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.

letting go of the personal self

To paraphrase something that Michael said on one of his CDs:  "You need to learn to be able to handle your emotions."  What he is talking about here is that we need to learn to stay centered regardless of what emotion we are feeling or what circumstance we are dealing with.  You cannot let the experience that you are having determine what kind of day you are going to have.  Remember you are the experiencer not the experience.  This requires letting go when a feeling or circumstance has captured your awareness (e.g., when you feel disappointed because such and such has happened).

Michael points out that we need to go through this process of letting the pain pass because it is blocking our hearts and minds.  When we do this we are letting go of the personal self, and, the heart will open.  "You will then be able to walk through this world more vibrant and alive than ever before...You will begin to have truly beautiful experiences rise up within you.  Eventually you will understand that there is an ocean of love behind all of this fear and pain...Peace and love will run your life." (T.U.S., p. 106-107)

It is possible to reach this goal.  Just "Let go and Let God."
