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.

experience the moment

Today I am experiencing a head cold.  I am keeping my heart and chest relaxed and open...Michael (and others) say that this can help the body to heal.  I am observing what it is like to be a human being experiencing a cold.

Back to chapter 14.  Please check out the first paragraph on page 135.  Here is a little bit of it:

 "Why should anything that anyone says or does cause you to get disturbed? You're just on a planet spinning around the middle of absolutely nowhere.  You came here to visit for a handful of years and then you're going to leave.  How can you live all stressed-out over everything?..." (T.U.S., p. 135)

Michael goes on to say that the only reason things bother us is because they hit our "model" - the identity that we have given ourselves and others.

How nice it would be to be able to let the model go and greet each moment as it is showing up (instead of how I think it should be showing up).  Whether the moment includes a head cold, rainy weather, a new car, or a reunion with a loved one...touch it and then let it go.  Although it seems like clinging, worrying and ruminating about our lives causes us to 'get it right,' it is actually when we experience and then let go of situations that they are able to deeply change us.

Happy spinning!
