An ego is focusing on things like self image, safety, security,. survival, success, immortality, fame, glory, being more important than anyone else. Soul is why was i born? What am i here to do? What's my special calling? What will give me the most meaning and satisfaction in life? Why was i put on this planet and given the privilege of life? What does that mean? What am I to do?
