My own personal suffering turned into mental chaos, which has been so deep my disappointment with myself intensified into a consuming self-hared. My own endless suffering made it impossible to face the worlds suffering and I even felt vulnerable and unsure experiencing other peoples' suffering. Suffering walks beside disillusionment and then when life feels hopeless it creates suicidal panic attacks or it triggers off an addiction to escape the suffering. So for me to stop running from my suffering by my addictions I have had to find serenity. From this serene mind with faith this has created non-attachment.
Non-attachment appears to offer a compassion to suffering because there is no attachment to suffering. There is no fear or this endless activity of the mind wanting an escape this identity. There is something about non-attachment that offers faith within the void of suffering. This non-attachment feels empty, yet it is quiet and is just watching. Non-attachment appears to be faith and serenity together not based on my thoughts, not on my feelings, not on my body, nor my perceptions. It seems everything arises and disappears into this stillness and peace, a compassionate giving, where suffering and chaos begin to dissolve.
I am just beginning to touch this non-attachment to suffering, to chaos, and is a radical acceptance where serenity becomes faith and faith is serenity. It is where there is no effort or striving. Just this still point to suffering, letting go as faith and serenity becomes compassionate.
