For example the ego in us has the need to be the best, to capture and hold the most attention, to be the best, to have the best, to be liked the most, to have the most, to receive the best or most from others etc.
From life time to life time, satisfying this need will depend upon time and space. In other words personality. For example, to be the 'best' two hundred years ago living as an Eskimo in the Arctic was to be able to build the biggest iglo in the quickest time and be able to hunt the biggest seals. Now living in Australia, it is to earn seven or more figures and have all that which gives 'status'.
This is how the ego in us works. It is the same ego over our successive lives, using the different values of the personality to satisfy its needs. The ego needs the personality to manifest through, and to use as a reference point to determine what in life will give it the food, perceptions and 'senses of' (sense of being, sense of having etc.) that it needs.
For example, the ego of pride that is concerned with the 'best', uses the personality to determine what the 'best' is, which is usually what people now days value the most in that area.
