I think Tolle has a straight and narrow path just be in the moment, in the present and then all the forms will disappear as all that happens in time. The time disappears as well in the present... so move from the form of the world to the formless thru the portal of the NOW... I find Law of One more comprehensive. My main problem with Eckhart Tolle comes due to the fact that it is easy to say but hard to practice being in NOW...
Formless dissolves all the forms and can be considered as oneness as all become one in formlessness... we are different as long as we are identified with the forms...

Thought forms are actual independent entities, although they can be fueled by energy from our unconscious. I think the confusion comes from both being sustained through the same principle of "mind" (i.e. 2D).
Hi zenmaster- Can you please describe more about what you are saying here? I thought per Eckhard, Pain Body can have an independent existence (much like a thought form; I say). here is a quick search I did-

Quote:This emotional charge is known in Tolle's lexicon as the “pain-body,” and Tolle asserts that it is almost an independent entity, with its own reactions, wants and fears that are triggered by situations which mirror those in which one experienced pain in the past. Traumas, major or minor, from childhood and throughout life become “lodged' in the body so long as one is not able to rest fully in the moment.
To dissolve the pain-body, one need only observe it, which is to say, feel the current sensations in one's body — neck, shoulder, stomach, etc. — with one's awareness. The quality will vary dramatically based on one's current mental state. In observing, take care not to judge – this is the re-entry of the judging mind, the ego. Also observe the watcher itself, as according to Tolle, “this is the power of the Now, the power of [one's] own conscious presence.”
