Seems like enlightenment is as easy as being in a state of constant conscious awareness of your own thoughts and dismantling them in the process of them coming up as for what they are: thoughts and nothing more. Thus you are not what you are thinking, but you are basically 2 persons, one that is the thinking ego and one that can 'watch' or be conscious about the thinking, the ego.

Is this true? I feel like it is, but humanity seems not to be ready for this Transition into this kind of new Consciousness i think. For instance, how would i ever enjoy a video game or a Movie ever again if i constantly monitor me feelings and emotions, my thoughts that come up? I will instantly see that i only feel sad, exited or happy because of what is happening in the movie is causing me to feel that way, or what happens in the game. 

Isn't this way of enlightenment basically death in the Physical world? I know Eckhart tolle says die before you die, but you literally die. What is the purpose of living in this world anymore when you live like this? Nothing can touch you anymore, death of a loved one? Don't care. I got a billion euros? Don't care. 

I don't get it. Can someone explain?

It’s not the “ego”, it’s either unrestrained, hardly constructive thinking and/or a parasitic entity.
The latter is discussed here:
