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.

Enjoy life

Check out the paragraph on the top of page 93.  "You are capable of ceasing the absurdity of listening to the perpetual problems of the psyche... You can wake up in the morning, look forward to the day...not worry...just have fun doing your best...at night when you go to sleep, you let it all go."  (T.U.S., p. 94).

That is the best description of how to do life that I have ever heard. 

Remember that your mind/psyche will fight you on this... it will not be happy no matter what.  I find it helpful to not expect the mind to be happy.  Instead I am prepared for the insane chatter to start at some point letting me know what I should worry about or fix.  But I am stronger than this voice.  I am wiser than this voice.  I am one with the Omniscient, Omnipotent Source of Joy! 

My psyche is screwed up.  I do not need to listen.

I see how much the psyche wants to hold onto situations, analyzing them, fine-tuning my response to things, helping me to navigate in this world.  But I know that this doesn't work.  My sense of guidance about how to get through life doesn't come from the egoic mind.  It comes from the wisdom that resides deep within my Soul.  It comes from my connection with God.  So I choose to no longer expect my mind to fix all of my problems.   

Please join me in transcending the voice of the roommate by observing and releasing and moving into a higher realization of your true Self.

Choose to be happy and let the rest go.
