As inavalan says, we all have our beliefs and definitions and models of the human constitution.
I find the Alice Bailey model most useful - this regards the human being as a triplicity:
1. Spirit or Being - the All, unchanging and everywhere.
2. Consciousness or Soul - the Higher Self which repeatedly incarnates in form.
3. Personality - the mind and emotions expressing through the physical body.
So Consciousness or the Higher Self is not some mythical pure ego but a very real presence in every moment. Personality is the vehicle for Consciousness to experience form and learn from the limitations of life in form.
This model works for me.
Peace.
