Here is the list of my hobbies and interests.

Interest 1 Reading -

· Reading has been one of my greatest interests since my early ages in my life. From my early childhood there is a quest in me to know as how this Universe happen to exist and where do I go when I die. This quest leads me to look for books related to astronomy and religious books. To understand the meaning I went further to reading books on physics and chemistry and to learn mathematics. Traveling through my mind and disregarding the distance I first thought about the endless galaxies in the universe and wondered as how they happen to be there. Could it be true as some of the scientists say that it all started from highly dense matter with zero radius (where there is no such a thing as time and space or time-space) and by means of slight crack (which is the beginning of time-space) and followed by explosion known as the Big Bang the universe continued to expand ever since creating in its long process the galaxies and the stars that we see by night with our naked eyes in this vast universe. Leaving aside all the rest I thought about our Milky Way Galaxy and disregarding the other millions of suns in it, I thought about our sun and her satellite planets. And then I thought about our tiny planet Earth on whom I am standing and thought about myself as one person amongst the over six billion of its inhabitants without counting the dead ones. Looking into my physical body which is built by about trillion of cells including my brain cells each one of them working hard to survive and obeying instruction from my brain by means of the nerve cells to accomplish their tasks. Surprisingly, any one of my cells has nucleus in their atoms. Further breakdown of the atoms will take me to subatomic levels, which will take me to the dense minute worlds. Having made the extensive travel I ended up without answer to my quest of how and why should I be here as a thinking man. I read the Bible, the Koran, the Bghavatagita, Raja Yoga, the Great Initiates by Edouard Schure, and the Synaxarium by Sir E.A.Wallis Budge and even read the Sign and the Seal, the Sphinx the Finger Prints of Gods By Graham Hancock. It so appears that science is concerned only with the physical and material world and is incapable to answer the inner minds of man. And in today's world the religious order imprisoned in its dogma and urge for worldly wealth does not seem to understand the true meaning and message of the teachings of its founders. In my opinion, which I say to myself, if these cells in my body obey instructions from my brain to do their bodily functions from the system built within my body and with an additional power to THINK it could also be possible that the whole system in the entire universe is obeying instruction from a higher being capable to be within the system or stand alone. That system however is not limited with power to think but it is omnipotent all knowing and everlasting with power to create and destroy all matter as opposed to the saying by the scientists who claim that matter/energy can not be created or destroyed. Perhaps it may be his reason to create the thinking man in his image to understand him through his creation and to love him. If so then, that being is GOD. Now that I found my creator and the answer to my quest let me say a little bit about myself. I am born from families who are followers of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church. I have been baptized when I was 40 days old. I took my first education at the Swedish Evangelical School at Entoto. Even though it is a Protestant School and we were taught the Bible in the protestant way there was a high zeal in me, which tells me to remain faithful to the Holly Orthodox Church to this day. I am now 63 years old and still go to the Tewahdo Churches. I have respect to all the other Christian churches but I have decided to remain where I belong. Similarly, I have respect to all other religions and have received great inspirations from their teachings. Therefore, as the great prophets including David who said that 'Kedamiha Le Tibeb Feriha Egziabher'  (meaning, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom) taught men to obey and worship God. I pray to God to show me the way, to guide me to follow and understand the teachings of the holly fathers who sacrificed their life and wealth for the love of God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ God the Holly Spirit One God.
