Powerful transformational practices, including the Law of Assumption, from Abdullah, the mysterious Black Ethiopian rabbi who was the mentor to New Thought icon Neville Goddard.

“In this captivating book, Abiola enlightens readers, revealing that it is their birthright to transform their wildest dreams from imagination to reality.”

Abdullah’s spiritual laws provide the foundation of conscious creation; and the manifesting processes, revelations, and exercises provided in these pages will become your tools for harnessing the energy of your intentions while guiding you toward deeper self-awareness and alignment with your desires.

Easy to read and follow, there was absolutely no pressure in the delivery.
This consisted of a subtle backstory of the Author, the origin of creation in Ethiopian cultures, and the mentors of the Author. Using the teachings of Neville and Abdullah, the author encouraged readers to take on these methods to change our lives.
I loved the challenges, questions, and decrees added at the end of every lesson, made it very interactive, sparked motivation and encouragement for change.

I listened to Abiola discuss the book on a podcast with Michael Bernard Beckwith just around the time I had finished reading Walter Lanyon's book about Abdullah. So, the universe conspired to send this book my way. I am a big fan and reader of Neville Goddard, Walter Lanyon, Wayne Dyer, and Joseph Murphy. I longed to know more about the teacher who changed these people's lives, and I gathered more insight from the book.

I am inspired to reread the book and do the work outline again. I completely resonate with many of its themes. I'll be sharing this book with others.

This is a great manual for those ready to embrace their power of manifestation in their lives. If Neville Goddard, Dr. Wayne Dyer, or Dr. Joseph Murphy sound familiar, then this book is for you. Abdullah is the thought leader who taught these legends and Abiola Abrams channels Abdullah so effectively, I felt as if I could hear the book in his voice. Filled with practical tips and exercises, From Imagination to Reality is worth the read.

Look, I commend Abrams for writing a book on Abdullah. They are difficult to come by. And if you're on the same wave length as her it would be a solid 5/5. But if you're like me and you find being called goddess, gorgeous, spirituneaur etc just odd then this isn't for you. Womanifest instead of manifest???? There's the odd spelling mistake (Abd Allah?) And many grammatical errors in this book - but it's still possible to take what you need if you look deep enough.

I love Neville Goddard and this book summarizes a lot (if not all) of his techniques. Which is only normal since it is a book about Neville's teacher, Abdullah.

3.5 rounded up. It had some great concepts to takeaway but I found it repetitive

I want to come back and reread some sections and I need to finish some of the exercises but it has already been extremely helpful and I am excited to continue using it.

Grateful for this Wisdom

I've read a good amount of manifestation books, specifically ones on abundance and prosperity that I couldn't quite get behind.

I'm grateful for this book by Abiola Adams because it has exercises, meditations, and journal prompts to help you to actually feel what it is like to live your manifested life and to deal with doubts and objections to why your ego tells you that you can't.

I also loved learning about Abdullah, who I'd never heard of before. Something about how he lived from a place of knowing, trust, and complete faith was what I needed, especially in these times where the world feels uncertain.

The story about Abdullah buying opera seats in a time when the laws in place said he wouldn't be allowed to sit there is one i think often as I worry for the future of the country.

I'm grateful that the author wrote this book and that I read it when I did. I plan to put it into practice.
