I had this notion today while watching his webcast, as if we were messed up and our whole point was to stop our natural minds.
But I still get a lot from what he says. I don't think the ego is necessarily a mistake but I think we can learn to benefit from it and use it instead of it using us. Most go through life unconsciously having no connection to their "True Selves". Tolle's stuff helps at least to connect more to that presence that is the thinker behind the thinker.
Steve I think you may be the first person on this site I've encountered who doesn't really care for Tolle. Now how is it possible that I can benefit from what both of you say, at the same time? Lol.
