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.

an expression of the One Life

When I live my life from ego rather than from Truth, I experience a lack of harmony, less joy and more struggle.  Ego keeps me trapped in my head. I do not check in with my heart nor do I listen to a deeper wisdom that comes from Spirit.

Michelle Longo O'Donnell talks about letting go of the separate sense of self and tuning in to a deeper wisdom:

"Realizing that our life is not 'our own' but that we have been sent here with a definite purpose is the beginning of  'entering in.'  This will cause us to give up any extreme sense of personal responsibility for our bodies (or finances or relationships...), and for the decisions we will need to make in our lives.  We will have a sense of this life as being an expression of the One Life, and then as decisions come up, we will be able to pause and ask for counsel and wisdom and direction...an know that we will receive it."  (The God That We've Created:The Basic Cause of all Disease, p. 189-190)

As I remember that God is all powerful and all good then I can let go of positionalities, desires, anxiety and worry, and any sense of personal responsibility.  As Jesus said "It is not I but the Father within me that doeth the work."  I rest with confidence, knowing that all of my needs are met.

When I notice that my ego is in control I remind myself that I am One with God.  I move into the silence and listen for God.
