Ego, What is Ego? Options

As a person, I have a big ego. I want to win at all costs. I want this and that. I simply want to have it my way. I want the cake and the icing too. I am spoiled and always want to take more than I give back. Is this an example of an Ego?

My ego boost me to gain riches, health, love and many other conquests.
My ego also make new enemies, destroy and corrupt various aspects of me and my environment consciously and subconsciously.

What is EGO? What does this word means?
How do you define it? How do you keep it your slave instead of it enslaving you?

The soul is constituted by a substance above in which is shaped the personality. Ego is the substance condensed and proportionally shaped according to the impressions that it accepts. Proportionally, therefore, the substance with the impressions that it accepts and conceives, shapes ego and it is enslaved in that. Ego is what constitutes the prison of substance,the darks of our soul, our darks.
Each significance erroneous, that we make in our brain, is ego. Each ego have a form and a density that depends from the intensity of our wishes. Egos are the negative elements that we bring in us, that is to say our faults. "I" am not - two - three... They are many thousands, a legion entire. Egos are are the fighting forces in us and us they prompt in internal agitation, in passions, wishes, negative emotions, e.t.c. that give us pain and infelicity.
We said that we were given birth with only 3% of conciousness, that is to say just 3% of our perception self. This percentage with the logic appears somehow small.
But it is not thus, because this energy it is terribly possible, it is creative, it is in place to neutralise and to destroy those negative elements in us. Is the Davi'd of Gospel that should it neutralises the Goliath. The Dayvid is the substance, the Goliath is the ego. But what becomes? When the substance is clean and it contains other mixings wich they are innocently, it is pure, without "smart mentality. While it grows this innocent substance begins (the conciousnes)to feed mind from ego. The internal light of conciousnes begins to get terrorized , to be eaten, to be jailed from darks. That is to say, the substance is jailed in in ego and is lost the conciousnes.
Then, this so much beautiful, bright, so much pure, tender, the so much happy creature, that we all worshipped, begins to become reagent, untamed, the bad child, later the anarchist, the lustfull, the evil's adolescent and it is completed as a man or woman, with much faults, and a big crowd of psychological problems, that many times bring the destruction around them, even in entire the humanity. Thats because we ignore all these, we all believe that we are a individuality, but actually, we are a multiplicity. They are various egos that we bring in...

The ego of pride is the most difficult one to destroy,even saints have the ego of the pride,think that if we do something really good that deserves whisdom,our pride might destroy that whishdom...
