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 path of nonresistance

I recently heard a very sweet, spiritual man give a talk about his life.  He was a Hindu monk for about 29 years.  At this point in his life he is experiencing a health issue that is debilitating.  Instead of being bitter, his attitude is one of acceptance.  He said that he is going to experience it all...whatever it is that life has to offer. This is the path of nonresistance (see chapter 16 of The Untethered Soul "The Spiritual Path of Nonresistance").

I have been sitting with what I heard from the speaker this week.  What if we are not here to solve all of life's problems, nor to arrange our lives so that we can have peace and happiness?  What if the reason we are here is to wake up to the truth of who we are...expressions of Divine Love?

Life can be very difficult.  And in the difficult moments it can be very challenging to let go of struggle, blame, fear, efforts to control life, and, accept what is showing up.  But as we do so, we open to a higher reality and a deeper peace than what the world could ever give us.

I know that this body that I inhabit and the persona that I present to the world are not who I really am.  I am much, much more.  Protecting this identity and fighting with life no longer serve me.  I choose to move into acceptance, thus opening myself to God's will flowing in, as, and through my life.
