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.

Let Spirit's Gifts flow!

Since many of us are busy preparing to welcome more Light, Love, and Joy into our hearts during this holiday season I thought that we would stick with the ideas already presented and delve into new information next week.  I received an email message from a friend sharing her experience with witnessing.  As you can see she has been studying some of Joel Goldsmith’s material.  Here is her message:     

“There's been a change in plans.  We are going to my Mom's on Christmas Eve.  I will go early in the afternoon to help get dinner ready.  I also plan to spend the night with her.  This way her caregiver can have most of the afternoon and night off.  I'm doing this as much for dear Florence (the caregiver) as I am for Mom.  And, I don't need to be in the sanctuary to feel God's presence.  I feel very blessed for the beautiful work that has come to me this year through my friend Bill Skiles...the Infinite Way Teacher.  All of it points to being a beholder or witness.   So thank you for your beautiful blogs as well.  I am winding down this year immersed in Spiritual perspectives as they just keep on coming to me. So I am not concerned with what the "i" is or is not doing anymore.  I'm just relaxing back and letting spirits gifts flow to me and through me.”


As the song says, “Do you hear what I hear?” Her plans for Christmas changed.  Instead of spending Christmas Eve in a place that is VERY special to her (and then going to her Mom’s on Christmas Day), she is being the caregiver for her Mom on both Christmas Eve and Day.  The most noteworthy part is that she is not concerned with what the human personality or little “i” is doing because she is relaxing and letting spirits gifts flow to her and through her.  Beautiful.

When we move our awareness to the witness, we are opening ourselves up to letting spirits gifts flow to us and through us. 

Is there any gift greater than this that we could give or receive this holiday season?
