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.

Surrender and Trust

As I have posted lately, I am working on surrendering expectations, preferences, desires etc and dealing with what life presents to me.  I have noticed that letting go of expectations means not only letting go of what I want to happen but also letting go of the negative expectations (e.g., "I will never have enough money for..." or expecting a negative outcome in a relationship, health issue etc.).

The practice is to accept that I do not know what is going to happen in my life, and to deal with what is happening in the present moment.  Easier said than done.

I notice that my ego really does not want to give up control (or the illusion of control is more to the point).  I have compassion for my self...recognizing the fear and discomfort of letting go.  At the same time I recognize that there is a Divine dance occurring as my life.  I remind myself that "Life knows what it is doing." And with a deep, relaxing breath I let go and trust God to lead the way.
