Hello Tony, >From the original Atma creating this world, what is the initial cause of fear if not a kind of fascination for Oneself? I see fear as a by-product of this initial fascination. This comes from experience of my entries in the world of duality's. But as all experience, maybe the cause of duality's is unique to each.
