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.

no decisions

"There are no decisions; there is only interaction with what is in front of you.  Decisions come because you have attachments, desires, and fears.  The only thing that will help you is to let go. If you let go of your stuff, there are no decisions--there is just life."  Michael Singer

When I let go of desires, attachments, and fears everything becomes more clear and the way to respond to what is right in front of me naturally reveals itself.

Recently I had a financial decision to make and although I had the money to deal with the situation, I was feeling anxious about spending the money thinking that I might need it in the future. When I let go of this anxiety/fear (by reminding myself that my needs are always being met), it became clear that I should proceed with the situation and spend the money.

Life is always showing us the way.  The question is, 'Are we paying attention to life or are we paying attention to our fears, attachments or desires?'
