Question: My body experiences a lot of fear and anxiety. I wonder: how much of this fear is rooted in this life‘s stressors and much comes from previous generations?

You’re presuming that fear is a problem, and the mind is looking for causes. Fear is not a problem, and thus no cause need be sought.

Fear, in fact, is only an objective experience. Confirm that it cannot disturb What You Are.

To see this, let’s revisit a few key propositions in the nondual Understanding:

The Understanding

1.) We never know, or ever come into contact with, anything other than an experience. That is, all we ever know, or come into contact with, is experience.

• Consider and test this until it’s indubitably clear.

2.) Experiences, for now, can be said to be two types: objective and subjective.

3.) As for objective experiences, these include: touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, hearing, desiring, thinking, feeling, and sensing.

What is the character of objective experiences?

• a) They are ever-changing.
• b) They are many (manifold). For instance, there are many thoughts; or there is one thought followed by a sensation (so, many across types in this case).
• c) They are ontologically dependent. Meaning: Their appearance is dependent upon being witnessed, seen, or known (by the Witness that I Am). 

4.) Let us speak, only provisionally, of Subjective Experience. This is the Awareness that I Am. 

• Be careful with this one as the word experience can make one believe that Awareness is a state that comes and goes. So, what is the nature of Awareness (= Subjective Experience)?
• a) I am never changing.
• b) I am one/unified.
• c) I am ontologically independent. I depend on no other “thing” for my Existence (sat).

Conclude that Awareness is different from objective experiences.

5.) Examine the question: Can any objective experience have an impact on or in any way affect Me, Awareness?

• Go deeply into this until it’s clear that it cannot.

A Common Analogy: The Screen And Images

Take a second pass:

I am like a screen. All objective experiences appear on me. Appearing and disappearing on Me, no objective experience ever affects, disturbs, or impacts Me.

Confirm that this is true.

Therefore, fear (for instance) is not–indeed, cannot be–a problem for Me.
