That activity of our mind that actively attributes labels, value, judgement and priority to ourselves and the apsects of our perceived world. Ego is that part of our mind that negotiates between inner and outer experience.
Tendencies and aspects of ego may be within our awareness - or they may be outside of our usual awareness - also referred to as 'unconscious.'
Habits of mind form into identity and Ego asserts itself as a defining feature of who we consider ourselves to be.
