Summary

In 'The Natural State' by U. G. Krishnamurti, the author explores the concept of the 'natural state' and the idea of living in a state of harmony with the universe. The book delves into the paradox of seeking enlightenment while acknowledging the futility of such pursuits. Krishnamurti's direct and unconventional writing style challenges traditional spiritual beliefs and encourages readers to question their perceptions of reality. Drawing on both Eastern and Western philosophies, the author presents a unique perspective on existence and self-discovery. The book's minimalist approach to language mirrors the simplicity and purity of the 'natural state' it describes. U. G. Krishnamurti's discourse on the nature of reality is a thought-provoking journey that invites readers to reevaluate their understanding of consciousness and the self. Krishnamurti's own rejection of guru-status and renunciation of conventional spiritual practices inform his no-nonsense approach to enlightenment. 'The Natural State' is recommended for readers seeking a fresh and challenging perspective on spirituality and the human experience.

    People, art and life. A record of a particular space in time. Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Sukhothai, Honolulu, Mexico City, northernmost Scotland, Andorra. Intimates and strangers. A mother and son seen for some seconds on a bridge in Shanghai. The emotions flowing between performer and conductor throughout a concert. The interpretation one creative artist gives to that of another's work. Gillian Bickley values the records we all make: — the heritage we may or may not preserve, what we choose to reveal of our lives, the constant interpretative understanding of the personal as well as the historical past, and the sacredness of memory. Here we find observation and reflection – on current affairs as well as people and places – and also the frisson produced by five "skulls" in a window, a funeral owl caught in hire-car headlights, and the realization that classical stories are re-enacted in our own lives. 
 " … a collection refined by the sensitivity and spirit of a poet who observes with the wonder and clarity of someone who is at once an insider and outsider. In her works, we see that Bickley's poetry has the ability to provide both spontaneous, on-the-spot immediacy and lingering, contemplative power…. Every city may have its gaps, ambiguities and unknowabilities, and the poet's intimate and candid reflections in this collection have successfully uncovered some of them." – Hilary Chan Tsz-Shan, Reviews, Asian Cha, February 2010 (Issue 10). 
"You are lucky to have this poetry in your hand." — Karmel Schreyer. 
"The poems in CHINA SUITE are unpretentious, direct, and even raw, like gemstones freshly dug out of a quarry. The psychological boundaries drawn to separate cultures from cultures, clans from clans, and individual from individual are utterly destroyed. An unnoticed observer, she trespasses ethnic taboos and social no-nos, and writes down whatever she sees without getting caught—in a graceful way." — Elbert S. P. Lee

    In a world obsessed with appearances, hookups, and hustle culture, Social Climbing Through Sex: The Evolutionary Elevator delivers a brutally honest, darkly humorous, and disturbingly true exposé on how sexual strategy shapes success. Combining evolutionary biology, psychology, gender politics, and historical case studies, this book unpacks the unapologetic truth: sex is not just about pleasure—it's a currency, a ladder, a tool of power. 
From primal instincts to Instagram thirst traps, from Cleopatra to corporate courtesans, this book traces the ancient and modern tactics of those who ascend society through desire rather than merit. Women who withhold, men who flaunt, and everyone in between—this is not about morality. It's about mechanism. 
Explore why celibacy is a power move, why desire doesn't equal value, and how modern archetypes like the Cool Girl, the Virgin Strategist, and the Evolved Escort aren't just real—they're thriving. 
Whether you're a student of human nature or just curious about what lies beneath the glossy surface of dating apps, weddings, and bedroom "empowerment," this book offers a chilling revelation: love may be blind, but sex wears designer sunglasses and always looks up.
