S Y Kelake BSc (Hons) S Y Kelake is a Shifu in Chinese Gong Fu and a martial arts practitioner and teacher of more than thirty years. He is a father, a student of Forensic Psychology and Psychological Studies, a publisher, a journalist, a masseur, a yoga practitioner, a meditator, and a man who has lived long enough with difficulty to know that wisdom is not something you acquire - it is something you slowly recover. He was born with an autistic mind that processes the world with unusual directness - a quality he has come to regard not as deficit but as gift, sharpening his capacity to read people and situations with a clarity that formal education took years to catch up with. He came late to academic study but carried its questions for decades before he knew their names. His work sits at the intersection of ancient wisdom and contemporary understanding - drawing from Chinese martial philosophy, the hermetic traditions, forensic psychology, and the hard-won knowledge of a life examined honestly and lived fully. Following a terminal cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, he chose to spend whatever time remained doing what he had always intended: sharing what he had learned, in whatever form it could take, with whoever needed it. The Seeking That Which Was Lost series is the result of that commitment - a twelve-volume conversation about what modern life has lost from the great teachings of humanity, and what becomes possible when we begin to recover it. He writes as S Y Kelake. He publishes through Centerline Publishing Group Ltd. centerlinepublishing@hotmail.com
