Sabri Bogday

Zhenren: It seems a Turkish barber working in Jidda, Saudi Arabia, has been convicted of uttering a phrase against you and his punishment might be death under a strict brand of Islamic law.

You fashioned me out of your own need to give you comfort. Why then use me as a justification for…

Wine Review: Panarroz Jumilla 2006, from Spain

Wine Review: Panarroz Jumilla 2006, from Spain

I spotted this wine in COSTCO and it had a score of at least 90 by Robert Parker. The price was well under ten dollars so we purchased it. I would score this wine above 50, probably close to a 60. It simply was not that impressive. Winery: Panarro Vintage: 2006 Varietal: Blend Country: Spain Region: Almansa Vendor: COSTCO Price: Under $10 Our rating: 60

Is Life Survival?

Is Life Survival?

Zhenren:  I am often times confused by my own existence.  I some times think that life choices are tests for survival but yet I live a comfortable life.  I read about people who are suffering because they were born into poor circumstances.  I feel that If I make the wrong choice I will fall or fail into situations and become like the less fortunate people I read about in magazines, newspapers and see on the news.   My parents want me…

Best to Follow Truth.

Zhenren: You use the words “live direction”. What exactly do you mean by that? Selene: You are living in a vast environment with natural forces swirling about you.

You have also created your own constructed world in parallel, be it very small, that too evolves. When making decisions, you would be wise to look at the compass, the direction…

Selene:  The process of evolution has evolved for you, to the point, that you realize your own existence and future death.  You can accept this brief wonderful travel with no care or you can try to find some purpose.  There is no purpose except what you determine.  It is a wise person who fits their purpose into the truth of life direction.
