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.

happiness and beyond

I am finding lots of benefits to following the path of unconditional happiness.  When I choose unconditional happiness it lightens my mood and I can deal with what is right in front of me with more energy and clarity.  Although choosing happiness doesn't take all of the pain or anxiety away, it allows me to get out of feeling bogged down by a problem.  Without all of that negative energy I can usually see more clearly and I have the energy to act in a positive way.  It really is a beautiful path to be on.

Although this may not work for everyone, what helps me to shift into a state of happiness is the realization that God is unfolding my life in perfect order and harmony.  I say to myself "I accept only God's will for my life" and that helps me to happily accept what is in front of me.  Michael suggest that one can be happy just to be alive or just to be breathing.

"If you remain spontaneously happy and centered no matter what happens, you will find God...Yes, you will find happiness, but that's nothing compared to what you're really going to find."  (T.U.S., p. 147).
