OK I investigated a little more and I think I will say that the theory
of the gnostical spermatids of Mr. Hoogscarpel doesn't really match to
the Yogacarin idea as such. Evenj if its not exactly right I think the
idea of archetypes of the German psychiatrist Jung matches better to
the seeds in the manas.

Then we can go to the idea of the other German psychiatrist Freud and
also compare his idea of the Ego with the manas holding the seeds,
like Mr. Tao said in his book "Crosscurrents" when he mentioned the
idea of Ego as "Big Red Eye." (but that book is harder to understand
than this one). So we can make a diagram that puts all three theories
together like:

manas-keeping-seeds = archetypes (Jung) = Ego (Freud "Big Red Eye")

Then we have all three in one system like the idea of Mr. Metcaf
