It would be nice if more runners shared their experiences and stories so we could understand them better.

This really connects with ‘The Power of Now.’ That whole concept of presence over pursuit. Have you read it?
The way you describe runners feeling that energetic shift when chasers come home to themselves, that’s exactly what Tolle talks about with authentic presence being magnetic. It just naturally happens when you stop chasing and actually arrive in yourself (which is harder than it sounds, obviously)

I chose myself over my family’s approval. They disowned me for leaving a marriage where I had actually considered ending my life rather than getting a divorce. Walking away from all of that brought me closer to union with my twin and helped me become a better parent.
I think we all know we’re supposed to release and we’re supposed to not care and trust the journey but that is probably the same as a runner knowing they’re supposed to not run. Can’t help it.
