The teachings of Kaballah tells us that there is the 1% world in which we live and the 99% world in which we truly existence. The worlds of ego and spirit. Heaven and earth. Our role as spiritual beings having an earthly experience is to bring more of the 99% into this world. We do this with thoughts, words and deeds. We strive to move ourselves away from being reactive to being responsive. As a reactive person we are controlled by forces of the ego. As a responsive being we are the voice of spirit. We can bring this concept into every aspect of our lives. Even ultrarunning. To react to experiences that happen during a race is to often mindlessly compound mistakes at worse and to needlessly waste precious emotional energy at best. Yet by responding mindfully to what each moment and situation brings to us we are able to create a spacious feel surrounding our events and the freedom to respond accordingly. We run peacefully.
Peace,
Eric
