“Is the Ego Also Brahman?”

It does seem to me, in my limited way, that Shankara‘s Non-Duality is not exactly so.

He states that Atman is Brahman, and Atman is the Deepest Self (what I would call the Soul): the Soul is God.

But what of the non-Deepest Self? The troublesome ego that prevents us Realizing that our Atman is Brahman and then living accordingly?

Is the ego also Brahman? If not – then there still is dualism.
