The ‘ego’ charge is often trotted out on spiritually oriented forums as a stock rebuttal. It’s similar to another stock charge when there is a disagreement that another’s position isn’t heart based. LOL. Both are often used when the person using them seems to not have a strong rebuttal or position their self or as an attempt to undermine the other person’s judgment.

Ego is just sense of self, our individuality. This seems to imply that ego is autonomous from our self, making independent decisions.
