Everything has its beauty (Even the ego?)

Everything has its beauty,

but not everyone sees it.

Confucius

Even the ego?

What is the  "ego" if it is not the "psychological ego"? Can A Course in Miracles  teacher teach about "the Tryanny of Special" teach without feeling "special"? Our asst. minister at our Unity Church is also an ACIM teacher. She taught today about "The Tyranny of Special." Of course she taught ACIM's condemnation of the ego, "which makes you feel special", and how terrible that is...Our ministers always ask for "comments" at the end. I stood up and said:  "My ego is great.  It has kept me safe aound the world. Gary Zulav called it our Earth Guide. As long as we are on this earth, we need our body and ego to be completely present. She answered that "that is not what ACIM means - it is not about the psychological ego. Yes, we all need ego strength. but this ego means being seperate from God." I did not say anymore, however I thought then ACIM really means the devil, satan thats what keeps us seperate from God. However, should we not love all parts of ourselves, with particular attention to the devilish part of ourselves - to really be aware of this "ego", so it will not "seperate" us from God.
