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.

your life's purpose

"The purpose of your life is to enjoy and learn from your experiences.  You were not put on Earth to suffer...you were born and you are going to die.  During the time in between, you get to choose whether or not you want to enjoy the experience." (T.U.S., p. 143).

There is such wisdom in this quote.  I love the realization that the purpose for my life is to enjoy it and learn from it.

I've been practicing the path of unconditional happiness all week and as expected I've had a big challenge arise (I'm sure it would have happened anyway, even if I wasn't practicing this path).  It was tempting to stay in my head and try to figure out the problem and fix it.  However since I was choosing happiness, I decided to witness and release my concerns.  And as I did, I found guidance.  In retrospect I see that this challenge is life's way of showing me something that I need to learn.    

Michael says that "The choice to enjoy life will lead you through your spiritual journey...(it) will teach you everything there is to learn about yourself, about others, about the nature of life." (T.U.S., p. 144). 

If you are serious about choosing to be happy for the rest of your life, when something comes up to disrupt your happiness be grateful for it, let it go, and affirm your happiness.
