One should first know what terminology author is using. Annie Besant
standardised terminology which was followed strictly by all authors
later in Adyar TS. Ego means higher self or soul. In long series of
lives this soul or ego evolves. So it's evolution is important. In
meditation consciousness should try to consciousness itself. In most
people consciousness focusses attention on external things perceived
by various bodies. But in meditation consciousness should withdraw
from outer things and focus on itself.
God means Parabramha which is described as "Of the Absolute, the
Infinite, the All-embracing, we can at our present
stage know nothing, except that It is; we can say nothing that is not
a limitation, and therefore inaccurate "
It is true that nobody knows much about Parabramha or God. But when
occultist makes progress he knows unity of all.
Logos does not have gender male or female as far as I know.
Theosophy is complex so if a beginner is evolved intellectually and
to some extent spiritually, he would like books of Leadbeater.
