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.

Wake up or perish

I see the pull that the world has on my awareness.  The pull is for the ego to get something...whether it be to get recognition, love, friendship, respect, security, peace of mind...or to get something materialistic...or to get more time...  The list of wants and needs that my ego has is insatiable.

I can stop feeding the ego by letting go of the believe that I need any of these things in order to be okay or to be happy.

Letting go of my attachment to this egoic self has increased my desire to know and embody who I really am.  

I will be using Adyashanti's book, The Way of Liberation, to wake up to a deeper experience of Self.  (It is a short paperback book and can be purchased for $10).  

Here is what Adya has to say about this point in time:  "Awakening to Reality is no longer a possibility; it is an imperative.  We have sailed the ship of delusion about as far as she can carry us.  We have run her ashore and now find ourselves shipwrecked on an increasingly desolate land.  Our options have imploded.  'Wake up or perish' is the spiritual call of our times.  Did we ever need more motivation than this?  And yet all is eternally well, and more well than can be imagined."  (The Way of Liberation, Introduction xiii)

If you want a different experience of your life...if you want to experience that everything is eternally well, please join me in choosing the way of Liberation.  This is not an easy path.  It involves letting go of the known and trusting God to take care of everything.  It involves letting go of the self, the identity that we use to navigate through life.  It means letting go of judgments and expectations and desires.  It is a tall order but as Adya says, did we ever need more motivation than what we have now?
