his path. This marked the beginning of one of the great spiritual mentorships of the modern age.
Abdullah’s presence was commanding and larger-than-life. Neville described his teacher as “black as the ace of spades,” a proud man of African heritage who carried himself with regal dignity. In an era of rampant racial segregation and prejudice, Abdullah moved through New York society entirely on his own terms. He famously refused to let racial barriers hinder him. For instance, when attending the opera or a Broadway show in those days, Black patrons were typically restricted to the balcony. Abdullah would have none of that. He would stride confidently to the box office and request two prime seats in the center orchestra section, often with Neville in tow, and insist on being treated with respect. By Neville’s account, theater clerks would comply, saying, “Yes, sir,” as Abdullah secured excellent seats that defied the unjust norms of the time. Abdullah’s aura of sovereignty was palpable – he knew who he was beyond the physical labels society might impose, and the world seemed to rearrange itself around his self-assured presence. This was one of the first living lessons he imparted to Neville: carry yourself as a child of the Divine, and external circumstances will bow to that inner conviction.
Despite his lofty wisdom, Abdullah was very much grounded in the joys of life. Neville’s stories paint a picture of a teacher who was stern yet loving, wise yet utterly human. Abdullah lived in a comfortable apartment on West 72nd Street (rented from a wealthy benefactor) and welcomed Neville into both his study and his dining room. Over the five years Neville studied with him, Abdullah imparted esoteric knowledge by day and demonstrated joie de vivre by night. He was not a detached ascetic but a man who enjoyed good food, music, and even a good drink. Neville, who at the time was a strict vegetarian and teetotaler, was shocked to find his spiritual teacher indulging in hearty meals of meat, washing them down with ale and generous pours of rye whiskey, followed by decadent bowls of ice cream for dessert. When Neville expressed astonishment – “Ab, how can you do that?” – Abdullah chided him for his “quibbles”. “You couldn’t do it – it would poison you, because you have quibbles,” Abdullah laughed, explaining that “God made everything. You think God made some things and not others? If God made all, nothing is unclean in itself.” In other words, Abdullah taught Neville not to judge by appearances or adopt rigid rules in the name of spirituality. True spirituality was a matter of inner realization, not outer restrictions.
This colorful mix of traits – uncompromising faith, fearless self-respect, broad-minded joy, and deep scriptural wisdom – made Abdullah a one-of-a-kind teacher. He became a father figure to Neville (indeed, Neville would affectionately call him “Ab” as a nickname, meaning father). Abdullah educated Neville in the hidden meanings of the Bible, teaching him Hebrew and the mystical interpretation of scripture. Under Abdullah’s tutelage, Neville learned to see the Bible as an allegory of the human imagination rather than a literal history. All these lessons would soon converge in a practical demonstration – an extraordinary test of Neville’s ability to put the Law of Assumption into practice. Abdullah was about to show his student, in no uncertain terms, how imagination creates reality.
The Barbados Lesson: Living in the End to Manifest the Impossible
The most famous story of Neville’s life – the one that solidified his understanding of the Law of Assumption – unfolded in the winter of 1933. Neville was living in New York City, struggling financially after the Great Depression had left him and many others out of work. As Christmas approached, he found himself longing to visit his family back home in Barbados. It had been over a decade since he had left the island, and now the desire to return for the holidays became a “hungry, haunting desire.” The only problem: Neville was penniless. He could not afford the steamship passage to Barbados. In desperation, he confided in his mentor.
“Ab, I really want to go to Barbados,” he lamented, “but I haven’t a cent to my name.” Abdullah’s reaction was completely unexpected. He looked Neville in the eye and declared calmly: “You are in Barbados.”
Neville blinked in confusion. Here he was, standing in the cold autumn of New York City, very much not in Barbados. “I am in Barbados?” he questioned, thinking perhaps he had misheard Abdullah.
“Yes,” Abdullah answered with utter conviction. “You are now in Barbados. And because you are in Barbados, you see the world from Barbados. That means you look out and see America as something afar off, across the ocean, as if you were in your family home back in Barbados.” He instructed Neville to fall asleep each night feeling as though he were already in his childhood bedroom in Barbados, thousands of miles away, instead of in his tiny New York apartment. Neville was to assume, in imagination, that his trip had already happened and he was joyously home.
