Idea of one being from which everything came out is too hard to accept. Let us first try to go through one, being and ego.
One is visible and invisible at the same time. There are certain permutation and combination of constituent particles which gives rise to certain numbers of matters which can be summed up by fire and when fire carrying such sum vanishes then we may say it become zero, but assuming universe as infinite nothing can be lost. Hence, all came from one in which everything will be summed up and vanish.
Being should here be carefully ascribed to the Ataman. Any moving body that we categorize as having life, which can express its life in any form. Inability of expression can not be said to have no life. Any matter exist in a certain form and any changes cause its death. Just because some mass got ability to cry, talk, etc. we can not say they alone have Ataman. But let us assume for this discussion human alone are being and when there is a physical body but suddenly lost itself, that by which it was is Ataman. let us say that information collecting ability and to perform itself accordingly is the Ataman.
Ego is more related with the identity. It is me, the concept of self identification is the ego. But if we ask ourselves, we find it is nothing but accumulated memory over the life span. Different people happened to born in different part of the world, governed by different culture, system, language, family, parents, friends, and even a particular person. One event can cause the life long biasedness towards something or away from something.
Now when this ego is too active, it will not accept anything at all other than its past memories. It either seek pleasure from repetition of past events or repent in fear of such occurrence in the future. By ignoring the oneness of life from material point of view, oneness of laws governing this life in all forms of life, the pre-existence of knowledge in the universe, life coming itself from one and dissolving in oneness, Ego will transform the power of human into Demon. It may help to harness the Godly behavior when directed upward but equally it can become the Demon.
By no means I agree with collectivist idea of oneness. We all capture some part of oneness and it must blossom towards realization of that One.
