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 to Life

Here is a synopsis of Michael Singer's surrender experiment:

"The flow of life had served as sandpaper that, to a great extent, freed me of myself.  Unable to unbind myself from the incessant pull of my psyche, in an act of sheer desperation, I had thrown myself into the arms of life.  From that point forward, all I did was my very best to serve what was put in front of me and let go of what it stirred up within me.  Joy and pain, success and failure, praise and blame- they all had pulled at what was so deeply rooted within me,  The more I let go, the freer I became.  It was not my responsibility to find what was binding me; that was life's job.  My responsibility was to willingly let go of whatever was brought up within me." (The Surrender Experiment, p. 252)

So much wisdom here.  No need to analyze nor dwell on our thoughts, reactions, feelings...just let them all go.  It really seems to come down to being very present to each moment and then letting it go in order to fully receive the next moment.  Life will always show us what we need to let go of in order to be completely free.
