You need at least one person who understands where you are from, how you look at things and what you feel about things. Everybody needs someone to talk to, someone who hear what you are saying.
In a similar way, if you don't listen to your ego, it will get frustrated. If you are very strict with your meditation practice and dismisses your ego completely, saying to yourself: “This is just mental chattering. Let the thoughts come and go like the clouds in the sky”, then the ego will be upset. The ego is right sometimes. If you always reject your ego, keep on mocking it or disparage it, you will create a conflict within yourself.
Therefore, listen to your ego as if you were listening to a child. Sometimes you have to say to a child, “Don’t you see that I’m busy right now.” Sometimes you have to say, “Stop this nagging, for heavens sake. I will not get you a dog.” However, sometimes you have to listen to your child.

the inner voice or compass is not the ego...the voice in the head, yes, that is ego
we only need to listen to children, no longer the other way around... a shift occurs now, the teachers are the children... no longer are the caregivers 'the teachers'...interesting how it evolves...
intuition is not coming from the ego... intuition is coming through, as Life Itself, without limitation. Free from thoughts that act as boundaries on a limitless self...
