Clearing Your Internal Registry To Create Abundance
Welcome back!
To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of what we are.
Eric Hoffer
Last night, after spending hours trying to resolve problems with my computer system, I bought a software program. Recently, my once fast computer has been extremely slow and hangs up repeatedly. I regularly clear out temporary and deleted files and run the disk defragmenter. I knew I needed something else.
So, I bought a program that scans the registry to find and delete invalid entries. By the time the program finished the scan, it had found 468 problems. I read through the list of problems and then hit the repair button, which cleared away all 468 items. My husband has also been having a series of computer problems and so he also bought a copy and installed the program on his computer. The scan found 964 problems on his computer.
And today, I went out and spent over two hundred dollars for additional memory for my computer. I am trusting that clearing the registry and adding additional memory will resolve chronic problems with my machine.
All of this time and trouble with my computer leads to me two questions. The first is, How do fast computers turn sluggish and unstable? The second is, What does any of this have to do with creating abundance?
Fast computers turn into unreliable electronic slugs primarily because the registry becomes corrupted. What is the registry? This is Microsoft’s description.
A central hierarchical database used in Microsoft Windows 9x, Windows CE, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 used to store information necessary to configure the system for one or more users, applications and hardware devices.
The Registry contains information that Windows continually references during operation, such as profiles for each user, the applications installed on the computer and the types of documents that each can create, property sheet settings for folders and application icons, what hardware exists on the system, and the ports that are being used.
The Microsoft Computer Dictionary, Fifth Editionhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;256986
In other words, the registry is the master control of any computer with a Microsoft operating system. It is a catalog of all the programs and processes on your computer. Without the registry, the computer doesn’t know where anything is, or what to do with anything on your computer. Anytime the registry is fouled up, you are going to have problems with your computer.
What fouls up the registry? Consider what happens every time you uninstall a program. You think that you are removing all traces of the program from your computer. In reality, the uninstall feature leaves behind fragments of the uninstalled program. The result is that your registry is left with pointers to a program that no longer exists on your computer. The longer you use your computer, the more you have errors, links to nowhere, and fragments of code in your machine. Over time, the performance of your computer suffers.
With regular use, most PCs develop large numbers of registry errors that degrade performance and cause crashes. The Windows registry is the database used by Windows to keep track of the settings for the operating system and all installed programs

This leads me to my second question. What do problems with the registry have to do with abundance?
Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom… The power to choose, to respond, to change.
Stephen R. Covey
The computer registry is a metaphor for whatever it is within us that is the master controller of our ideas, beliefs, memories, and emotions. Without the internal registry, we would not know who we are. Yet, the longer we live, the more “stuff” builds up in our internal master control. And the more stuff that builds up, the more it negatively affects our lives.
One key concept of naturopathic medicine is that we age because our bodies become progressively toxic over time because they cannot clear out the residues of metabolic processes and environmental toxins fast enough. The slowing down of older people as their bodies become congested with uncleared debris is much the same as the slowing down of computer systems as they become clogged with uncleared bits of programs.
The mind’s first step to self-awareness must be through the body.
George Sheehan
All of us carry painful memories and unfinished business. What experiences have left traces in your life that keep getting in your way? What remnants of old and useless ideas linger inside your consciousness? What unresolved emotions continue to lurk within you?
Consider your own beliefs. What kind of fragments of beliefs do you still have left from early childhood conditioning? All of us carry ideas that no longer serve us.
What if the same kind of process happens with our emotional experiences? Some of my most enduring questions concern memory. How and where do we store our memories? Why does an event trigger old feelings? Why is it so hard to liberate ourselves from our stuck emotions?
What if you are being stopped by old fragments of ideas, emotions, memories, and beliefs that you no longer want in your life?
The question is, How do you uninstall these unwanted remnants so that they can no longer interfere with your efforts to create abundance in your life?
Imagine if you had some sort of registry scanner that could recognize the invalid fragments, the loose links to hurtful memories, the traces of emotional experiences both remembered and forgotten? With a simple process, you could find anything in your own internal registry that gets in the way of your current goals, dreams, and plans, and hit the delete button.
What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.
Abraham Maslow
In fact, you do have such a registry scanner. Your own internal registry scanner is called awareness. Awareness allows you to pay attention to the areas in your life which don’t work very well. You pay attention to what you are feeling and thinking. You pay attention to the memories that bubble to the surface. You monitor your thoughts, your feelings, your attitudes, your words, and continually ask if they are serving you, or if they are simply slowly you down or causing your system to crash.
Computers can recover from errors in the registry and so can you. The process is not as simple as buying a piece of software for $29.95 and hitting the button. Fundamentally, it means that you are your own master controller and you use awareness to clear out your own internal registry of anything that stops you from living an “Abundantly Alive Now!” life.
For Your Abundance,
