I have read the book half way until I realised it was just reiterating previous knowledge.
When you are an elightened being / master of his mind, you are still that Ego ... but you have cultivated another layer of consciousness.
So the way I view it is:
Unconsciouse is previous to:
Sub-consciouse is previous to:
Current primary Consciouse is previous to:
<x-factor> Conscious
X-factor is a layer of consciousness which is cultivated through Tolle/Buddhism.
It sends input to the current primary consciousness, which in turn sends input to the sub, and sub possibly to the un-con.
So do you get what we are trying to achieve through all this shit? It's another layer of consciousness.
We are really screwed up because we are self-realised yet primal instincts remain!!
