SOUL Ego
Atman. When the same conglomerate grows by its functions (obviously thought) it gets called by the name Brahman. Atman from its initial state of thinking and moving in its sphere grows first into the stages of Rishi, Rajarshi and Brahmarshi. Paramatman is the word that has been usually used in Religion to note the first and foremost expression of the Divine and is not a stage of the Atman. I do not know whether you are clear about these concepts.
Ego
The Ego is not something that goes before getting into the higher realms. But that is what we were asked to learn. That Ego is different from the development of Ego through the rings of Egoism that Master talks about.
I am not able to understand the demand to know everything. Certain things are better not known: that is the system of Rev. Babuji. He in His wisdom has saved us from knowing everything, lest it develops EGO. Still you want to know because it is said so in tradition or in scriptures. If He spoke with authority He has the authority. Is it not enough that we are humble servants of the Master? Is it too small?
