The egos main goal is to keep you in a state of separation. It doesn’t care how it achieves this goal, as long as it achieves it. Without separation the ego cannot exist.
The ego is simply the idea that you are a separate self that exists apart from God.
You may be rich, you may be poor or you may be sick or even healthy. The ego doesn’t care. It uses everything it can to make you see differences between you and others.
Have you ever noticed how some people never stop complaining about how much of a tragedy their life is, or how much life is mistreating them?
That is the ego at work. It is saying that I am a victim and I am being mistreated by the victimizers of the world.
Once you stop listening to the egos lies and start to see Oneness all around you, all the opposites that exist in this world will no longer be part of your reality. You will only experience the constant Love, Peace and Abundance of God, which has no opposite.

You are absolutely spot on there! In my experience, the ego is there as a survival method to protect us from pain that happens to us as we go through life. To deny this pain is to enhance the ego, or consious self, and also, as you say, separate yourself from 'what is'. To release the pain and other pent up emotions will reduce the need for an ego and start to connect you to 'what is'
