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.

Embodied Confidence

As I practiced "accepting life" this week, I recognized that resisting my experiences in life (i.e., ignoring or avoiding unwanted thoughts and feelings) keeps me from joyfully moving through life with an open-heart.  Holding on to my experiences in life (i.e., clinging to sadness, fear, happiness etc.) has the same outcome.  When I choose to accept what is happening in my life and allowing the experiences to move through me, I connect with a deeper sense of peace and love.

I re-read my intention for 2014 (written during a visualization exercise last January at CSLCV) and it solidified these ideas about accepting life as it is showing up.

Here are the first 3 questions and my responses:

What is Spirit's highest vision for you? The shell is cracked open and Spirit flows freely.
What do you need to embrace in order for this to happen? Embodied confidence (The word "confidence" actually means "with faith.")
What do you need to let go of in order for this to happen? Fear

It struck me that I can accept whatever is occurring in my life because I have faith/confidence that life unfolds in perfect order and harmony, and, that I am always being guided and supported.  I also embody confidence in my ability to connect with the wisdom of my Higher Self in any situation.

I do not need to worry or resist anything that is showing up because there is something greater than me operating in my life.  And although I may not know exactly how my good will come to me, I am am confident that good is always unfolding in my life.  For example, the source of income may not be clear but I can rest assured that my material needs will be provided for...just as the birds never worry about where their next worm will be coming from.

There will likely be some pain, loss and disappointment along the way but I stand in the faith that as I relax into my life instead of fighting it, I will be taken care of.  When fear arises I feel into it, let go of any thoughts or conclusions that will keep it in place, and open my mind and heart to a Higher Consciousness that is the Truth of my Being.
