 So is anyone interested in ending suffering? Now, while alive, not in 'Heaven' and such.

Ah, that's following the motto that 'time heals'. Only it doesn't. The hurts are buried deep down and they accumulate and one lives with them and so acts from them, however deep they may have been buried.

  I'm talking about a mind that has never been hurt.

 Eckhart Tolle is wrong: the problems are not illusions. The problem of getting killed over a piece of land or a religious belief is NOT an illusion. Once can actually die, not in imagination but in actuality.

 

  Tolle is simply confused.

 The holy fathers were idiots, so their warnings can be ignored.

  Deeper? Rather childish games. Children enchanted with a toy.

 We are but because of our brain, we can be much more.

Dalai Lama nonsense: theory and reality are two different things.

 

  Of course, my interest is the same as your interest: we both want the same job, same woman, same position in society. So we begin to manipulate one another, control, suppress--all that business.

  

  Sure we both want the same thing: we want power, control, recognition, fame, money. We perceive control in ourselves, so we want control in society.

 We both have the same perception, we both want the same thing. Unfortunately, our perception is illusory, and what we want creates conflict and death--since it's based on an illusory perception...

  'Realizing'?  It's just an excuse for continuing to live in confusion, not a realization. If the approach to life is based on the self-interest, then life is not perceived, so an approach to what then? To that which is not perceived? 

  Life has an immediacy which the brain lost in the past cannot perceive.

  This attempt to influence and 'get into the other guy's head' is the agenda of the self. The man with an agenda is the most destructive thing in the Universe.

  You who? Do you think you are separate from that drama? Or is the self attempting to separate itself from the same movement it belongs to, by saying 'I'm bored, tired, this is not me. So it begins to move in what it thinks is a new direction.

 Only it's not: it's the same movement and the same direction.
