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.

Be A Good Steward of Your Life

Being a good steward of your life means

 "that you are not using spirituality to avoid any aspects of your life...The Way of Liberation is a way of completely facing yourself and your life without withdrawing into denial, judgment, or magical thinking. It is a means of piercing through the veils of illusion and awakening to Truth."  (The Way of Liberation, p. 7)

I find the best way to completely face my life is by being present in each moment. I remind myself to fully immerse myself in the moment...noticing and accepting what is happening, what I am thinking, and what I am feeling.  Sometimes this tends to simplify things as I realize that I only have to deal with what is happening now, not anything that might happen in the future nor anything that happened in the past.  This can make things more clear.  I may recognize an old tape that I am listening to in my head and decide to let it go.  At other times I notice pain or discomfort.  As Adya points out, the key is to notice without denial, judgment or magical thinking.    

Whatever is happening in the moment is important.  It can help us to awaken.

"Your life, all of your life, is your path to awakening...Pay attention to what life is trying to reveal to you.  Say yes to its fierce, ruthless, and loving grace."  (p. 7)
