Many believe Neville Goddard’s publishing career began in 1941 with the hefty, 171-page book called Your Faith Is Your Fortune, issued under his own imprint at the Hotel Hargrave. Others believe (Cool Wisdoms Books included)… 50 pages is a book and enough to say his first book was At Your Command in 1939. But if we leave behind the semantics of what is considered a “book” Neville’s “publishing history” is overturned by a newly discovered paper trail of historical records. Neville’s publishing legacy didn’t start with his massive self-published triumph. It started with a 5-to-21-page paperbound pamphlet titled “Ask of Me,” priced at a 50 cents (approx. $11.50 in today’s dollars). Explore the intersection of New Thought and occult history as we examine the 3D world as the “Underworld” of finished forms. Using recent historical research into Abdullah’s background with grimoire traditions and insights from the Rune Soup podcast, this article investigates the choice between believing appearances and listening to the Divine Voice.

But when you look at the 1922–1972 audit, the Broadway earnings, the 7-year ‘basement’ apprenticeship, and the 1959 timeline… In our ongoing investigation into Neville Goddard’s teacher, Abdullah, we’ve just uncovered one of the most important pieces of evidence yet: nine copyright registrations from 1935, all listing 30 West 72nd Street as his address. This chapter presents the first documented trail of Abdullah, the teacher Neville Goddard called his “old friend”. Through advertisements, census records, and church filings in Atlantic City, we can identify him as Dr. Modeste Abda’llah Guillaume, a North African baritone who directed a Bel Canto studio, founded a metaphysical church, and taught the “mystery books of Moses”. His disappearance from the Atlantic City press in October 1923 coincides with the purchase of 30 West 72nd Street in New York by another Lamperti-line baritone, W. Henri Zay. By the early 1930s, the same address appears in Neville’s recollections, where Abdullah was teaching Bible mysticism and taking his student to Parsifal at the Metropolitan Opera. The missing element for many Neville readers is tikkun, the repair and purification of imagination and emotion that explains why some manifestations succeed, others collapse, and why the Law and the Promise were never meant to be separated. Was Abdullah—Neville Goddard’s mysterious teacher—an Ethiopian Jew shaped by hidden migrations through Egypt? This chapter traces mythic names, vanishing colonies, and Afro-Judaic crossroads from Mahalla al-Kubra to New York, uncovering the diasporic trail of a man fluent in Hebrew and Kabbalah, yet absent from every archive.

They were laughed at, imprisoned, honored, and recorded. Some passed Masonic tests and Torah exams. Others faltered under scrutiny.n1596 ¶3
But together, they formed an overlooked substratum of the American metaphysical scene. Before Abdullah taught Neville in 1930s New York, men who spoke Hebrew and claimed ancient lineage were already moving through ports, temples, and lodges. Their legacy is not proof—but it is prelude. And somewhere between Mockombar and Harlem, obelisks and synagogues, deception and devotion, the shape of a teacher begins to form. Harlem in the 1920s and 1930s was a ferment of religious innovation, esoteric experimentation, and Black intellectual renaissance. Within this climate, spiritual teachers, mystics, rabbis, Freemasons, Theosophists, and metaphysical lecturers shared halls, disciples, and occasionally doctrines. This section includes all major figures and movements active in Harlem’s spiritual/esoteric scene, their affiliations, beliefs, and potential relevance to Abdullah.n1596 ¶4
