Hi Felix ..
The computer analogy is a very good one for understanding how
the human mind/body programming works ..
In answer to your question, on the surface level, the first
manifestations of the ego are all the visible IO devices
The Keyboard, Monitor, Printer ..
Then when you go deeper, it is the programs themselves
which are the programs of the ego ..
The Operating System .. is like a religion .. Windows
behaves one way and will not talk to Linux or Beos ..
and to go deeper still, even the BIOS code can be found to
be ego ..
because all of these are written by unknown
programmers .. sit there, defining how the computer
will interrelate to the world around it .. You and Me
for example ...
All of these go us to making up the personality of the
computer .. because, when you look at the differences
between a PC and a Mac, they have their personalities
and their Individualities.
On the deepest level, for that that which is not ego,
I would consider the basic hardware set with its
mother board and chipset, all of the IO devices, and
its power supply ..
sitting there waiting for someone to program
it so that it can do something which its owner
might consider useful ...
and like the computer, we can get software and
hardware conflicts .. and viruses sent to us by
email .. and if we try to run too many programs
at once, the system crashes ..
Right through the work I have been doing with myself
I have seen the behaviour of my computers firstly
as a mirror for what is going on in my deeper world ..
and, you know, the same principles apply ..
we do come equipped with a virus scan..
and a set of diagnostics
and if we run them on ourselves
we do function much better
without so many conflicts and crashes ...
every so often, it is good to check for broken links,
run scan disk, do a defrag .. check for fragments
of old programs we no longer need which we thought
we might have erased ..
and then, to travel where most are afraid to look,
to check all of the libraries in the registry looking
for fragmented code ...
Youy know, I have even found that you can take
all of the programs that you really want, and all
of the data files .. store them somewhere for
however long it takes (I use a second computer)
and then go through and dump everything ..
releasing all of the past, reformatting the
hard drive .. and then load back in only those
programs which are really going to prove
useful in what you are doing now ..
and this is a good time to include
all of the latest versions of the software .
So yes, Felix .. the computer can be a very good mirror
