Ego vs Intuition

A few days ago i had a a very interesting phone call with one of my best friends about the Ego.

I had never really thought about the Ego in way in which he described it to me. Here is an way to describe parts of our conversation: http://deoxy.org/egofalse.htm

It’s a lot to read but skimming over it is sufficient to get a decent understanding of the chat.

Im just looking for some discussion on the topic. The Ego is hugely prevalent in today’s world, especially in the west and I think is the reason for the lack of happiness many feel.

I think the analogy of ‘The two wolves in each of our hearts’ is a good summation of the battle between Ego vs Intuition. Anyway, im interested to hear some HEthen’s views!