The young student initially found this advice baffling, even absurd. The vivid contrast between New York’s skyscrapers and Barbados’ modest, palm-lined streets made the idea seem almost laughable. Yet, Abdullah’s tone was so matter-of-fact and authoritative that Neville decided to give the technique a try. That very night, Neville followed his teacher’s instruction: he fell asleep in imagination in Barbados, convincing himself that when he looked out in the morning, he would see the familiar sights of Bridgetown and feel the warm Caribbean breeze. Night after night, Neville persisted in this imaginative act, “living” in Barbados in his mind and feeling the relief and joy of being with his family for Christmas.
As days turned into weeks, however, external reality hadn’t yet caught up. By late November, Neville was feeling discouraged. He had vividly imagined being in Barbados every night, yet he was still waking up to the gray winter of New York. “Ab, nothing has happened,” he complained to Abdullah, hoping for guidance or at least some comfort.
But Abdullah would not indulge doubt or discussion. When Neville tried to talk about the lack of progress, Abdullah effectively shut him down. On one occasion, he quite literally turned his back on Neville and slammed the door of his study, ending the conversation before it even began. Abdullah’s refusal to entertain Neville’s worries was deliberate – it was his way of drilling into Neville the principle of faithfulness to the assumption. As Neville later explained, Abdullah would not discuss “how can I go to Barbados when I am already in Barbados?” To Abdullah’s way of thinking, Neville’s imaginal act meant the deed was done. Any discussion of “if” or “how” only introduced doubt, which was unacceptable.
This is where Abdullah unveiled one of his most memorable teachings, using a striking metaphor to get his point across. When Neville sought more reassurance, Abdullah gave him a blunt but profound analogy: “There is no such thing as a little pregnancy. No such thing,” he said. “If you did it, then you’re pregnant. Let the child grow. And interference with it is going to be a miscarriage.” In that one colorful image, Neville suddenly grasped the “all or nothing” nature of assumption. Just as a woman cannot be halfway pregnant – she either is or isn’t – you cannot half-believe in your wish’s fulfillment. Either you have assumed the state of the wish fulfilled, or you have not. And if you have, then just as surely as a pregnant mother knows the baby is coming in due time, you must know your manifestation is on its way. Any doubts, worries, or attempts to “peek behind the curtain” would be like digging up a seed or, as Abdullah said, causing a miscarriage of the desire.
This “pregnancy of desire” concept became a cornerstone of Neville’s philosophy. Abdullah was teaching Neville that every desire, once sincerely assumed as reality in the imagination, is a seed planted in the subconscious. It will gestate unseen until the appointed hour when it blooms into fact. The key is to avoid mental interference – no fretting, no second-guessing, no “half-belief.” Abdullah’s stern instruction was to carry the desire in faith until it manifests, just as an expecting mother carries her child to term. Neville later echoed this lesson to his own students many times: do not “check” constantly for evidence or worry about the means by which your wish will come to pass. Simply persist in the feeling that it is done, and allow the bridge of incidents to unfold that will lead you to your goal.
Abdullah’s uncompromising faith might have seemed harsh to Neville in the moment, but it proved incredibly effective. In early December 1933, as Neville continued to imagine being in Barbados, events finally snapped into alignment. Out of the blue, Neville received an unexpected letter from a brother in Barbados. Inside was $50 (a considerable sum at the time) and a ticket for passage on a ship to Barbados – his family insisted that he come home for Christmas, and they had made all the arrangements. Neville was astonished. This was the miracle he had been imagining, materialized through completely unforeseen circumstances.
Overjoyed, he rushed to tell Abdullah the good news. At last, physical proof had arrived! “Ab, it worked – I’m going to Barbados!” Neville exclaimed, and then added that the only ticket available had been Third Class. Even this detail, however, Abdullah had already accounted for in his imagination. With a slight frown, Abdullah responded, “Who told you that you are going to Barbados? And who told you that you went to Barbados third class? You went to Barbados, and you went First Class.” Neville fell silent as Abdullah once again shut the door, refusing to hear any contrary facts. In Abdullah’s assumption, Neville’s journey was perfect – and that meant first class accommodations, not third.
Sure enough, on the day of departure, as Neville went to board the ship, the ticket agent informed him that a First Class berth had opened up at the last minute. Neville was upgraded to First Class for the entire voyage, at no extra cost. Exactly as Abdullah had envisioned, Neville sailed to Barbados in style, arriving in time to spend a “heavenly” Christmas with his family. The power of assumption had manifested not only the trip itself but also the quality of the experience.
