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....

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.

The fact that the ego can never be fulfilled is precisely the reason why it appears to have some reality when it obviously does not.

Reality is just a conceived model for describing existence and existing (I know you know this but....)

Au contraire, the model is not the reality. There is a reality but it cannot be known in the same way we know a model.
