Anxiety is useful and I don' think it is good to remove all anxiety. I think when people say removing the fear of death will increase ones quality of life is that since you KNOW you are going to die, you won't live for anyone else's pleasure and that you will have the balls to make the "risks" you want in life that YOU want and that you have nothing to lose since we are all dead anyways!I would say 99% of people are in this state. Where their emotional life is just a passive response to their environment. Completely mechanical and unaware.
It's the reason for the schizophrenic split so common in our society where depression and anxiety thrives. And where we place more value on external things rather than our internal dialogue .
I think Tolle is talking about a state where we don't fear death(the future) because it's not rational and almost uneccessary and a state where our body is "untouched" by our past experiences. Sigmund freud talked about this, where he said if we remove the fear of death, all other anxieties either completely disappear or reduce significantly increasing our quality of life.
Being anxious if a grizzly bear is next to you is a good thing though. That is one risk I dont want to take. So anxiety has it's place.
