I have a question. I am reading a book of Eckhart Tolle and he says that we need to observe our thoughts and our emotions to be 'freed' and find a higher level of consciousness. But how does this relate to having a personality? Is personality a total illusion and if so, what does it mean to be human

I understand that creating distance between the observer and the one experiencing can relieve pain and the stress of our internal (and physical) world and, but I feel like (my conflict on the matter) observing everything creates a non human living experience that's too objective. Are we not emotional beings?
