Welcome to my blog about transcending the self. Instead of using the mind to fix or control your world so that you can be happy, there is another way. This blog is about moving your awareness from your limited, egoic-self to your Higher Self in order that you can be the divine expression that you were intended to be.


Many of my beliefs are based on the books "The Untethered Soul" (T.U.S.) by Michael Singer and "Falling into Grace" by Adyashanti. These books describe the path of moving your awareness from the part of you that tries to make your life work (ie, find happiness, security, love...) to the part of you that Witnesses or Watches your life unfold and your reactions to your life. As you become more aware of yourself as the Watcher, and you let go of the energies of the lower self, you will be moving towards greater freedom.

So instead of struggling to make everything go your way in life, why not accept what is (release the need to fix or control people, situations or your mind), open your heart and surrender to That Which Created Life in the first place! In other words, go with the flow of life and watch the amazing miracle that you are blossom! Please join me in choosing to move beyond the limitations of the personal self and to live a life of freedom.

To get the most out of this blog, I suggest that you read the books. I also recommend the CDs by Michael Singer (see the website below). I post on this blog about once a week. If you would like to be notified by email each time I post please send your email address to donnamccullough@cox.net.

Set the intention for...

Yes, set your intentions but if you really want peace, love and joy, then set the intention for what you want to BE, not what you want to get.  I say this for a couple of reasons.  First, you know that whatever you get will not make you happy for long.  The happiness about the new outfit fades quickly and you will need another new outfit to make you happy.  Same with the new car, relationship, job... As I have heard Michael Singer say on one of his CDs (and I am paraphrasing) "Many people have good health and they're still not happy."  So even perfect health does not lead to happiness. 

Second, happiness comes from within.  It is our inherent state of being to be happy.  Infants are happy.  If they are cold, hungry, or have a wet diaper they may cry expressing their unhappiness with a temporary situation, but they continue to be happy. Once their needs are met, they let the negative feelings go and they return to a state of happiness (hey, that sounds like Witness and Release!)

So set the intention to "Be Peace", "Be Love", "Be Joy" or to "Be the Witness" and Let It Be!
