What is your experience with the ego?

I see many people discussing about ego. Me and my ego, as if there are two people in one. You don’t have to fight with your ego. You just have to create a little distance between you and your thoughts, between you and your ego. Ego will still be there, but there is a distance. You are not ruled by the ego. The most effective tool I have come across to establish this distance is a kind of meditative exercise called Shambhavi Mahamudra. But any meditation you do will benefit you greatly in establishing a little distance, and to experience the boundlessness of presence. This is a way of knowing your true nature beyond thoughts and ego.
