The ego is an activity, not an entity. It is not an entity because it is not real. If you looked for it as you would say the left or right hemisphere of the brain, you would not find it. Ego is first and foremost wrongly identifying as form, which results in the wrong use of mind. Use the mind correctly and the Ego vanishes into the nothingness from which it came. To make comprehension of the following paragraphs relating to Ego easier I will explain specifically certain terminology.
Brahman - I AM is the Absolute Aka God or if you like; the true Self. Brahman equates to; I Spirit Am Soul. When everything else falls away at the end of the day this is what we are left with. The One Self; eternal, infinite, omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. 'I' is our natural intelligence and 'Am' is the activity of that Intelligence which is expressed as Love. Many refer to the true Self (I AM) as the Father (I) and Mother (Am) however they are One. All the same we will differentiate them for the sake of an explanation regarding creation. The I of the true Self is often thought of as Male Energy while the Am is considered Female energy.
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” - Genesis 1:27
Born in the image of Brahman (Absolute or God) is Atman (I) Aka Christ or Buddha which is a projection of Brahman. The I of Brahman projects itself into the AM of itself, so that the Son (Atman) is basically sitting in the womb of the Mother (Am). The Soul of Atman Mind - Subconscious Aka Human Soul.
In reiteration, Atman is often referred to as the Son which sits in the womb of Brahman's body as 'Am'. The Son (I) develops a Soul (Am) of its own that becomes the whole world and everyone in it, so as you can see, the Son is also I am. Hence, the name of our true Self being "I am that I am". The Son is composed of Billions of people that call themselves 'I am', just as our one mind has billions of brain cells so does the One Mind that we call Christ Atman or Buddha etc.
If the Son as Atman is facing (Through inner stillness) itself as Brahman it is called the Christ or Buddha Mind which gives rise to Heaven Consciousness. If the Son as Atman is facing its own projections of Mind that we will call personal, Brahman becomes veiled, causing Atman to become inverted or Egoic, which in turn gives rise to a world born in and of separation (Hell). Bear in mind at this point that this world is but an appearance of Atman - a projection. When Atman is looking towards Brahman and Father and Son are One, the world disappears. If the appearance stays even in the face of personal realization it is because we are One. Until the whole world is realized, the appearance of a world will appear.
Ego and the world is formed when Atman Aka Christ or Buddha, identifies with Mind Consciousness rather than itself as Spiritual Consciousness. Due to this a false sense of Self called Ego develops which in turn promotes the wrong use of mind. The Mind is meant to serve Spiritual Consciousness by holding a meditative state in which thought is given. It is not meant to serve itself by creating its own thoughts. However due to Atman misidentifying with Mind Consciousness, we create life at the level of mind through rising thoughts in inspired by the five senses, rather than being inspired by Brahman - our true Self. The difference between thought given (Faith) by Spirit and thought conjured (Taken) by mind is vast in both quality and quantity.
