i really got conceptual traction on this from a blog post that basically identified “ego” in the western-buddhist sense with IFS parts, especially protectors
hence “losing ego” becomes about helping these parts relax, rather than fighting a part of yourself that is bad

Almost half of all people have a vicious inner critic, an internal monologue that ruthlessly judges and shames them, everyday.
These ppl should disregard any spiritual advice about losing their ego. They need to be BUILDING ego, strengthening it, so it can stand up for itself.
