Losing the Experience of Wholeness
All problems are caused by the loss of the experience of Wholeness. They are all illusory. In order to have a problem you have to have at least 2 things that are in conflict with each other. When you seem to have a problem it is because you have lost the experience that you and the thing you are experiencing are actually part of the same wholeness. As amazing as it may seem, even the most extreme problems are all caused by illusions of separateness.
The scope of the traumas, fears, patterns of conditioning and habits that people have will of course go well beyond the 12 basic ones represented on the chart above. But these 12 tend to be at the basis of pretty much all of the others that you will find when doing IGO work.
For example when you are not following your intuition, you don’t trust and act on your instincts consistently, you have trouble standing up for yourself and being true to yourself. You will have a tendency to want to avoid confrontation and conflict; you will have a habit of doubting yourself. You will tend to not have clear distinctions between intuitive ideas vs. fantasies and expectations that you make up in your mind, etc.
The 12 Fears on the chart above are the most basic of the many fears that people have. This assessment is designed to help quantify to what extent you still have any of these 12 fundamental fears. It is also designed so that you can use the IGO resources listed on your personal private results page and then take the assessment again to see how much you have reduced the fears.