This Barbados story became the template for Neville’s teachings on the Law of Assumption. It encapsulated every key principle: imagining from the end, unwavering faith, and the creative power of feeling reality from within. Neville would often recount this story in his lectures to illustrate how precisely imagination governs reality. He summed up the lesson in one pithy quote: “It is not what you want that you attract; you attract what you believe to be true.” In other words, Neville hadn’t attracted the trip by mere wishing – he had assumed it as true (under Abdullah’s guidance), and so life had no choice but to mirror that inner conviction.
When Neville returned to New York after his Barbados vacation, he was a changed man. Abdullah greeted him with a knowing glint and another cryptic remark: “You will have died before you come back.” Indeed, a part of Neville had died – his old self of limited thinking and doubt was gone, replaced by a new self who knew through personal experience that imagination creates reality. Neville’s former impoverished, anxious mindset had been left behind on that island. In its place was a deep faith in the unseen and an unshakeable confidence in the Law of Assumption. Abdullah had not only taught Neville a theory; he had led him through a living initiation into spiritual mastery.
“No Half-Pregnancy”: The Power of Full Assumption
One of the most empowering insights from Abdullah’s mentorship is encapsulated in that earthy phrase: “no such thing as a little pregnancy.” This notion might raise a chuckle, but it holds profound wisdom about manifesting desires. Abdullah’s pregnancy metaphor continues to resonate with spiritual seekers because it paints a clear picture of what commitment to a vision truly means.
Think about it: when a woman becomes pregnant, she can’t be “just a little” pregnant. From the moment of conception, an invisible process is underway that, given time and proper care, will result in the undeniable reality of a child. The mother knows the baby is coming even though she cannot see it yet; she trusts the process and prepares for the new arrival with joyful expectancy. She doesn’t wake up every day panicking that nothing is happening just because she can’t feel the baby move in the first weeks. She doesn’t rush to the doctor each day demanding proof that she’ll really give birth. She simply allows the natural gestation to unfold, taking care of herself and avoiding anything that might harm the growing life within.
Abdullah taught that we must treat our assumed desires like pregnant seeds in the womb of creation. The moment you imagine your wish fulfilled and truly feel that it is done, conception has taken place on the unseen plane. Your desire now exists in the invisible realm of imagination, and it will move into form as long as you don’t sabotage it through doubt or worry. Just as an expectant mother wouldn’t consume poison that could hurt her baby, a manifestor must avoid mental toxins like fear, disbelief, and negative thoughts that can kill a budding manifestation. In practical terms, “no half-pregnancy” means you either believe in your desire’s fulfillment or you don’t – there’s no in-between. A mind that oscillates between faith and doubt, or only believes “a little bit,” is like a pregnancy that’s constantly interrupted; such a desire struggles to survive. But a mind that steadfastly nurtures its wish, day by day, with complete trust, is akin to a healthy pregnancy that inevitably brings forth new life.
Neville would often remind his audiences of this lesson by recounting Abdullah’s words: “If you did it (assumed it), then you’re pregnant. Let the child grow.” He urged them not to keep checking and digging up the seed to see if it’s sprouting. The bridge of incidents – the chain of seemingly natural events that lead to the manifestation – will occur without your conscious meddling. Your job is simply to remain faithful to the state of the wish fulfilled. Every time you find yourself questioning “How is this ever going to happen?” or lamenting “It’s been so long, maybe it’s not working,” remember Abdullah’s metaphor. Ask yourself: Am I being a faithful mother to my idea, or am I risking a miscarriage with doubt? This vivid standard keeps one’s manifesting practice on course. It calls for 100% commitment – an inner knowing that what you imagined is already real, and will be born into the 3D world in its own perfect timing.
From Assumption to Attraction: Abdullah’s Teachings and the Law of Attraction
Abdullah’s teachings through Neville have deepened our understanding of what many people refer to as the Law of Attraction. In the mainstream, the Law of Attraction is often described as the idea that your thoughts and feelings attract corresponding experiences – “think good thoughts and good things happen,” in simplistic terms. While this principle gained wide popularity through books and films like The Secret, it sometimes left people puzzled or even frustrated when positive thinking alone didn’t yield results. Abdullah’s Law of Assumption provides a missing piece by shifting the focus from mere thinking to being.
