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.

Take no thought

Whenever I am having a worrisome or unwanted thought, it is so freeing to remind myself that those thoughts are not real...my thoughts are just the ramblings of the neurotic roommate…they are not based on fact…they are not reality.  I remind myself often that I do not need to pay attention to my thoughts.   For example, if a worrisome thought about finances pops up I remind myself that my ego does not have the answers to my financial status and that God is my source of all that I need.  If the feeling of worry persists I allow it to be and I relax my body.  Sometimes the feeling moves through me.  If it does not, I continue to allow it to be but I do not feed it with additional thoughts of worry.  

The same can be applied to thoughts about health, relationships…

I practice not listening to my mind, no matter what it is saying.  As I let go of worrisome thoughts, judgments, commentary about what is or isn’t happening, what I expect, what I think I need, and conclusions that I have drawn my life seems less complicated.

It is not productive to deal with the incessant chatter of my mind.  It is productive to deal with what is right in front of me.  I deal with life with much more clarity when I let go of the chatter in my mind. 

Michele Longo O’Donnell:

If we remove from our mind a thought that has kept us from realizing the Presence of Spirit, then because we have provided space for it, Spirit will move into that space provided. It will appear in whatever way or form that will correct the human condition.
