Neville's story is extraordinary, crossing paths with a NYC-apartment livin' black Ethiopian Jew / Rabbi, during the Great Depression years (And at a time when blacks were still barred from NY opera house but his friend went to the opera frequently and unhindered anyway, because he believed it was his God-given right, the person in the kiosk selling him the ticket never 'saw' black!).
This friend, Abdullah, opens up the Bible to Neville in a whole new way; each character therein depicts a state of human consciousness; every single character in the Bible represents a state of consciousness, with the character Christ Jesus being the "flowering crown" state.
I read every book of Neville's once I discovered Wayne Dyer's final book before he died, Wishes Fulfilled, was based on Neville's original 1950's book, Awakened Imagination. I felt drawn to go to the source material, and to take in Neville's understanding every which way he elaborates. Thanks for posting. It IS powerful stuff!
