AUTHOR OF WE WANT FOR OUR SISTERS WHAT WE WANT FOR OURSELVES!Being raised during the height of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, and struggling with Christianity, Ra Heter (aka Patricia Dixon) would go into the world in search of something that would eventually lead her to search for answers to age-old questions of who we are, how we got here, why there is so much suffering, and what happens after death. Integrating the personal with scholarship, in Glimpses of Eternity, Ra Heter takes you on a journey from her experiences and discoveries in African American/ Black Studies to a review of the literature of the world's religions and the most ancient secret knowledge of the ages. This review provides substantial substantial evidence of the significant role that African Nile Valley civilizations, specifically Egyptian (Kemetic) mystery religion played in Greek philosophy, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Hermeticism (Free Masonry), and New Age spirituality. She would also be led to the African origins of the Jesus story, ancient mysteries, and what some of our most ancient ancestors had to say about why we come to Earth, how to alleviate suffering, how to attain the highest state of consciousness, heaven on Earth, the science of death, and how to achieve eternal life. Finally, Glimpses of Eternity is the story of a Black women's journey to consciousness-it is a story of a search for truth. Guided by the ancient saying, "When the student is ready the teacher will appear," it is a journey that can help you in your own search for truth.
