You and I are very much on the same page with our thoughts on ego and soul. I highlighted much of your essay.

"Living in our biofields are our souls
Fabulous friends these minds and our egos
All aspects of a person have their roles
Cherubs in Heaven applaud my logos"

"Spirit loves ego
Depend upon each other
Soul protects Ego
Ego protects Soul on Earth
In Duality survive"

The first stanza is from my recent poem on knowledge which you have read. The second is from this piece that you may not have yet enjoyed. https://medium.com/@marcus17043/i-meet-kierkegaard-nietzsche-ortega-and-archangels-in-a-bar-b56233dae748

PS: The way you describe shadow work aligns with my thoughts that shadow work is the same process as 4th step work in any 12-step program, and I discuss in the second half of this essay my belief that any human could benefit from doing some step work and that certain of the concepts (not ones discussing god or substance or process addiction) (yes to self-awareness, responsibility, accountability, amends, and forgiveness) should be introduced in high schools. https://medium.com/illumination/spirituality-redefined-ff45cb53eaf2
