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.

the central issue of life

"Most of us live in a state where our being has long ago been exiled to the shadow realm of our silent anguish.  At times being will break through the fabric of our unconsciousness to remind us that we are not living the life we could be living, the life that truly matters.  At other times being will recede into the background silently waiting for our devoted attention.  But make no mistake: being--your being--is the central issue of life." (The Way of Liberation, p. 10)

The egoic part of me that wants to see itself as separate and in-charge wants to stay away from being.

But, I am not this little self.  I can choose where I put my awareness and how I spend my precious moments on this planet.  I choose to let go of all of the energy that I have wasted on fear, worry, judgments, and illusions about reality.  I choose to let go of the reigns and relax into the present moment.  I surrender into the beingness that I am because I know that I am One with that which created and sustains life.

I choose to live a life that truly matters.
