“Studies Show— Fear is Passed From One Generation to Another”
Written by Dr. Paul Haider - Spiritual Teacher
Now, we have proof positive, that fear can be passed from one generation to another. This has been hinted at over the years because we have noticed some of the same fear traits transferred from one generation to another.
1 - In this study adult mice were made fearful of cherry blooms.
2 - Then these mice had offspring… Amazingly the young mice had the same fear of cherry blooms as soon as they were born.
3 - And this fear was shown to persist for at least 8 generations… we don’t know how long it would persist… they only took the study to 8 generations.
4 - And we wonder why we carry some of the same fears as are mothers, fathers, grandparents, great-grandparents, and more.
5 - It seems this fear information is encoded into our DNA and it persists as long as we allow our fear to persist.
6 - But if we let go of our fear, then that encoding is changed, and thus we no longer pass the fear along to the next generation.
7- This is another good reason why it’s so important to work through our fears. And allow ourselves to overcome our fears to prevent the spread of fear in future generations.
Take, for instance, my mother was deathly afraid of spiders, and I picked that up. But, over the years I have worked on my fear… and now I no longer have that same great fear of spiders.
So what fear are you going to work on and overcome in order to not transfer that fear to your children?
There can only be one thing that resides in our heart… either fear or love.
Which do you choose?
Many Blessings to Everyone!
