“What keeps us separated from this Source according to Tolle? It’s simple: identification with the mind. By this he means incessant mental chatter, confusing our true identity with form or labels and the obsession with the false egoic self. This is nothing other than evil. He states, “If evil has any reality – it is has a relative not an absolute, reality – this is also its definition: complete identification with form – physical forms, thought forms, emotional forms.” This false identification leads to ignorance and beliefs of separation and hence the complex global challenges that we currently face.”

I think he is correct, complete identification with ‘physical forms, thought forms and emotional forms’ is the problem, but his solution, to just stop thinking, is not the right solution. He promotes disconnecting from these forms when they are still unhealthy, which is unhealthy dissociation, the healthy way is to heal the shadow first, and then be guided from within as to when to dis-identify with ‘form’.
