A friend of mine once said, “Intellectualism is not just about the consumption of ideas. It’s about how to employ those ideas into the betterment of human existence.” This has always been relevant since the beginning of human civilization. In our current world, how many actually instill goodness to the betterment of human existence? And I mean, the unconditional, unwavering desire to help without taking pride with what was given. If we can't reason out, many of us disguise intelligence by pointing fingers and self-proclamations. Where exactly is the problem? Where do answers can really come from? If I may quote J.Krishnamurti again, "If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem." #insight #jkrishnamurti #jiddukrishnamurti #wisdom #inquiry #selfinquiry #meditation

What is your color? I am investigating how much one knows about himself. If you can help me answer this question, you might be able to explore yourself too. (Maybe this is your sign too✨) I want to explore my (and your) possibilities through critical examination of oneself, our inner worlds and outer worlds. After all, our outer worlds are a reflection of our inner worlds. But yeah, if you have already grasped what I'm trying to get from you, it's not about your material, wordly pursuits. Please don't ask me or others what this question means. ASK YOURSELF what this means, and explore YOURSELF. No guru, no Bible, no Mahabharata, no Qur'an references.  None of that. NADA. By exploring this question, I and you may be able to see a deeper view of ourselves. I may give you my answer in exchange of yours. With this, we are seeing the truth of things from a bigger view, and finally, we may be able to draw another answer from this. (Not important: I actually took reference from Psycho-pass anime for this question. In the beginning of my "awakening" which is more like "slapping myself to get a better view", I often came across the question "who are you?". I often asked that question to people but I got the typical resumé profile answers LOL (no offense at all but if you are triggered, GOOD. Triggers ARE ALWAYS ALWAYS A CALL FOR ACTION) Anyways, it's the same question but with a different approach!) If you do need my advice, which I advise that you don't take LOL, here it is: Be empty, be nothing, be no one. If you think you know things well, UNLEARN. So, what is your color? #truth #seeker #awakening #consciousness #soul

When I looked up, there weren't anything that could disrupt. The city buzz was in the background but it was just passing by just as I was. I became the noise, the sky, the passerbys. I was in the moment as it passes. I was one. If anybody was looking and paid attention without thought, like the wanderer that I was at that moment, I'm sure that was intimacy even from a distance. When I looked up, I had no memories except the view above me. Whether they are the birds, the dew drops on the new leaves, a fine and cloudy day, star-filled and starless sky. Signs of life appear and move on. I learned to learn from those who don't utter words. I learned to take pain as it happens. I learned to unlearn so I can be those whose lives thrive without trying, without dreaming for a better tomorrow. I learned to look. Just look. When you look up, what do you see?

On the verge of another existential crisis, I found Shams who was speaking to me at the level of the heart. Shams of Tabriz, Rumi's spiritual companion who was also his light just as the bright sun that he is. It was evident in Rumi's poems how Shams turned his life around. Shams' departure broke Rumi. But it's that wound that made Rumi quenched for more love, universal love, God's love, wholesomeness, oneness with Shams, oneness with all things divine. I think we will meet a lot of people who will teach us lessons. But only one person will make a profound everlasting impact in our hearts, just as Shams was for Rumi. Shams' 40 rules of love was his truth. It became mine too. I wrote a bit of my resonance with the 25th rule that you can read here: https://theonlycharm.me/25th-of-the-40-rules-of-love-by-shams-of-tabriz/ #40rulesoflove #shams #shamstabrizi #rumi #sufi #mystic

We are all lost until something bigger than us wakes us. A cry for salvation from my own demons. A spark for real love. My dissociation from the world I knew and the wisdom it taught me. Uncompromising with the things that held me, I finally pieced it all together on this post for my own healing. This is my journey. #truth https://theonlycharm.me/the-journey/

"I think spirituality is living in the moment, being grateful to the every second of every breath you breathe, and always having compassion to everything. You can say, it’s all the same for me except that I’m more in tune to life’s flow- lesser resistance, more acceptance." Updated and full post link on my IG homepage 💕 Photo not mine.

I'm working on an English learning page called English By Filipina. I didn't know I could pull it off. In 3 weeks, I got 700 followers. More than the number are the lessons I am learning in the process and the value I give to people. If I didn't start, how would have I known my full potential? If you didn't start, how would you know yours? - charm

Just a picture of glam-looking ice cream. I'll probably never have this again because I'm avoiding dairy products but this reminded me of the "glitters and sings" I wrote about accepting all the facets of my being- the good and the bad.

I'm recycling old photos until now but I think it's more like learning from my old self and seeing time that's gone through snap shots. Today's photo reminds me of how time flashes by like a snap of the hand. At a snap, you already hurt someone. At a snap, you showered someone with unconditional love. So, tell me, before time is gone, which of the two will be your mark? #theonlycharm #theonlycharmwrites #theonlycharmjournal #consciousliving #awakening #higherself #higherselfhealing #powerofnow #mindfulness

Sometimes, I get too excited in attaining things- material rewards, better relationships, a wiser self, etc. I sometimes think that in order to be happy, I should have this, I should be at this place, or I should be with this person. There is some truth to letting anything grow over time. But I think the true joy of life doesn't lie in the outcome. Maybe there isn't any outcome or destination. We may never even reach that outcome when our time to depart this earth comes. We could never ever take anything back. As they say, our only currency in this realm is time. Make each second count. Despite the pain. Live now. No matter how many times you contemplate on the unnecessary things. This time, right now, you can always begin again. #theonlycharm #theonlycharmwrites #theonlycharmjournal #consciousliving #awakening #higherself #higherselfhealing #powerofnow #mindfulness
