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.

letting life call the shots

Here is how Michael describes his practice:

"I could see that the practice of surrender was actually done in two, very distinctive steps: first, you let go of the personal reactions of like and dislike that form inside your mind and heart; and second with the resultant sense of clarity, you simply look to see what is being asked of you by the situation unfolding in front of you. What would you be doing if you weren't being influenced by the reactions of like and dislike?  Following that deeper guidance will take your life in a very different direction from where your preferences would have led you." (The Surrender Experiment, p. 65)

Nothing new or out of the ordinary has presented itself to me, therefore, there has not been much for me to say 'yes' to this past week.  However, I have been focusing on letting go of expectations (both negative and positive), preferences, and desires.

I have also been spending lots of time in the silence/meditation in order to develop a connection with the deeper guidance.

Please join me in letting go of  likes and dislikes, and letting life call the shots.
