Yes, the ego can manfest extremes.. but the ego is your differntiation in this world, from others Beings before you, it is your sense of Self... that which is Seen by Other Beings.

Your Ego is necessary, else it would not Be.

The sense you discern, that of the unseen reflection in the outward appearance, is WE, the ALL...

Our essence is "God"... from which all arises and lives.

God is either every thing or nothing at all...
is difficult for many to grock...
but how could it be otherswise?
The source is the source is the All, deemed "good" or "bad"...

every thing ends up back to source because no thing is lost.

Sounds about right ... ya think?
I can see why you think this Moxie.
However
All I can say that every enlightened being who has live on this earth functioned ego less after the transformation.

My own experience is that having had a large ego, as my ego diminshed, through reading books by those who transcended the ego and doing as sugested, I became more free of fear, more alive, more what I really am.

Its like being released from a prison.

When the ego is fully in charge you dont even know you have one.
Self esteem is different.
Honestly the ego is not necessary to experience life fuly, in fact quite the reverse. It limits you greatly.
