Enlightenment, awakening, salvation, liberation, freedom or what ever term you want to use to describe the experience of having consistent peace of mind and simply being happy for no reason seems completely achievable and actually as this book says is natural and inevitable! I recommend this read to anyone who desires more than what this world seems to offer.

This book by David Hoffmeister goes into depth on how to practically go about awakening day by day, moment by moment using principles from non-dual, cool same Reagles a course in miracles and personal experience.

I love this book, I highly recommend Unwind Your Mind back to God by David Hoffmeister

When I open this book there is an instant recognition of truth. I can feel that the wisdom shared in it comes from a reference point that is clearly beyond the personal perspective - and from the 'experience'.
If you want to know 'how to wake up' or 'how to heal the mind' then this book is a gem of a resource. It truly does unwind the mind back to God!

When I opened this book there was an instant recognition of truth. I love that the teachings all the way through it are consistently non-dual, speaking to Perfect Innocence and the forgiveness of all illusions - not matter how 'real' the story appears to be.

This book is a wonderful support for freeing the mind.

Here is a quote as a taster - 'It seems like every day you have to deal with problems, interpersonal problems, survival, and so on and so forth. But you only have one problem and there is one solution to that problem. Isn’t that nice to think it is so simple? If there is such a thing as truth, it will be simple – one problem and one solution. If I perceive the problem to be in the world, it cannot be solved because the Holy Spirit is the one answer to that one problem and the Holy Spirit is in the mind. God did not place the answer where the problem was not. He did not place the answer out on the screen. He did not place the answer in the world; he placed the answer in the mind of the sleeping Son. And that is where the Holy Spirit is.'

There are UYM study groups springing up around the globe now, you can find them on this website - www.circle.livingmiraclescenter.org

Unwind Your Mind provides clear and direct wisdom from writings and dialogues with David Hoffmeister, a wonderful spiritual teacher who might remind you of J. Krishnamurti, Ramana Maharshi, and other masters known for their uncompromising and loving approach. This book is designed to swiftly straighten out your mind, regardless of the circumstances where you find yourself. I've worked and studied with David for years and this masterpiece is a milestone as it's undoubtedly the most comprehensive culmination (500+ pages) of his teachings that has yet been released.

The book frequently references A Course in Miracles, a non-dual self-study spiritual text, and certainly offers a simple and accessible approach that will benefit both beginning and advanced students of the Course. But the message is not intended solely for Course students. It will speak to anyone who has a desire for a deeper understanding of the inner workings of the mind. My dad actually just bought a copy (this is truly a miracle!) and he's loving it!

Thank you David for this amazing gift!

I picked up this book when involved with ACIM, and it sat in a drawer for several years. It's quite a hefty tome, and is set out in the form of DH giving some spiritual advice and lectures that are very akin to ACIM language. Following this, there are excerpts of Q&A with David answering questions from students. I have to say that in attempting to read the book several times, I couldn't really make heads or tails out of about 80%, and the 20% that was legible was written in such an abstract tone (with ACIM jargon) that it would probably be useless for most spiritual seekers (apart from Course related fanatics). It's almost like DH is repeating ideas and concepts from the course, but keeping the heavy conceptual language and themes then applying this to every day problems that his 'students' have such ranging from financial difficulties to addictions etc. Instead of 'unwinding your mind', it seemed to have the effect of winding up my mind into a pretzel like knot that would be best relieved by just sitting in silence for a period of time. This book may be of use for the author's disciples and/or those heavily invested in the ACIM universe.

What is it to unwind your mind? Really? This book is a compilation of deep conversations with David Hoffmeister and is a profound guide to do that very thing. I have read and re-read many parts of the book and am constantly amazed at how I continue to pick up insights that I had missed previously. There is a time in when it's essential to think outside of the box and this book is a road map of the journey of awakening to life's purpose and discovery of one's true identity. What an experience!

David Hoffmeister is a beautiful conveyor of Truth! He is an ACIM Mystic who delivers the principles and message of ACIM clearly and eloquently. He is a joy to listen to (YouTube) and to read! This book will be a favorite in your spiritual library and, most surely, on your spiritual journey!

Unwind Your Mind Back to God (UYM) is probably the most helpful book I have ever read in answering the many questions I had around A Course in Miracles (many I didn't even realise I had). It is set up in a way that takes you deeper in a very practical way as you go along. The Q&A format is so helpful and I cannot rate this book highly enough. Any area of my life that was in any kind of turmoil or an area of the Course that wasn't clear, I found amazingly deep, insightful answers that helped me feel blessed and connected with Spirit, knowing that my prayers were answered. When I started to read UYM , I had already watched David Hoffmeister on Youtube often and was blown away by what he had to say and his incredibly, happy awakened presence. I discovered that there were actually Unwind Your Mind Back to God groups all over the world, many of which were online. I joined one (found on David's 'Living Miracles America' website) and this also helped me to go deeper into the mind for healing. This truly is a miracle book!

"Unwind Your Mind" is a great book that shows how people have applied the concepts of "A Course in Miracles". I had spent 15 years in ACIM study groups, and this book helped me with the application of the principles. It completely opened up a door to my living experience of the Course. I walked through and never looked back. David Hoffmeister shares the experiential process described by Jesus. It is a Whole New World for me!
