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.

life knows what it is doing

 When a so-called "negative" experience showed up in Michael Singer's life he simply surrendered any preferences for or against what was happening and returned his awareness to the peace within.  He did not seem to be at all interested in figuring out why he was manifesting any particular situation.  Instead he let go and allowed the natural process of life to remove what needed to be removed.  Michael's process was consistently one of letting go, returning his awareness to the peace within and taking care of whatever tasks were presented to him.  As a result his life experiences have been truly amazing.  And although there were challenges, situations always righted themselves as Michael continued to surrender no matter what was showing up.

In talking about the idea that life knows what it is doing Michael says:

"At some point there is no more struggle, just the deep peace that comes from surrendering to a perfection that is beyond your comprehension.  Eventually, the mind stops resisting, and the heart loses the tendency to close.  The joy, excitement, and freedom are simply too beautiful to give up. Once you are ready to let go of yourself, life becomes your friend, your teacher, your secret lover. When life's way becomes your way, all the noise stops, and there is a great peace."  (The Surrender Experiment, p. 252)
