...so there may be other ways in which I misunderstand EGO.

also I’ve heard ego IS NOT ur sense of self

Maybe, like with everything, theres a lot more nunce to it than I first thought

Watch many of leo's episodes about ego so that you understand it from multiple angles.

Basically, "ego" is that groundless sense of self that everyone has. It's that " I " , " Me " . 

But most importantly, it's a STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS. You don't know what ego is because you never stepped outside of this one state of consciousness, besides sleep or lucid dreaming perhaps.

That's why people talk about samadhi, or "everything being one" etc. Because EGO is a " contracted" state of self. A samadhi experience would merge that sense of self with your whole field of experience, and you would " indentify yourself " with that whole bubble. You would become thewhole room, per se.

There is much more to it.
