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.

opening to Self

Whatever is happening right now in your life is not who you are.  You and I are so much more than we can even imagine.  Let us not let whatever worldly event is going on, define us.  We are so much more than what we are feeling, thinking, and doing.  We are made in the image and likeness of God.  We are One with Spirit.

If we want to embody the deeper Truth of who we really are, than we need to let go of the false sense of self that we call our personality or personal identity (AKA, the psyche, ego, persona).

There is a choice in each moment to either cling to and build that personal self or relax our belly, open our heart, and move our awareness to the self as the Observer.  This is the doorway to God.  Have you heard it said that you must lose yourself in order to find your Self?

It is easy to resist what is happening in the moment especially when I am uncomfortable.  One of my favorite ways to do this is to jump right into my head to try to "figure it all out."  When I stay grounded in my body and open my heart I am more likely to remember to observe and release.


I set the intention to experience this week with a relaxed belly, an open heart, and an alert mind.  My mind is alert to what it is noticing...am I lost in the thoughts of the psyche or am I aware of my Self as the Watcher of my thoughts?  With an open heart I am kind and gentle with myself and I see others through soft eyes.  I accept what is happening and I let it go, allowing a higher expression of who I am to pour forth.
