Ra has only a few thoughts on the word ego.
it may be seen as a yellow ray blockage:
15.12 The third blockage resembles most closely that which you have called ego. It is the yellow-ray or solar plexus center. Blockages in this center will often manifest as distortions towards power manipulation and other social behaviors concerning those close and those associated with the mind/body/spirit complex.
and the 'ego' can be offered temptations:
62.20 If fourth-density temptations, shall we say, towards distortion of ego, etc. are not successful the fifth-density entity then thinks in terms of the removal of light.
87.9 The fourth-density habit is that of offering temptations and of energizing preexisting distortions.
62.23 Nearly all positive channels and groups may be lessened in their positivity or rendered quite useless by what we may call the temptations offered by the fourth-density negative thought-forms. They may suggest many distortions towards specific information, towards the aggrandizement of the self, towards the flowering of the organization in some political, social, or fiscal way.

I am guessing that there may be potential for confusion in the use of this term as different psychologists have had their own definings of this word. Ego, to some, may be nothing more than a healthily developed sense of self; which is able to steer its way through personal life and societal experiences.
I know that ACIM has a very disparaging view of the ego; it is seen as the lower self in marked contrast to the 'higher self'.
