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.

letting go of the personal self

Michael (and many others) talk about letting go of the lower vibrations/energies in order to access the spiritual Self.  It's all about letting go of the personal self and then you will experience your true Self, that which is aligned with Spirit.

"The personal self cannot touch Spirit...As you let go and willingly release the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of your being, Spirit becomes your state...You naturally begin to experience the vibrations that were described by the great saints and sages of different traditions." (T.U.S., p. 175)

From this perspective it seems like there is nothing to do except witness and release...all day long, just letting go.  Sounds simple enough yet so hard to do. 

Life is so seductive, always luring us into the world of effects/ego. 

As stated in the quote above, being willing to release that which belongs to my psyche and my body is very important.  Even if I am struggling with letting something go, setting the intention to do so can make all of the difference. 

From now on I will wear a bracelet as a reminder to witness and let go.  Every time I notice the bracelet I will notice my inner experience and will choose to let go of the personal self. 

Join me if you will!
