How the ego & consciousness interact with one another

[Zion]

I hope many would love to hear your ideas about how the ego & consciousness interact. Now I understand that the ego is actually consciousness. However, I think it is very useful, helpful, & fascinating to know how each one compliments & denounces one another. Essentially, I'd like to hear your insight as to how you see each mechanism working together? How do they intertwine & hold balance? What is required for them to hold a healthy balance? What makes a healthy relationship between consciousness & ego?

Bro the ego doesn't even exist?

[Zion]

@Tim R Why do you say that?

[Tim R]

@Zion Because... it's the case?

Yes it does, Im an ego right now, it might be an illusion though, like a mirage in the desert, I dont know yet though, not woke yet. But just because its an illusion doesnt mean that it doesnt exist as an illusion.

@Rilles Exactly, so how does that work? How does the illusion of ego interact with consciousness? What creates the illusion? How can the ego best represent itself in the limited form it is, whilst being aware of consciousness?

Actually a better question; what is the difference between ego & consciousness?
