Exploring our limits


Do we constantly search for the ultimate source of our existence? What exactly is that source? What are the limits of our own potentiality? Will we ever be able to explore the potential that lies within us, and if so how do we do that? And further, when we go there, how do we know that we we cannot go even further. Deepak Chopra discussed the origins of our thoughts, in his book Quantum Healing. He said that our thoughts come from nowhere, because before we have a particular though, there is a void, and in that void there is nothing. So if we consider our potential capacity, then before that consideration begins there is a pause, and in that pause there is a void, and the potential is in that void, and the void is endless and without limit.

As one solo rider commented "RAAM is nothing, this is something out of this planet" Fabio Biasolo (RAAM Finisher). If RAAM is out of this planet, then it is somewhere in the universe, and how do we define the universe? To do so we must put limits on it to be able to define it. The universe is still being discovered, and thus could be defined as limitless, just like our potential. So in order to compete in RAAM we need to eradicate all boundaries in our mind, to uncover that potential that lies within us. No one knows the potential that lies inside each and every one of us. It is up to us all to attempt to exercise the opportunities to try to define that potential. At each and every turn Western lifestyle is becoming easier and easier for us. Yet we still take extreme measures to challenge ourselves, to push ourselves beyond any such pre-defined limit that we may have set ourselves. Bring on the challenges, and let's encourage those as fortunate as us, and those less fortunate than us, to pick up the gauntlet and rise to whatever challenge we set ourselves.

We are a small team of racers, who are ordinary people, attempting to do extra-ordinary things. We are intent on pushing ourselves and, in the process, taking a support crew with us to help them make a difference to find that goal and unleash the desire within us all. We are walking the tightrope rope and for us that rope is endless, and we are ready for that walk.
