Out Running Ego

The question remains on whether we can out run our ego or not - can we use the vehicle of the body to advance the goal of the spirit. According to Kabbalah that is the only true goal of the soul to bring the Infinite to the finite. Kabbalah holds that the world of this reality is only 1% of ultimate reality and that Infinite world of true reality uses us as a vessel to transport truth between worlds. Running can take us to the edge of these two worlds yet without care we can find ourselves striding more into the 1% world of ego and (seemingly) leaving spirit far behind. My goal with the 100 mile race is to out run ego, training to the point where only the body remains in motion and the mind returns to original stillness. Miles alone won't do this - but mindful miles will. So every stride my prayer will be that every step will fall with spirit.

Peace,
Eric
