Glimpses of Eternity: A Journey to Black Consciousness and Search for Truth

AUTHOR OF WE WANT FOR OUR SISTERS WHAT WE WANT FOR OURSELVES

Being raised in an adoptive family during the height of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, and troubled 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.

In Glimpses of Eternity, Ra Heter takes you on a journey through her discoveries in Black Studies, her experiences in academia as a Black female scholar, studies on polygyny, travels throughout the world, and an encounter that leads to a spiritual awakening that compelled her to look beyond the walls of academe in search of what really is true. Taking a deep dive into the literature would lead to substantial evidence of the significant role that African Nile Valley civilizations, specifically Egyptian 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 her 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.
