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.

"Do you hear what I hear?"

The question is, do we want to listen to the thoughts in our head (the neurotic roommate) or do we want to listen to God?

I had heard that the winter solstice (which was last Friday night) can be a time of personal transformation.  I spent some time in meditation that night and opening to a higher sense of Self.  At the same time I was experiencing some sadness related to a situation in my life.  When I woke the next morning I initially thought about the situation which was bothering me.  I decided not to listen to these thoughts and instead to listen to God about this situation.  The bothersome thoughts and feelings about the situation completely disappeared.

Since then I have not been able to completely stop listening to my psyche although the thoughts and feelings about that particular situation have not returned.

It is possible to transcend the human drama by choosing to align our thoughts with the God within.  Whenever I am taken off center (out of peace) by a thought or feeling I remind myself to let it go and return my attention to listening to God.

On this Eve of the birth of more Light, Truth, and Joy in our lives I solidify my intention to listen to God and to listen for God instead of listening to the voice in my head.

Do you hear what I hear?

Merry Christmas!
