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.

listen

Since life is uncertain and I cannot rely on my limited egoic mind to tell me what to do, then relying on God (i.e., the Universe, my Higher Self...) seems to be a good choice.

This requires listening.

It has been suggested that we "Stop telling God what to do and listen to God instead."

Adyashanti emphasizes being in the silence as a way to listen.  He gives three steps to meditation which I find to be very helpful at quieting my noisy mind:

Enter into stillness
Open your heart and mind
Lovingly return to Source.

I remind myself that God is always communicating with me.  If I am caught up in the world or in my conditioned self then I will miss what God is saying to me.  I choose to spend more time in the silence...more time listening and communing with God.
