A very thoughtful question. One that I might imagine being asked to Quo back in the day (questions seem to have recently become more technical.)
I percieve that the heart of your question concerns your understandings of ego- seperateness and allness, and willpower.
To me, and I take this from one of the areas I have studied, the 'ego' is our will power. We use our will power to do things (such as make money, a classic example of the manifestation of will power on the material plane.) However, when our will power becomes that which overly enjoys spending money and stepping on people, or idolising ourselves, then it becomes 'ego'.
We don't need to be one with others. We need to recognise that our spiritual essense is essentially the same (which is another chakra), but that our paths and lives are individual, diversive and SEPERATE.
It seems you are being challenged to accept yourself. I suspect you already know that though.
Yes, It seems everyday brings new understanding, and acceptance. I Feel like timing is moving so much faster! every day that goes by, time is so fast! I feel the world changing, and I feel myself changing. Everyday it's like I make leaps, the only obstacle is if I allow myself to make those leaps.