The Law of Assumption states that you attract what you are – what you assume to be true deep inside – rather than what you simply want. Abdullah drilled this into Neville by making him be a man in Barbados rather than a man who wished to go to Barbados. This subtle but powerful shift transforms manifestation from a passive wish into an active identification with the fulfilled desire. Instead of saying “I want this to happen,” Neville learned to say (to himself) “It has happened.” Instead of wanting, he was taught to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, to occupy that reality in imagination. This is a more advanced understanding of the Law of Attraction, one that addresses the common pitfall of wanting something so badly that you end up reinforcing the feeling of not having it. Desire alone can be tinged with lack, but assumption is full of faith and completion. As Neville succinctly put it, “You must make your future dream a present fact by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled.”
Another aspect Abdullah emphasized, which enriches the Law of Attraction philosophy, is the importance of persistence and not settling for half-measures. Consider the detail of the first-class ticket: Neville was ready to accept a third-class passage gratefully – after all, it still got him to his destination. But Abdullah understood a key spiritual principle: the Universe meets us at our level of expectation. By insisting Neville had gone first class, he was teaching that one should not compromise in imagination or accept unnecessary limitations. If you’re going to imagine, imagine the best! This doesn’t mean greed or vanity; it means recognizing that no desire is too grand when you realize you are creating from within. Abdullah’s unwavering stance demonstrated that the outer world will adjust to fulfill exactly what we assume – nothing less. If Neville had continued to carry any sense of inferiority or unworthiness (such as believing he only deserved third class), perhaps that upgrade would never have occurred. Abdullah wouldn’t allow Neville to hold even a subtle assumption of lack.
In relating Abdullah’s lessons to broader Law of Attraction ideas, one can see that he essentially taught Neville how to properly “ask” and “receive” by aligning completely with the desired state. Modern LOA teachers often speak about getting into the “vibrational frequency” of what you want. Abdullah’s phrase “live in the end” is saying the same thing: embody the joy and satisfaction of already having your wish. In today’s terms, Abdullah might say you have to “act as if” with total conviction, not just visualize casually. It is full-faith living in your inner world, which then calls forth the equivalent outer experience.
It’s also worth noting that Abdullah’s influence extended beyond Neville. Another New Thought author, Joseph Murphy (famous for The Power of Your Subconscious Mind), also studied with Abdullah. Murphy acknowledged that an “old Ethiopian rabbi” in New York taught him some of the very techniques he later popularized. For example, Murphy often told a story of a man who solved his problems by imagining a “happy ending” each night and then letting it be – which strongly echoes Abdullah’s methodology. In essence, Abdullah was a behind-the-scenes architect of a certain strain of New Thought teaching that underscored the subconscious mind’s creative role. The Law of Attraction works through the subconscious, and Abdullah showed Neville and others how to impress the subconscious mind through imagination and feeling.
Today, many people in manifesting communities explicitly differentiate between general Law of Attraction and Neville’s Law of Assumption, precisely because of Abdullah’s legacy. The Law of Assumption is seen as a more direct and potent practice: rather than hoping the universe will attract what you want if you stay positive, you assume the universe is already responding, because it’s a done deal within you. This empowers the individual to be a conscious creator, taking responsibility for their inner state first and foremost. Abdullah’s teachings remind us that faith is an active force – a conviction so strong that it carries one forward even when there’s no physical evidence yet. It’s this deeper dimension of LOA that has caused a resurgence of interest in Neville’s work in recent years, as people seek more substantial techniques to bring their dreams to fruition.
Abdullah’s Legacy and Modern Interpretations
Though Abdullah himself never wrote a book or went on speaking tours (at least not that we know of), his legacy lives on robustly through the students he taught and the stories they passed down. In many ways, Abdullah is a hidden pillar of modern manifestation teachings. His name might not be as widely known as “Neville Goddard” or “Law of Attraction,” but whenever you hear someone insist on living in the end, or using mental imagery with total conviction, you are witnessing Abdullah’s influence in action.
