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.

chapter 19 the loving eyes of God

"Fortunately deep within us, there is a direct connection to the Divine...You can consciously choose to identify with that part, rather than with the psyche or body.  When you do this a natural transformation begins to take place within you." (T.U.S., p. 173).  

Michael goes on to say that when we let go of lower vibrations (i.e., the personal self) we begin to identify with the pure energy of Spirit which feels good, open, high...  Each time we witness and release we are taking a step closer to embodying the energy of Spirit.

This is hard work, letting go of the personal self, but for me it is the only way to do life.  The psyche and the body will never be content.  Trying to achieve peace by working with the world and improving my personal self is not the solution.  Michael says that our work should always be to work with the mind, not with the world.

As I identify more with Spirit and less with the personal self I will experience "love for no reason...openness, beauty and appreciation..."  (T.U.S., p. 174-175).

Imagine what it would be like to see the world through the loving eyes of God.  It is possible.  I do not have to spend the rest of my life looking through the eyes of judgment, anxiety, fear, and doubt.  All it takes is the courage to let go...let go of the opinions, the expectations, the personal identity. 

Others have done it. 

I can too and so can you.
