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.

"Always work with the mind, not the the world."

One of my favorite quotes from Michael Singer goes something like "Always work with the mind, not the the world."

It is the mind (i.e., conditioned thoughts from our past experiences) that causes the lack of harmony in our lives.  Although life can seem challenging at times, most of these problems are caused by the meaning that we give to situations rather than the actual situations themselves.  Noticing the chatter in the mind and choosing to let it go allows us to approach each moment with a fresh perspective and can greatly change our experience.

I have been working on showing up in relationships without an agenda, judgment, expectations...  When I open to the moment without listening to the mind something lovely often blossoms.  Why wouldn't this be so? We are already connected.  When we let go of the egoic chatter we are allowing the unity and love that we are to show up.

When  a challenging situation arises I ask myself, "What am I holding onto that is blocking me from experiencing my good?"

It is always an inside job.

I choose to set the world free.

I work on my mind.
