Ego in Latin simply means I.
It is a shame most people attribute this term with negative connotations.
May I offer my slant on consciousness, mind and spirit?
Consciousness is all there is. You may understand consciousness as being the entirety of the mind/body/spirit complex. The same may be said about the term "soul" although some may prefer to equate soul to spirit. It's a semantic question. I simply prefer to see the soul as the consciousness which comprises the entirety of the mind/body/spirit complex (which is what any entity/logos is).
The term spirit has been very "humanized" or anthropomorphized. This is the reason why it is so difficult to properly understand it, I believe. It is not an ethereal, ghostly figure. Sorry if I'm bursing bubbles, but that's not the so-called "spirit." Even the more ethereal/subtler/finer bodies that would be called "spirit bodies" (such as those of 5D) are not the spirit complex. Those bodies are bodies (made of light).
The spirit is a shuttle, the transporter and contactor with the Source that is Intelligent Infinity. Visualize the concept macrocosmically: the Logos (Love/Thought, the kinetic) tapping/drawing from into Intelligent Infinity (the potential) and ultimately folding back all of Its Creation (light), absorbing It back into Itself to merge again with the One Infinite. That would be an analogy of the spirit complex; of what it is and what it does.
It is extremely difficult to explicate in words.
Perhaps it would be of aid to understand the mind/body/spirit trinity by making the following analogy: Love(Logos)/Light(Creation)/Free-will(Infinite Potential or Intelligence)
