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.

transcending the personal

"This path (of unconditional happiness) leads you to absolute transcendance because any part of your being that would add a condition to your commitment to happiness has got to go...you have to let go of the part of you that wants to create melodrama...the part that thinks there's a reason not to be happy...you have to transcend the personal, and as you do, you will naturally awaken to the higher aspects of your being."  (T.U.S., p. 143)

Transcend the personal...so I guess its not all about me after all.  If I want to stay happy then I can't let it be all about me.

Sometimes when I move to the Observer, it feels like such a relief to let go of the melodrama of my life.  The Observer is a place to rest.  It sometimes feels like I am taking a welcome vacation from the psyche or ego.

How lovely it would be to just sit back and watch life unfold and enjoy the experience.  Since life is going to happen the way it is going to happen I might as well enjoy the ride.  Is there really any other choice?  I could continue to try to arrange everything and everyone in my life in order to make it work, or, I can let go and choose to be happy...

Please join me today in choosing to be happy no matter what. And when life hits your stuff and the happiness seems to disappear, remember that you are just cleaning out the closets of your psyche...be grateful that life is showing you what has to go.  With a deep breath relax into the Observer and be happy!
