What was it again? The next.

Hi again, this time again I want to talk a little on what tolle said as life under the power of ego.  There were couple of point that he enlisted in his writing about it though.

Separation

According to Tolle, "creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments and definitions." These mental builds the currency with which the mind operates, and the ego relates to these builds rather than directly to the realities they represent. And so he says that this "opaque screen" both "blocks all true relationships" and "creates the illusion of separateness."

Resistance 

 Reality is frequently at odds with how the mind believes things ought to be. As a result the ego has to counter constant challenges to its identity and its hopes for fulfillment. This gives rise to the ego's defense mechanisms, and becomes a "habitual resistance to or denial of what is."  For example we believe that we at disadvantages because this one person said that he got a lot of fantastic stuff. Then our ego would react like,” so do I have”.

Emotional Pain 

 Tolle describe 'mind' to include not just thoughts, but also emotions, the body's reaction to those thoughts. He also claims that every emotional pain we experience throughout life leaves behind a residue of pain which becomes lodged in the mind and the body, and which acts as our reactions to further experiences.

He refers this residual pain as "an invisible entity in its own right" and calls it "the emotional pain-body"."Most of the time this 'pain-body' lies dormant, but anything that resonates with past can trigger it into an active mode. At that point it we may act irritated, impatient or depressed or we may want to hurt someone. Habitual resistance

Loss of Being

 Most people have known times of inner stillness, when the mind has been made "speechless" by some experience of great beauty, or wonder, or even great danger. "And within that stillness," says Tolle, "there is a subtle but intense joy, there is love, there is peace." But these natural states of inner connectedness with being are lost as soon as the mind begins to think about them. I am sure most of you did experience it before too.

As for now this will be a little bit of my interpretation of what Tolle’s said both in thinking folly and his book. Though there is a lot of other interesting things that being mention in his writing.
