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.

Open-Hearted Awareness

"Open-hearted awareness can shift you into a new way of seeing.  Your eyes connect not only to the brain but through your heart-mind to the ground of Being.  Your ego-based identity is no longer looking out of your eyes.  Instead, looking from open-hearted awareness is like seeing directly through the eye of your awakened heart, without the thoughts, beliefs, and projections of the mind interpreting your experience.  There are no fears or worries about what the other person might be thinking; there is trust that you will know how to respond-with a natural, intuitive heart-mindfulness." Shift into Freedom, p. 196

In his book Shift Into Freedom, Loch Kelly talks about dropping our awareness from thoughts/mind into a more expansive consciousness in and through the heart.  He provides a series of "Glimpse" practices which help us to do this.

One person who has gone through the transition of moving from ordinary consciousness to open-hearted awareness said the following:

"Speaking becomes like breathing.  It's easy and natural and just flows without needing to plan what you're going to say."

For more information please check out Loch Kelly's book.  Also, I am considering doing a group based on his practices and will post more about this soon.
