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.

holding thoughts lightly


It has been really useful for me to hold my thoughts lightly, and, see the world through innocent eyes.  Sometimes it can be hard to "let go" of a thought, but when I hold a thought lightly it no longer seems as meaningful or important and I find that I let it go more easily. 

I realize how much weight I have given to my thoughts.  I now know that these thoughts are conditioned responses based on my past experiences and not necessarily an indicator of how I need to live my life.  Of course we have to think about things in our lives, but I am seeing that my thoughts and emotions (which I will focus on in the next blog) do not need to run the show.  I now choose to hold them lightly and allow a deeper Truth to come forth.
 
This reminds me of the Bible phrase “You can’t put new wine into old wineskins” and the idea from Einstein that you can’t fix a problem with the same consciousness that created it.  I am ready for a new Consciousness.  I will hold my thoughts lightly, thus making room for Truth to express in, as, and through me.
