Krishnamurti suggested that no one, including himself, can teach you about yourself, and this feels true. There must be no authority or specific path to full understanding—only questioning the human psyche. Freedom arises when unbound by any becoming or other attachments, allowing total, unrestrained, sensitive enquiry.

J.K., Jiddu Krishnamurti, was fond, when summarising such teachings, of introducing the idea of two friends quietly meeting together, carefully considering the direct nature of enquiry. Simply, carefully, looking into life and pondering what is and what is not actually happening. Practically exploring together what living is all about—not what can be about, but what actually is.

Hello Jiddu Krishnamurti. Hi, J.K. hijkpress… hijk press may seem somewhat contrived, but the initial sense of meeting together also neutrally unfolding [within the 26 agreed letters structuring the Latinised alphabet …abcdefgHIJKlmnop…] combines here to offer a neutral universal platform where total questioning, through various media, can non-hierarchically occur. The pausing, interruption, the hijacking [hijk] also of conditioned thinking to potentially allow insightful enquiry, is likewise an attendant consideration.

hijk.press, welcome. Encountering Krishnamurti’s questioning for the first time can be both revelatory and confusing. Challenging our basic assumptions is not for everyone; most of us may prefer to maintain a daily, fixed reactive routine rooted in personalisation. However, wherever I go, I encounter myself, though not always in the sense of truly meeting, but rather in seeing life as I feel it to be—especially in relation to what I think of as others. These publications aim to challenge one’s fundamental assumptions by serving as a mirror for an enquiring relationship. Enquiring not only about what the relationship is, but also, in a real sharing sense, what is living with and as questioning.
