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.

A David Hawkins video on health

Check out this video by David Hawkins, M.D. regarding health and consciousness.

https://www.hayhouseworldsummit.com/lessons/health-healing-and-the-map-of-consciousness/

According to David it is our belief in the power of disease and a personal sense of guilt that cause illness.

I have been doing some Spring cleaning of my consciousness in order to recognize any unwanted beliefs.  Despite a significant shift in my ability to be positive as well as kind and gentle with myself and others, certain unwanted thoughts and beliefs persist. I replace these thoughts with forgiveness and compassion.

I believe that God wants the best for us at all times.  Heaven is within and as I release deep-seated negative beliefs (including the belief that God sends us certain situations in order to help us learn and grow) I can experience Heaven right here and right now.

I release the limiting beliefs and surrender my life to God knowing that God as Pure Love wants me to thrive in every area of my life.  And so it is!

a prayer

This is a prayer that I wrote based on Michelle Longo O'Donnell's teachings in The God That We've Created: The Basic Cause of All Disease.

God, I surrender my life to you each moment of every day.  Help me to release any fear related to letting go and completely trusting you with my life and my well-being.

I accept Your will and only Your will. No matter what is happening in my life, I know that you are bringing the Highest good in all areas of my life.

Help me to see what I have forgotten.  Help me to know what I need to know.  Guide me in all areas of my life.

Deliver me from human consciousness.  I am willing to give up my present sense of my life and let another sense of Life emerge.

Help me to release all resistances, fears, judgments, limiting beliefs, expectations, desires, and ideas of separation.  I let go of effort and trying to control my circumstances.

I feel what is present and release what I feel.  I fully engage in each moment and release it in order to be fully present in the next moment.

I lean into Spirit.  I align myself with Truth...that I am made in Your image and likeness and that You are my source, not this world.

I open my heart to give and receive Love.  I am Love and I am loved and so is everyone else.  We are neither worthy nor unworthy but we are Love and we are loved because we are an expression of You, an expression of Life.

Help me to release any expectations about (fill in the blank with something that you are struggling with).  I stay in this moment...opening to the Spirit of One Life that is everywhere present.  I submerge myself in God.  I accept all Good in whatever form You choose for me.

I say Yes to Your will. I accept only Your will.  I surrender and I serve You dear Lord.

With gratitude I release these words knowing that they are done according to Your will.  And so it is.

God knows no vacuum

Moving into the Mystery means letting go of what we think is true and opening to the Divine Truth,

"God knows no vacuum.  If we remove from our mind a thought that has kept us from realizing the Presence of Spirit, then because we have provided space for it, Spirit will move into that space provided.  It will appear in whatever way or form that will correct the human condition."  (The God that We Created, p. 139)

How many limiting beliefs are we holding onto that keep us from realizing Heaven on Earth?

the mystery

Just finished a Mutual Awakening practice with the year-long intensive group that I am working with called the Evolutionary Collective lead by Patricia Albere.   The practice brought me to a place similar to deep meditation (although my eyes were open and I was verbally sharing the experience with others).  It felt like God/Spirit had enveloped the four of us in a state of peace and there was nothing to do except surrender into the Power that had taken us.

It was a vastly different experience from living from ego and it beckons me to surrender more completely to the mysterious nature of God.

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.  It is the source of all true art and all science.  He to whom this "emotion" is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder, or stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead.  His eyes are closed."  --Albert Einstein, Master of Both Dualistic and Nondualistic Thinking

"And the end of that road is Peace"

Whether I am reading David Hawkins, Michael Singer, Michele Longo O'Donnell, Adyashanti or listening to Patricia Albere (who is co-founder of the Evolutionary Collective) the same message comes through...surrender.   It always comes down to surrendering my egoic positions, preferences, resistances, and expectations and opening to a Higher Truth.

Michele Longo O'Donnell talks about letting go of all preferred outcomes, being still and waiting/listening for guidance.

"You can let go of your tight grip knowing that what you surrender will come back to you in abundance...The answer from God will never hurt you, or cause you pain.  You may walk through some pretty strange places, but He will go before you to make the crooked road straight.  The goodness and abundance of God awaits you for your faithfulness to listen and follow.  Every situation will teach you and cause you to rise higher and higher into the Mind and understanding of God. And the end of that road is Peace."  (The God that We've Created: The Basic Cause of All Disease, Michele Longo O'Donnell, pp. 159-160)    

I am not in charge nor am I in control of most things that occur in my life.

I surrender to Divine Love knowing that I am being cared for, no matter what appears to be happening in my life.  I refuse to give in to egoic fears, limiting beliefs and the preferences of the separate self (which are small minded, self-centered, fear-based, judgmental, and dualistic).

I actively and repeatedly surrender my ego and I wait upon Divine Mind to show me the way home.  I am Love and I am loved, therefore, all is well in my world.
