You should always seek out for your high-ego. Follow what your spirit calls.
The ego, or lower intellect, is an artificial intelligence, an automaton, a computer with personality programmed by genetics and environment. It arises partly from the human brain’s capacity for intellectual functions, and partly from soul’s capacity to be molded by worldly and bodily factors. The ego is the streamlined interface through which soul can operate more efficiently within physical and social environments2.
When spirit, the source of sentience, looks through this mask and identifies with it, the two together create our human sense of self. What we consider “me” is a composite of pure sentience (spirit) and personality (ego).
In summary:
1) Ego is something that arises at the boundary between body and soul due to body conditioning the soul.
2) Spirit wearing the mask of ego provides it with a sense of human identity.
