"It is quite difficult to listen to someone who is figuratively yelling at everyone to start living outside of the comfort zone. Why? Well, I guess one of the reasons is that if a person is used to suggest to others that one has to start living outside of the comfort zone, then the person doing the suggesting isn't doing what they're preaching. It is easier for us to learn from a practicing role model, words lose most of it's power when not backed with reality and example. But to give insight - if a person is trying to convince others to start living a certain way, they might be subconsciously and by a physical act trying to influence themselves into realizing the importance of a behaviour or trying to push themselves to start doing it."

"What scares me the most? I´m most scared by how easily people discard their true self in exchange for materialistic life, totally egocentric lifestyle and living with foreign principles/systems/ideas. If such talented and wonderful creatures discard everything that makes them truly beautiful, then how can that be anything I can live with? I mean, yes, I understand, as human beings we are still young, it will take about a thousand years for people to get all of their experiences they need in order to finally admit to themselves that they need to move on. They need to experience the killing of our fellow souls - who, also, are not fighting for themselves or their country, they are fighting for the brutal dominant people who put them there. I say put all of the world leaders to one room to settle it out and all of others, who are not totally brainwashed, should live in peace together and try to learn in life instead of just destroying everything that they don´t fully agree with. All of the greed - yes, I know, people have to mistreat each other as much as they can, so they can learn from it and move on - it would be such a nice change to see people starting to care about each other more instead of trying to top each other in a manner that is not even anything - a greedy person is his/her own worst enemy, has nothing to do with anyone else. All of the anti social behaviour - the system we live by has been made so narrow that because of it a lot of people do not want to participate with everything and they are thrown out, discarded, and told they do not matter and labelled them as /anti-social/. Are they really? Who´s ignoring who on the street? Are they still not human beings even when they don´t like to play by the rules you play by which.. you don´t even like? They´re actually strong, they believe in themselves in a seemingly weird way and stand up for what they believe, even if it seems like a weakness, it´s truly a strength. We, as human beings, just lack people who love unconditionally. Humans are so concerned about the latest fashion, about the TV-series, about all the materialistic little things. I guess it is because they are afraid of themselves - easier to follow something that isn´t constantly moving and developing, so one does not have to constantly try to get better. But by avoiding humans, by avoiding your subconscious, by avoiding yourself.. you are just postponing it, it doesn´t /disappear/ because of it. Wake up, if you are ready, if not, full throttle on the experiences you need to get - money, appearance, making other people feel bad, conditional love, greed, betrayal - everything YOU think is necessary and do them A LOT until you realize how stupid it all is. Don´t hold back." Raimo Pregel

"One recommendation I would have for people who are living in the physical world with artificial problems and who realize that something is completely wrong about this - do not listen to others. You chose to be born into this life to learn something, to learn your own things, to make your own mistakes. But.. hmm.. I must admit, listening to others might be one of your experiences you need to get and learn from so.. hmm.. I will shut up now." Raimo Pregel

"If you start moving in the right direction in life, you subconscious will guide your attention to affirming symbols. If you stray from your path, it will guide your attention to symbols that reveal it. You just need to be honest with yourself and learn to pay attention." Raimo Pregel

"One of the worst suggestions I've received in life is that I should listen to other people. Listening, per say, has nothing to do with it, the important bit is to feel the true meaning, value and experience behind the words. There are too many people, who are spreading valueless and useless information, stories and utterly restricting and crippeling version of a subjective variaton of reality." Raimo Pregel

"If you get tired of life, then just think that this life, seemingly well-oiled construction of laws, rules and people playing puppets, is merely a game. Think outside of the box, think like an alien. All the rules we have, are simply put in place by random people who thought it would be a good idea and would probably suit THEIR needs, not yours, yours were probably included just so you would not notice that it is not in your favour. Aggressive and angry people are not all that - it is not strength to threaten and restrict other peoples lives, it´s a weakness to not be able to consider others - no balanced and advanced person would take joy in destroying themselves or anyone else. People who are hardest to love usually need it the most, think about it. We are all afraid of getting hurt, doesn´t matter who you are and we all need comfort or.. simply.. unconditional love. Traditions and other practices are also thought by people for people - it has nothing to do with any "truth." It is just one way of doing things, you CAN think of another or you CAN choose not take part in this because this is YOUR life. What I´ve come to realize is that, you cannot really respect other people, you cannot really support them in their own quest and encourage them to get the experience they require if you, yourself, are limiting and not allowing yourself to do so. Why should you help someone if you feel you aren´t able to do it yourself? Support yourself and you´ll find that you will take more joy in seeing other people achieve their goals or dreams and you will absolutely love it and.. would probably love enjoy fulfilling your life as well."

"If we all live our own way, we know and learn everything we need and we already have all the resources to move into the our direction. It is when we start listening to others when we get lost and forget why we are alive." Raimo Pregel
