'''Afra''' was the first member of the black race to make his ascension. Long ago, he offered name and fame to God to sponsor a vast continent and a mighty people. When he ascended, he asked to be called simply “a brother” (''frater'' in Latin), hence the name Afra. The continent of Africa takes its name from Afra, and he is the patron of Africa and of the black race. | '''Afra''' was the first member of the black race to make his ascension.

There were ancient [[golden age]]s in Africa when it was a part of the continent of [[Lemuria]], when the people came forth out of the light of the great causal body of the [[Great Divine Director]]. The Great Divine Director continues to sponsor the divine plan for the continent of Africa, even as he sponsors the divine plan for the descendants of Afra in America. | There were ancient [[golden age]]s in Africa when it was a part of the continent of [[Lemuria]], when the people came forth out of the light of the great [[causal body]] of the [[Great Divine Director]].

Many people have ascended from the black race—although from a spiritual perspective, there is no such thing as the black race or the white race. In heaven, the masters are not noted by their race or previous religion. All of the races on earth have come forth from the heart of God under the seven rays, or seven paths of initiation. | Many people have ascended from the black race—although from a spiritual perspective, there is no such thing as the black race or the white race.

The members of the “black” race have come forth on the blue ray and the violet ray. In an ancient civilization on the continent of Africa, the people’s skin actually had a blue or a violet hue. These colors come from the Father-Mother God, [[Alpha and Omega]], the beginning and the ending, the first ray and the seventh ray. | The members of the “black” race have come forth on the blue ray and the violet ray.

Just as each individual serves on a particular ray, so individual nations also have their calling, or dharma. Each nation is called by God to manifest a specific virtue to fulfill a certain destiny. The members of what is now known as the black race were sent to earth to master the qualities of God’s power, his will and his faith (on the blue ray) and the qualities of God’s freedom, justice and mercy (on the violet ray). | Just as each individual serves on a particular ray, so individual nations also have their calling, or [[dharma]].

Throughout the ages since his departure from [[Garden of Eden|Eden]], man has wandered from his high estate, and the pure colors of the rainbow rays are no longer reflected either in the skin tone or in the aura. Division has set in through the divide-and-conquer tactics of the [[fallen one]]s. Instead of the races embracing one another as brother and sister, there is division: one race enslaves another race, and the great unity of all children of God and their oneness in the flame is destroyed. | Throughout the ages since his departure from [[Garden of Eden|Eden]], man has wandered from his high estate, and the pure colors of the rainbow rays are no longer reflected either in the skin tone or in the aura.
