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.

The Secret of the Ascent

Michael suggests letting go as soon as possible.  Otherwise our consciousness will get sucked into the drama and it will be more difficult to let go.  And we may say or do things once we are sucked into the drama that will further deepen the pit that we are trapped in. 

Michael says that laws of attraction will cause our consciousness to be attracted to that which distracts it the most, including a blockage from the past.  Letting go allows that blocked energy to be released. 

"When it is released and allowed to flow up it becomes purified and merges back into your center of consciousness.  This energy then strengthens you instead of weakening you.You begin to go up and up...The secret of the ascent is to never look down-always look up." (T.U.S. p. 78). 

By staying seated in the Self you can allow yourself (the roommate) to experience the darkness but you do not have to get involved with it.  Observe and release.  "The bigger it is the higher the reward of letting go and the worse the fall if you don't." (T.U.S. p. 79).

Practice today keeping your attention focused on the highest state of consciousness that you can imagine.  Then notice when life hits your stuff and open your heart and let it go.
