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.

"Never Abdicate Your Authority"

This is another of Adya's foundations.

"This means that you take full responsibility for your life and never forfeit it over to someone else."  (The Way of Liberation, p. 4)

Spiritual teachers and spiritual teachings are supposed to point us toward Reality but they are not Reality in and of themselves.

"To be in a true and mature relationship with a spiritual teaching requires you to apply it, not simply believe in it."  (The Way of Liberation, p. 5)

This week I have been focusing a lot on bringing my awareness to the Witness and noticing my experiences.  I have been noticing my feelings, whether or not my heart is open, and the tension in my body.  I have noticed if I am being honest with myself about what I am thinking and feeling.

It is so easy to see everything that is happening in my life as "reality."  And at the same time I notice that my perceptions of people, places and things can change dramatically and quickly...then what is reality?  As Adya and Michael Singer tell us, there is an Essence within each of us that knows Reality.  However true this is, I cannot rely on what these Spiritual Masters have said to change my experience of Life, Self, and Reality...I must apply what they have said thus making room for a new experience.

This being said, I move into this week with a lighter hold on what is happening in my life and I remind myself to watch and let go.
