“I am standing in his place on 72nd Street, off Central Park West; that’s where he lived. He lived at 30 West 72nd Street.” – Neville Goddard “Gift’s Bestowed By God“
This piece delivers the missing proof that the Atlantic City “G. Mahmud Ahmad Abdoullah” is the very Abdullah who mentored Neville Goddard in New York.
Up until now, we could show that the Atlantic City baritone-mystic Abdullah/Abdallah/Abdoullah fit the profile of Neville’s teacher.
What we lacked, until now, was a clean, Manhattan-dated bridge that put Abdullah on West 72nd Street. Now we have it.
In Abdullah Identified – The Baritone Mystic of Atlantic City and 30 West 72nd Street we followed the gradual shift from a baritone music professor with a Bel Canto studio (1905-1919) in Atlantic City to spiritualist/metaphysician (1920 on)
In Part 4.5 – Houdini to Yogananda: Following Neville Goddard’s Abdullah from Atlantic City to NYC, we traced Abdullah’s Atlantic City pressures with the 1927 storage auction of his household goods, the Houdini spy, Ruth Mackenberg’s 1929 “Allicia Bunck” certificate splashed across newspapers nationwide. We found clippings of Abdullah offering open Sunday lectures on What Is Truth?, The Unity, The Ancient Way Restored, Detaching Mind from Self at 100 West 72nd.
To recap the Atlantic City to New York transition. Let’s look at some clippings.

If he was ever invited out, and he was, he was always the honoured guest. He said, “Neville, you must first start with self. Find self, don’t be ashamed ever of the being you are. Discover it and start the changing of that self” – Neville Goddard How We Met (3/10/1964)
