It's worth re-reading The Power of Now, because just reading it can actually put you into the awareness of Being; aware that who you are is not your thoughts, who you are is not your job or anything you do or have or believe.

I see those two as similar to
1 - ego and
2 - oneness.
And then I always wonder about Tolle when he had his awakening - didn't he still have a thinking mind and an ego, or some sense of self as an individual, that was percieving the awakening? Just saying that the thinking mind must still exist even though we may be identifying with the consciousness - both are always present and also kind of dependant on each other. To not have any sense of self (thinking mind) and be in oneness (the consciousness) would be rather ungrounded and spacey even. And we are all good and having plenty of thinking mind stuff with little oneness - and we suffer for that.
