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.

knowing God

"But ultimately, how do you really know anything about God?...You know because those who have gone beyond have come back and said that the Spirit you're experiencing is the doorway to God...(As they let go of their personal identity) there was only the ultimate expansiveness of their sense of Self merging into the love and light."  (T.U.S., p. 175)  To read more look at the last paragraph on page 175. 

"Ultimately, the only way to know about God is by letting your being merge into The Being, and then seeing what happens to you." (T.U.S., p. 176)

This sounds very exciting. Joining with God...knowing God experientially...embodying qualities of God...all beautiful thoughts. 

Here's a description of letting go of the personal identity: "When consciousness stops identifying itself as the ray, it comes to know itself as the sun." (T.U.S., p. 176)  From this perspective, the decision to let go of the personal identity is a no-brainer.  On a daily basis it seems much more difficult.  Maybe it doesn't have to be that way.  Maybe I can let go without so much fear and resistance.  If there is only love and light waiting for me on the other side of this ego/psyche what am I waiting for???????

Please join me today in letting go, again and again and again...
