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.

Beyond Fear

The spiritual path is a path to freedom…freedom from the tyranny of the egoic, limited self.

One of the biggest fears that blocks us from realizing this Freedom is the fear of letting go (i.e., surrendering or leaving the comfort of one’s beliefs, expectations, judgments, sense of control).

Every time I whole-heartedly surrender my life to God something inevitably occurs that causes me to come face-to-face with the areas where I am blocked (i.e., the areas of my life where I struggle the most). I have a decision at this point to either resist and struggle with what is showing up or continue to let go.

If I choose to let go, then right in the midst of the confusion or fear or stress I breath in and out through my heart.  I get out of my head by noticing what I am feeling both emotionally and physically.  I surrender my concerns and ask God for guidance.  I express gratitude that an area where I have been blocked is now free to be released.

When I let go, I am taking down my walls one brick at a time (Think of Michael Singer's analogy of the dark house built in the middle of the sunlit field).  I am surrendering my life to God one moment at a time.  I am not allowing fear to stop me from knowing and experiencing the truth of my Being. There is freedom on the other side of the fear.  The question is, am I willing to experience the discomfort of letting go in order to experience this Freedom?
