Question 1 : monthly Greek magazine Azoka
Many people are ready to simply change their state of being, but they are terrified of the possibility of the end of the world. I, too, toyed around like a puppet until I searched in the scriptures. I found out that the ancient phrase is not "the end of the world" but "the end of time" or "the end of days."
Will the highest mystery be the destruction of the world, or will it be the salvation of human beings -- a glorious change of the universal forces of movement and man's measurement of time?
Question 2
You have been talking to us about Jesus' parables. In one of his most important sayings, Jesus warned about the false prophet of the East -- the wolf in sheep's clothing who will deceive many in the days of man's final liberation. You have also been speaking about Truman's nuclear terror and warned us of Reagan's antique philosophy.
Can you speak to us about the dark one of the East, Ayatollah Khomeini. Is this the false prophet the world has expected?
Question 3
Mankind fell from the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden. Devoted people like Buddha or the prophet Elijah reached to eternal rest while they were sitting under the shadow of a tree. Jesus went beyond darkness when he was hanging on the tree. Man fights battles to defend his family tree.
And I have heard that you reached enlightenment while you were sitting under a tree.
What does the tree symbolize to those who reach the highest path? How can I reach the experience which will make me a knower of the tree?
Question 4 : Cleo, Italian weekly magazine for teenagers
Please talk about love and friendship with the other sex. How should a teenager go about it?
Question 5
At this young age there is a lot of shyness and insecurity about making decisions. Parents are not often helpful. How to develop the inner strength?
Question 6
How can teenagers create a bridge to their parents?
Question 7
Teenagers go wild about fashion -- changing their appearance at every season. What is it they are expressing by doing that?
Question 8
Teenagers have a strong desire to belong to a group, to anything. What does this need reflect?
Question 9
Teenagers often have fantasies and dreams regarding their future. How can they be more realistic?
Question 10
Teenagers grow up with a given concept of black life values and are in a confusion trying to sort it all out -- what is true, what is false, what is fictitious. Can you please give them some guidelines to help them?
Question 11
Can you please talk about youth and sports, which today has a strong impact on young people's lives.
