Wow, excellent Jim.
You are the awareness that is experiencing pain. When I couldn't move for four months due to extreme back pain, I would have to remind myself, "I am experiencing human pain now". I'd say "human pain" to remind myself that I am the awareness, the consciousness, that is experiencing this world. I had to stop resisting my situation, because I wanted everything to be different. What a teacher that was.
