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

In chapter 14 Michael talks about how it is a struggle to keep up this identity...to make every thing go the way we think it should every minute of every day.

He says "What it means to live spiritually is to not participate in this struggle.  It means that events that happen in the moment belong to the moment.  They do not belong to you." (T.U.S., p. 134) 

You are the witness to the moment.  Let the moments pass through you.  Do not cling to them.  Let go of the urge to fix the situation.  Michael says there are 2 things that we need to do to let go.  The first is to relax, especially the heart.  And second, we need to fall back.  Instead of diving in and getting involved with the situation, fall back and let go. 

Today, see how long you can keep your awareness on the Observer/Witness and let the moments of the day pass through you.
