i cant get what you are fully trying to say. i am also thinking that different religions are going to perceive the spiritual part with ego different.

The ego was the very provision of God for the individual. It is the baby individual. There just comes a time when the ego matures. But it was the very provision for us to enter a kingdom of Dynamics. The ego is the provision for dynamics. At first it is aquainted with accusations, for example, my way is better than your way... Now, in its mature form this is still true, for example, where I belong and who or what I am in the whole sceme of things is better for me but this does not mean that it is better for someone else. Yet both are equally important. The ego was the provision for identity and individuality and personality. The mind is the wilderness or battle field for contrast to be matured. The baby ego says that contrast is contradiction until it matures and contrast is seen perfectly. It is a way of knowing who we are. Once the ego matures it no longer sees contradiction. It sees contrast.

No accusations, no matrix.

Peace !
