The reason why that doesn't work is because you don't know yourself enough to see through it. You haven't lived enough (not directed 2 u).

Ego is a tool until you become aware of it blinding you.

So if you find yourself and you attach a sense of pride/shame to that... I still consider that ego. Great points on the beginning ego....

Correct. Any form of self-consciousness is a form of ego. You cannot feel shame or pride without being self-conscious. But...

What CAN be done is to observe it so to make space for what IS real. So you can laugh about it and snap out of it saying "How silly of me!"

True, but the ego is just as "real" and worthy of observation as anything else at that point. I don't see it as silly... I see it as human

The ego has an advantage. It is static, and can be known & observed. Your being is dynamic, and the only way to "know" it is to live it.

I don't separate the two, I'm not sure I can know my ego.

An ego is not a thing you can live, It's always after-the-fact. It's like a subtitles on daily life, you look at that and miss the movie.

Hmm... I disagree. I see properly attuned ego as skin in the game. I'll give you some better/longer reasons why in DM in a bit (I love this)

We're getting different notions and concepts of ego confused here, I agree with that but to me that is not ego :)
