Ego

Sometimes people like to use the word "ego" in Buddhist circles. And ignoring all the debate and different conceptions of what that word actually means, I'd like to ask what is not ego?

perhaps that points towards something more than ego or self?The darkness of our ignorance is already broken through;
Still the clouds and mists of greed and desire, anger and hatred,
Cover as always the sky of true and real shinjin.
But though light of the sun is veiled by clouds and mists,
Beneath the clouds and mists there is brightness, not dark.