The character of Abdullah as remembered by Neville has become something of a spiritual archetype – the wise, sometimes irascible mentor who refuses to accept his pupil’s weakness and insists they stand in their power. Readers and listeners who encounter Neville’s accounts of Abdullah often find them both entertaining and inspiring. Who can forget the image of the dignified black mystic slamming the door in the face of doubt, or enjoying his whiskey and ice cream while expounding scripture? Abdullah breaks the mold of what a “spiritual guru” is supposed to look like. He was earthy and humorous, yet profoundly enlightened. This combination is incredibly encouraging to modern seekers, as it shows that spirituality isn’t about conforming to an austere lifestyle or putting on pious airs. It’s about mastering your mind and inner state. Abdullah could quote the Bible in Hebrew one moment and joke about “little pregnancies” the next, but all of it was aimed at driving home the truth of our own creative power.
Historically, there has even been curiosity about Abdullah’s true identity. Some researchers speculate that “Abdullah” might have been a pseudonym or composite for real figures active in Harlem’s spiritual scene in the 1920s-30s. One candidate often mentioned is Rabbi Arnold Josiah Ford, a Barbados-born black Jewish leader who lived in New York and later moved to Ethiopia. Ford did wear a turban, teach Hebrew, and was of African descent – uncannily similar to Neville’s teacher – but timelines and details conflict, so the mystery remains. Others simply accept that Abdullah was exactly who Neville said he was – an Ethiopian Jew with great mystical insight. In truth, the legend of Abdullah has taken on a life of its own, and perhaps that’s fitting. Whether or not all anecdotes are 100% historically provable, the spiritual truth they convey is what endures. Abdullah symbolizes the power of a mentor to awaken latent greatness in another. If Neville Goddard became a master teacher, it was because Abdullah first ignited that flame and demanded that Neville keep it burning.
In modern manifestations of these teachings – be it via YouTube channels, podcasts, or blogs – Abdullah is frequently cited with reverence. His famous lines have become mantras for a new generation of conscious creators. When you hear someone remind themselves “no half-measures – you can’t be a little bit pregnant with your dream” or someone advising a friend to assume the wish fulfilled and then let it go, you know Abdullah’s legacy is alive and well. There is even a growing movement of people seeking to compile and reconstruct Abdullah’s teachings from Neville’s lectures, almost like spiritual detectives piecing together a precious text. Some have created fictionalized dialogues or written books imagining Abdullah’s perspective, all as a way to honor the man who “forged the master.”
At the heart of these modern interpretations is a sense of empowerment and responsibility. Abdullah’s approach doesn’t allow for passivity. It demands that we engage our God-given faculty of imagination and take responsibility for our assumptions. This empowerment is incredibly modern in its ethos – it places the creative authority squarely in the individual’s hands (or rather, mind). In a world where it’s easy to feel victim to circumstances, such teachings are a clarion call reminding us that we are the operant power. Abdullah, through Neville, tells us that external circumstances are secondary; the real work happens within. Change your assumptions, and your world must conform.
Conclusion: Embrace the Law of Assumption in Your Life
The story of Abdullah and Neville Goddard is more than a historical anecdote – it’s a timeless testimony to the miraculous possibilities that open up when one applies the Law of Assumption with full faith. From a cramped apartment in depression-era New York to a first-class voyage across the Atlantic, we see that no circumstance is too big to shift, no desire too grand to attain, once you truly believe. The spiritual tone of this lesson is clear: “According to your faith, be it unto you.” Abdullah, the wise mentor, showed by example that when you walk by faith and not by sight, reality eventually mirrors the conviction held in your imagination.
Now, it is up to each of us to take this wisdom and apply it in our own lives. You don’t need a mystic teacher standing in front of you to begin – consider Neville’s experience as your personal instruction passed down through time. Is there something your heart deeply yearns for? A goal, a change, an experience that calls to you? Instead of hoping it will happen someday, dare to adopt Abdullah’s approach. This means:
- Imagine boldly and specifically. Close your eyes and construct a scene that implies you have exactly what you desire. Make it as vivid as you can: engage your senses and conjure the sights, sounds, and feelings of that fulfilled dream. Be specific: like Neville feeling the tropical air of Barbados and seeing the world from that perspective, put yourself inside your wish.
- Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Don’t observe the scene as an outsider; enter it. How would you feel if it were true right now? Feel that gratitude, joy, relief, or confidence surge within you. Wear that feeling throughout your day as if it’s your new identity. You are now the person who has your desire.
