Who Was Afra?

Some of you will wonder how I contrived the name Afra-motherland and upon discovering how will wonder who in the world Afra is. Afra is an ascended master from whom the name "Africa" is said to have been inspired by. An ascended master is a spiritual being who once lived on earth and upon transcending the material realm into the spirit world attained the position of an ascended master. Examples of ascended masters are Moses, Jesus, Mary and many of the popular saints and mystics in world religions such as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. Isn't it refreshing to know that there are some ascended masters and saints who were black? Growing up in a catholic household I was surrounded by images of saints and mystics of european descents. Later, I encountered others from middle eastern and asian descent. I admired each of them but often wondered why there were no black faces depicted.
Afra is believed to have been the first ascended master from Africa. He lived 500,000years ago at a time when a great African civilization was at the bringe of destruction. Pure spiritual practices of that time were being polluted by black magic, voodoo and the likes. He came to save his people and to teach them the importance of being united for the intrusion of these negative practices were beginning to divide them. I believe that many of our African brothers and sisters have ascended. We just have to seek them out to find them. To read more about Afra please visit: http://www.tsl.org/Masters/afra_set.html
Again it is important to be open minded when reading this. Many of us who are from Christian or Muslim backgrounds have no problem believing in the existence of Adam and Eve. Some of us even take the bible literally. If we can do this, should it then be difficult for us to believe the story of Afra?

Additional note: In writing the above, I do not expect or necessarily encourage anyone to believe in an ascended master named Afra. Nor am I attempting to spread or preach a new religion or movement. The most important thing is the concept and what he represents, and not whether he existed or not. For me and many others he represents the existence of great African saints and mystics. These are the beings that spiritual minded people should seek (in my opinion) to assist them in the upliftment of the motherland.
