" there is no expected pace for inner learning. What we need to learn comes when we need it, no matter how old or young, no matter how many times we have to start over, no matter how many times we have to learn the same lesson.We fall down as many times as we need to, to learn how to fall and get up. We fall in love as many times as we need to, to learn how to hold and be held. We misunderstand the many voices of truth as many times as need to, to truly hear the choir of diversity that surrounds us. We suffer our pain as often as is necessary for us to learn how to break and how to heal. No one really likes this, of course, but we deal with our dislike in the same way, again and again, until we learn what we need to know about the humility of acceptance." (p. 312)
These words come as balm for someone who 'falls again and again'. Having suffered for some years now with back pain, I take heart in his words as well. It is only very recently that instead of trying to get control of my back pain through posture, exercise, yoga, meditation, ergonomics, breathing, 'chi' walking, body work, healing prayer and proper rest, that I had the thought, "It is what it is. Instead of resisting, accept it as a teacher in your life." It has taught that lesson that I continue to learn very repetitively, "I don't have control over this."
It is not that I think all I have done was for naught or ill-advised. Those practices were all preparing me for this acceptance. Yet, as he said, 'not that I like this." So that is my next step!

Ver interesting post - especially because one would assume that yoga and meditation would work. However, as pain is perceived to be very much in the mind, it seems that you may now be on the right track. Good luck!
