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.

consciously choose alignment with Divinity and Truth

I have been practicing letting go of expectations and not attaching to situations in my life.  I've been saying to myself: "I wonder what today will bring,"  "I wonder how this situation is going to play out," or "Look what my ego is feeling now."

I remind myself that God is my source of Love, Peace, and Joy. I know that looking to the world as my source of good will not work.  The goal is to accept what life has to offer in each moment (both the so-called good and bad) and to allow it to change me, to grow me.  I move my awareness to the neutral observer as often as possible.  I sit in the silence daily to open to Spirit/God/Higher Self.

I find it is becoming easier to rest as the Awareness and to let go of the attachments.  

I sense the vast field of Love, Joy, and Peace that awaits me as I let go more and more.

When the feelings arise and I am having difficulty letting them go, I choose to align with God's will.  Here is an excerpt from "Transcending the Levels of Consciousness" by David Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D discussing this idea:

"Jesus Christ said that fear is the last hindrance to be overcome.  From the viewpoint of consciousness research and its evolution, all fear is a product of the persistence of the ego and its failure to relinquish its sovereignty to the will of God.  Active surrender to God's will is by choice and is a decision of the will... To consciously choose alignment with Divinity and Truth is empowering and shifts identity from the self to the Self, resulting in an increase in confidence, courage, and personal dignity rather than self-abasement or self-denigration."  (pp.116-117)

May we all consciously choose alignment with Divinity and Truth as we enter into this holiday season...letting go of fear, egoic control, and all limiting illusions.

We say "Yes" to the highest and best expression of Life showing up in, as, and through each of us.
