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.

intimacy

I find it challenging to surrender to the unknown in certain areas of my life, such as in relationships. There is a mountain of love inside of me that wants to be expressed, that is demanding to be expressed, yet there is a dam in front of the love holding it back.  The dam is made of fear, ego-concerns...blah, blah, blah.   This week I have practiced being vulnerable with others.  I do this by reminding myself before dealing with another person that "I am safe" and that I choose to be present and intimate/vulnerable.  Adya talks about intimacy as a willingness to be vulnerable with others, even with strangers.  That doesn't mean telling others our life story, it means showing up in relationships/conversations without needing to defend oneself.

I choose to practice surrendering to the unknown by showing up in relationships with an open heart and an open mind, letting my walls down, trusting that it is safe to express myself, and allowing Love to pour through me, in me, and as me.
