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.

We are made in the image and likeness of God - Part II

As I sit with this phrases that I have heard so often:  I am made in the image and likeness of God (or God and I are One...) I feel a sense of awe and reverence for my own being and for all of the beings on this planet.  This imperfect human being that I am, has an essence that is so pure and so beautiful that I cannot even fathom it.

At times this feels like the farthest thing from the truth.  And I think that is why there are so many problems in the world.  We do not know who we really are.  We are so closed off from the truth of our own magnificence that we block the natural flow of give and take with life.  Because we feel so inadequate and separate and fearful we are cut off from our source of good...our hearts shut down therefore we block the giving and receiving of love, we close ourselves off from the flow of energy in the form of money, our bodies tighten up and become dis-eased from fear, negativity, guilt and stress...

All of this because we forget the truth of our magnificence.  We think we are the human identity that we have created.  When in reality we are made in the image and likeness of God.  Wow. That is big. That is important.  That is something to focus on every day.

I am a magnificent being.  I am made in the image and likeness of God.

You are a magnificent being.  You are made in the image and likeness of God.

Sweet blessings as you remember who you are and as you let your magnificence shine.
