The four noble truths in knee pain

Joseph: The 4 Noble Truths are all present in knee pain.

"Profound truths in mundane experience."

Nice three stage process:

1. Sensation
with mindfulness: aware of it
without mindfulness: unaware, and maybe responding w/o knowing

2. Mindfulness?
with mindfulness: "Pressure"
without mindfulness: "Pain"

3. Response
with mindfulness: "unpleasant" (or possibly even neutral)
without mindfulness: "I hate it, what can I do to make it stop"

Usually all of these steps happen in a siplit second.

To be free from suffering, just be mindful of this process and clear that the usual steps are not necessary.

At a certain point, pleasure in neutral experiences is greater than the pleasure in pleasurable ones. The sense of spaciousness rather than a nice tingle.
