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.

"Thoughts stay because we invite them to stay."

At various moments throughout the past week I have noticed when I have been perceiving life through the egoic, limited mind and when I have been peering through the lens of my deepest Truth. Everything changes when I perceive and act from my highest Truth - I feel more peaceful and loving, I judge less, I let things go more easily, and my words and actions have a greater positive impact on my world.

Yesterday morning I found myself stuck in the egoic mind.  I was holding onto some negativity about a situation, judging myself and others, and feeling irritated.  I saw what was happening but was unable to let it go.  I decided to re-affirm my intention to embody love.  I searched deep within myself for the decision to let go of this negativity and I surrendered it to God.  I then did a little yoga to center myself and a few minutes later the negativity lifted and I felt a sense of love and gratitude.  Every time this kind of negativity returns I remind myself of my intention and I surrender it to God.  

Michael Singer says "Thoughts stay because we invite them to stay."  I can see that the egoic mind wants to hold onto negativity.  It will always return to being disgruntled about something...it needs to in order to maintain a sense of separation.  But the reality is that there is no separation because at our core we are all made of the same Divinity.

I will continue to choose to perceive life through the lens of my highest Truth...that God is expressing Itself as Love and Joy in every moment.  I will align with that Truth during this Holiday season, thus allowing more Light to shine in our world.
