Has Maitreya given any interviews in Argentina? A. No. Q. If they believe in Maitreya, can anyone channel His ideas? A. No, I am afraid not. Many people claim to `channel' Maitreya and think it is actually happening to them, but to transmit messages from Maitreya to the world requires a long period of training which eventuates in being able to receive this overshadowing presence. There are seven authentic disciples, all in different parts of the world, who are being used by Maitreya to anchor His energies. It is not so much a question of giving information or messages, but in most cases more a question of representing Him. Apart from these seven disciples, there are many people who mistakenly think they are `channelling' Maitreya, but this is not the case. It is glamour. Q. How dangerous do you think North Korea is now? A. North Korea is dangerous because it is young and feels powerful and longs to be seen to be powerful.

What percentage of radiation from the Fukushima nuclear power station disaster (including the radiation still being released there) have the Space Brothers neutralized? A. 60 per cent. Q. To what extent does the radiation from the Fukushima disaster still pose a health risk to the people of Japan either people living close to Fukushima or farther away? A. There is still a risk because around 30 per cent of radiation remains varying from place to place. Obviously the closer to Fukushima, the greater is the risk. Q. In answer to questions in Share International in May 2011 about the Fukushima disaster, you said: "So far, no countries have been impacted by nuclear radiation coming from Japan." And, "So far, the only people affected by radiation are those living in the north eastern part of Japan." However, a news story on the Common Dreams website reported, "According to a new study published in the Open Journal of Pediatrics, children born in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington between one week and 16 weeks after the meltdown began are 28 per cent more likely to suffer from congenital hypothyroidism (CH) than were children born in those states during the same period one year earlier." Were children on the west coast of the United States affected in this way by the Fukushima disaster, as the medical study indicates? If so, where else were children affected by the disaster? A. The West Coast of the US was not directly affected by the Fukushima disaster. Q. Could you please give the ray structure and point of evolution of Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013), former British Prime Minister? A. S: 2; P: 1 (6); M: 6 (1); A: 6 (2); Ph: 7 (1). PoE: 1.7. Q. (1) Could you please comment on Margaret Thatcher and her legacy? Adored by some, loathed by others, she seems, some commentators say, to have polarised the country. Did she? (2) Others are of the opinion that she restored Britain's former greatness; what is the truth of the matter? (3) Was she a forward thinker or a divisive `Piscean'? A. (1) Yes, completely. (2) This is pure glamour. Britain has been `great' and will be great again in a completely different way. It has a most important role to play in the future alignment of the nations of the world. (3) A divisive Piscean par excellence. Q. It is said that even now in the second decade of the 21st century Margaret Thatcher's influence can be seen and felt how? A. By all the divisions that she helped to create in the British social system, putting it back at least 50 years. She was as relevant and as useful as the most backward and narrow member of the USA Republican Tea Party. I would like to quote a distinguished actress, now Member of Parliament, Glenda Jackson, who summed up her reaction to Mrs Thatcher better than I could: "Thatcherism wreaked the most heinous social, economic and spiritual damage upon this country." Q. Margaret Thatcher seemed to tap into a deep-seated selfishness and materialism, which up to then had not surfaced in Britain. That materialism seems to have continued even after she left office. Your comments, please? A. That materialism has grown since she left office. To continue with the quotation from MP Glenda Jackson: "The basis to Thatcherism was that everything I had been taught to regard as a vice under Thatcherism was in fact a virtue: greed, selfishness, no care for the weaker." Q. At the time of her `reign' Margaret Thatcher seemed very powerful; looked at now in retrospect she seems to belong to a very distant by-gone age. It's almost like looking at dinosaurs so inimical are her ideas and attitudes. What is your insight into Mrs Thatcher and such figures? A. She was an exponent of the past and its values, which have brought humanity to the most dangerous place it has ever been in its history. Q. What is the relationship between the new Pope's election and the process of the emergence of Maitreya? A. None. Q.

No. http://www.share-international.org/magazine/old_issues/2013/2013-05.htm <http://www.share-international.org/magazine/old_issues/2013/2013-05.htm\ >
