Neville Teachings

What I learned from Abdullah by Dave Whitley

If you are familiar with the story of “you are IN Barbados”, you know that Abdullah instructed Neville that he was in Barbados already. Neville went to sleep in his earthly father’s house, night after night in his imagination, for a month.

Nothing happened. Neville went to visit Abdullah and voiced his doubt/concern/fear…

“….Two weeks later I was no nearer to my goal than on the day I first told him I wanted to go to Barbados. I said to him, Ab, I trust you implicitly but here is one time I cannot see how it is going to work. I have not one penny towards my journey, I began to explain.

You know what he did? He was as black as the ace of spades, my old friend Abdullah, with his turbaned head. As I sat in his living room he rose from his chair and went towards his study and slammed the door, which was not an invitation to follow him. As he went through the door he said to me, “I have said all that I have to say.”

Ultimately, it worked. Neville went to Barbados first class, despite initially being told he’d be in 3rd class, prompting Abdullah to correct Neville again in the same manner.

Obviously, this is a testament to Abdullah’s directness. But since we know it worked and it was extremely unlikely that it would, what can we learn from this?

Here’s some of my observations on it:

1) Living in the end. If you are already in Barbados, you are not concerned with how you are going to get there.

Practice getting into the feeling by thinking of something that already exists in your world. For this example, let’s assume that you have a car.

Do you wonder if your car is parked outside? No, because you put it there.

If someone came along and asked if you have a car, you’d respond with a simple yes, because you know…not believe… that it’s parked in your driveway.

If the same person question you…”are you sure? Because I don’t think you do.” How would you feel? Would you doubt the existence of your car? Of course not.

To fully live in the end, assume the same “knowing feeling” about your desired outcome as you do about possessions you know you have.

2) Naturalness. By sleeping in his father’s house, Neville constructed a scene that felt very natural to him, because of its familiarity. He lived there all of his life before leaving the tiny island for the thriving metropolis of New York City.

You can practice this skill of natural imagination by getting into a relaxed state and observing the room you are in. Take note of small details. What do you see? Can you hear the sound of traffic outside? Are there any smells? Are you in a hard chair or lying on a soft surface, like a bed or sofa?

Now close your eyes and replicate the room in your mind. This will be easy to do because it feels very natural.

Apply that same feeling of naturalness to your imaginal scene.

3) Persistence in your Mental Diet. Once you’ve decided on an aim and assumed the state of fulfilled desire, any time a thought comes into your mind that is not in line with it, turn your back on it, walk away and shut the door, the same way Abdullah did with Neville.

Conclusion:

Beyond the 3D act of exiting the room, Abdullah ended a conversation that was centered on Neville’s doubt. He literally turned his back and walked out of the room, which takes his attention away by removing it from his immediate awareness and slams the door, cutting off any opposing thought.

When a thought or feeling of doubt comes to you, turn your back, walk away and slam the door on it. On the other side of that door is a place where you can persist in living in the end and the naturalness of the ideal realized.

Thank you for taking the time to find out about me and what I offer. When I was a child I was overweight, had a terrible stutter and consequently was picked on and bullied. I retreated into a world of fantasy, science fiction and comic books, and became enamoured of superhuman powers, specifically superhuman strength. I frequently used my imagination to become a superhuman in my mind, which planted the seed for things to come. “Never inhibit yourself by the seemingly impossible. Place no limits upon yourself, and you will have none. Think that you are strong, and you are.”-The Mighty Atom, legendary strongman I grew up to become a performing strongman, keynote speaker and coach. I use feats of strength like bending steel spikes and wrenches, ripping full decks of cards into shreds and breaking chains to illustrate how the power of the mind allows us to do seemingly impossible things. “To attempt to change circumstances before we change our imaginal activity is to struggle against the very nature of things.” – Neville Goddard – My strongman mentor Grandmaster Dennis Rogers told me “You must remove all doubt, fear and limitation from your mind. Your mind controls your body.” Taking that to heart, I began my quest to understand how the Mind works and came to realize that the “body” is more than the physical meat suit we walk around in, it is ALL the results we experience in our 3D reality. Through arduous study of many Mind Masters, including Napoleon Hill, Bob Proctor, my friend Joe Vitale (who is a strongman student of mine), Wallace Wattles, etc, I ultimately arrived at the teaching of Neville Goddard, who is my primary source of teaching and application. My experience as a strongman has proven something profoundly simple to me: Results are the thing that matters. Either you can bend the steel, or you can’t. This is true of every area of your life: either you create the health, wealth, love and happiness you want, or you don’t. The biggest source of limitation I see in my students is fear, doubt and conflicting beliefs within their self-concept. Do you want to be happy, healthy, wealthy, strong and loved? It is my mission to help as many people as possible to overcome limiting beliefs and live a life SuperHuman. Will you be one of those people?
