Yes, these are all good and important questions to be asking.

The ego can easily crystallise a quality of the soul and hold on to it - love and light for example. However if it is ego, then after a while you might look back, and if you're being completely honest with yourself, you might notice the real essence of it has diminished. Now you have to effort to try to feel the same. Whereas when you truly get into openness and just let the qualities of soul flow, then you get different resonances at different times, but they all feel aligned - simply "right" within your being.

Personally, I wouldn't be actively looking for a particular soul ray quality. I would be feeling the flow of the soul and seeking to express as authentically and accurately as I can. Then asking, "how can that be more authentic? More aligned? What's wanting to come through now?" Then watch for the synchronicities in the interplay of life. This helps you unfold the various qualities and integrate them.
