thanks for all the thoughts everyone! Definitely a diversity of views - appreciated. More food for thought.
I think that's well reasoned.
To speak to our personal experience of separation, we can definitely have a more divided/separate/schismed mind, and one that is more integrated and balanced. I am guessing that when there is trauma (like the PTSD you mentioned), and in cases where there is repression and compartmentalisation of memory, the element of fear is going to arise naturally out of that separation.
As I mentioned up above, one of the reasons I am interested in this topic is that there are fears which can drive our behaviour, but we are unaware of how it shapes us because we have not seen where we have created the separation, or where the originating lack of acceptance was.
