I was told by some runners that your inner thoughts could stay away from normal life through running. Michael Murphy,who set up Aisa Lun Association, pointed out that many sportsmen would experience special life during competetions. Mike Spino, Aisa Lun Association sports director, wrote, "Running could become a way that help you find a bigger you. And what I found was that no matter common people or super stars both went into the spiritual factors when they did not realize.
At the same time of writing this book, a New Zealand guy whose name is John Walker broke the record of 1-mile race. And he used some wonderful sentences to describe the situation of the victory in a 1500 km race of the Olympic Games. He said, "When I rushed to the finishing line, a thought that I must win flashed in my mind. I didn't look back, but I realized that somebody was catching me. I know he was the United States' Rick Wall Huett, even though I could not see him. I bet it must be him. I had tried my best, but I was totally controlled by subconscious. This situation was not the first time, but it was hard to tell the reasons. And I defeated ...
... Wall Huett".
Not long before, I reread William James's Varieties of Religious Experience, and to my surprise, runners' words were so similar with the words of many mystics. As I described before, there are more matches on Sunday mornings than other days. Could it just be occasional? Maybe it is. While, it is quite easy to pick out those sentences expressing the religious nature of running. A runner from Arizona who was 30 years old said that in 1976, her faith was altered and she became a believer in running. After that, she said, "In my mind, it is reasonable to put my experience and the changes of my faith in the same way".
We run in the outer world, but we become in the inner world. We run to succeed, and we become to proceed. Inspiration helps us run - far, farther, farthest. While we are becoming, we feel that we are in the process of reaching our ultimate Goal. But we could never reach the ending of goals, because we are on the way to success. As a result, we can not ignore the magic power of inner minds during running. Don't be hesitate, get ready to run.
What significant is that nobody had ever made entire survey on the spiritual changes led by running. In spite of some attention from several writers, we could never find an entire introduction on the spiritual matter related to running. We have to say it is quite a big pity.
