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 the mind

A native American elder who spends a couple of hours each day without thought reports that he has learned to live in harmony with life without relying on his intellect.  Fishing is a big part of his culture and he does so without relying on the thinking mind.  He and other fisherman in his village locate sea lions and halibut with incredible accuracy by relying on their intuition, senses, and the wisdom that comes from connecting with One Mind.

All week long I have been reminding myself that there are ways to live from a place of wisdom that does not rely on the intellect.

As I watch my life unfold and watch my reactions to my life, I am aware that life is showing me how I need to open up and what I need to let go of.  Instead of looking at so-called problems as something to get me down, I see them as opportunities to grow.  Life always shows me where I need to grow just the way that life is guiding the Native American fishermen to the fish.  I find that when I move out of the judgmental and analytical mind and ground myself in what is showing up, insights and guidance arise on there own.  Thank you life.
