I have a bit different view of things. See the wars on the planet, see the constant desire for more more more and the general unhappiness with what people already have? See the people living lives of quiet desperation and working jobs they hate? Something's obviously not working correctly in our ego-run society.

I see humans as Divine and the core "I Am" is the connection to this Divinity. The "I Am" is what observes the mind, and the ego is a part of the mind. You can observe your own ego in action.

I see the ego as an illusion of self created by the mind. Everyone has a connection to the All within themselves, but they don't see this because they think the ego is who they are. And so they search for themselves outside of themselves and wonder why Life doesn't quite work out the way they feel it should.
