The danger is that you literally associate your “self” with the unproductive behaviors. To explain this, use the analogy of a computer, fresh off the line. Your unproductive habits, self-defeating beliefs and tangled values are “software”, installed after it leaves the factory. And if you think that the things your parents, society, spouse or whatever taught you about yourself and the world is “you” and “what is” you are going to be limited by whether their perceptions were accurate and their intentions positive. If you have ANY doubt about that at all, you must question the software.

The “Hardware” is the physical structure of the computer, and my position is that the hardware can be much less important than the software. Our potential would depend on that software being optimized for the world we operate in, our intentions, and the nature of the hardware.

Our deepest programming, however, might be considered the operating system, what we came into the world with. I would assume that human beings start with the same programming every other animal has, but it then becomes more complex due to the human capacities for abstract…
