The calligraphy on the cover of this book represents the Japanese term mu, or Chinese wu, centred on a background image of YinYang, representing balance and calm in the midst of change. This term has many meanings, such as “not have”, “without”, “not”, and “nothing”. In Buddhism, it relates to "without” or “nothingness”. In this book, the term relates to the same theme and is known as “no thing”.
“The mystery of life is not a problem to solve.
But a reality to experience.”
"William Wordsworth"

WHAT IS THE CONDITIONED MIND MATRIX WE ALL LIVE IN?
We all do live in a Matrix, it is the product of a lifetime of conditioning, and societal programming if you prefer. It is in every individual.
And as a consequence, it influences our governments and society as we know it.
Greed, power, war, pollution, extinction of animals and global warming come from the conditioned mindset.
Anxiety, stress, and depression are personal problems are also products of this conditioning.
Awakening the mind from this matrix has been sought after for thousands of years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful thinking for anyone wanting to find inner peace.

Reading ‘No Thing’ reminded me of the stoic term Memento Mori, we can leave this Earth at any time so always be mindful.
Also, I was reminded of the words of Marcus Aurelius that ego is the enemy and letting ego control us can lead to bad outcomes. I was also reminded that religion and spirituality are two totally different concepts, it is possible to be spiritual without being religious, and religion has caused far too much pain to man throughout history. Where a spiritual outlook can lead to personal growth, when reading Peter’s thoughts on spirituality I was reminded of the works of Carl Sagen.
When Peter talks about nature and the importance of stopping to 'smell the flowers', I was reminded of a conversation I had with a First Nations lady on a beach at Portland. We had been whale watching, and we were talking to this beautiful soul about the whales, she related a story about a terrible incident where a family of First Nations people had been murdered on the very beach, we were standing on over a century ago, she was paying her respects. But she also talked about how 'country' heals the soul and that it is important to be on country to heal. Nature is good for the soul and creates inner peace.
Peter Wright has written a thoughtful book that is full of wisdom from the ages. It is a book that will encourage the reader to further explore what it means to live a good life; I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to start the journey of self-improvement and find inner peace.

I was fortunate enough to read this book, at first, I thought it would be just another spiritual book. However, once I started to read and understand the three parts it all made sense to me. We think all our minds work differently but in essence, our minds work the same way, it is just the way we use it. With this book, we get to put things into retrospective and breathe before we react. There are a lot of parts you will relate to and say, yes this is what I have been doing and thinking without realizing it. I highly recommend that you read this and tell friends and family about it.