- Persist with unshakeable faith. Once you’ve “conceived” your desire in imagination, nurture it. Return to your vision nightly, especially as you drift off to sleep, when the mind is most receptive. In your everyday life, carry on as if you expect its arrival. Crucially, refuse to let doubts take root. If contrary evidence shows up, remind yourself it’s temporary and that the seed is growing. Remember Abdullah’s words: “No little pregnancy”. You’re all-in on this creation, and you will see it through to birth. Trust the process, even if you can’t see how the pieces will come together.
By following these principles, you honor the teachings of Abdullah in the most meaningful way possible: by living them. Every time you choose faith over fear, assumption over doubt, you are effectively taking a seat next to Abdullah in that imaginary lecture hall, nodding along as he speaks truth. You become, in a sense, your own mentor and master, which is exactly what Neville Goddard ultimately encouraged. The power that was in Abdullah and Neville is in you as well – the same faculty of imagination, the same connection to the Divine.
In a world hungry for hope and transformation, Abdullah’s lesson shines like a beacon across the decades. It urges us to go within, claim our desires as already ours, and then watch as life rearranges itself in seemingly magical ways. The call to action is simple yet profound: dare to assume the best and live from that assumption. Test it in your life. Start with something small or something grand, but start. As Neville might say, “apply this tonight.”
The journey of manifestation is a deeply personal and spiritual one. With mentors like Abdullah lighting the path, we are reminded that we walk not alone and that the kingdom of heaven is truly within. So tonight, as you prepare to sleep, take a page from Neville’s story. Decide what you want, construct that scene, feel it real – and climb into it as though it were your cozy bed in a beloved home. In doing so, you join a lineage of conscious creators. You tune into the same creative law that took Neville from poverty to fulfillment.
Abdullah and the Law of Assumption invite you to write your own Barbados story – to prove to yourself that imagination knows no limits. The only question is: are you willing to believe it’s already done? If you are, life will meet you with open arms, and your assumed wish will stand before you in the flesh. Your world, as Abdullah promised, will bow to the mind of faith.
Go ahead – assume your wish fulfilled now, and let the universe delight you. The creative power is within you, just as it was within Neville. As you practice this, you become both the teacher and the student of your reality. In the spirit of Abdullah’s teachings: no half measures, no half-belief – embrace your desire wholly,and watch it manifest. This is the Law of Assumption in action, and today is the perfect day to begin.
Abdullah FAQ
FAQ
Abdullah was the enigmatic Ethiopian-born Jewish mystic who mentored Neville in early-1930s New York. He taught Neville the practical core of the Law of Assumption: live in the end, refuse to argue with appearances, and let life conform. If you want the full origin story, colorful anecdotes, and modern application in one place, start with Abdullah Unveiled.
The Law of Assumption says your world mirrors who you assume you are—so you deliberately assume the state of the wish fulfilled and persist until facts match. It’s identity-level creation, not wishful thinking. For scripts, checkpoints, and “live-from-the-end” exercises you can use tonight, see Abdullah Unveiled.
Abdullah made Neville assume he was already in Barbados—seeing America “afar off” from his family home—night after night as he fell asleep. No discussions about “how”; only fidelity to the end. The exact sleep-time method and nightly scene construction are broken down in Abdullah Unveiled.
Once you’ve assumed the end, your desire is conceived—so stop poking it. Doubt, checking, or bargaining is interference that risks a “miscarriage” of the idea; calm persistence carries it to term. If you’ve been oscillating, the reset protocol in Abdullah Unveiled helps you go all-in without strain.
Law of Attraction often centers on thinking and “attracting”; Law of Assumption centers on being—adopting the identity that implies the result is done. It cuts out chasing signs and puts you in the operator’s seat. For side-by-side comparisons, case studies, and language swaps (“wanting” → “being”), read Abdullah Unveiled.
Yes. Pick one short scene that would only be true if your wish were fulfilled (e.g., a “congratulations” hug), feel it real as you fall asleep, and live tomorrow as the person for whom that scene is normal. If you want prompts and troubleshooting, turn to the quick-start in Abdullah Unveiled.
Don’t debate the 3D; return to the end and refuse to rehearse lack. Doubt is old self-concept echo—let it pass and re-enter the scene. For a calm, repeatable loop-back routine (without forcing or “checking”), see the remedies in Abdullah Unveiled.
Abdullah didn’t leave a book, so curated sources are essential. Abdullah Unveiled brings together the core stories (Barbados, “little pregnancy,” first-class assumption), Neville’s applications, and modern practice guides in one volume—so you stop chasing signs and start getting results.
