How does observation reduce the strength and power of emotions and attachments? | J. Krishnamurti

My former teacher Barry Long said he considered the famous Jiddu Krishnamurti to be one of his main teachers. Even though he only actually met him in person once, Barry studied his lectures. Despite the above, I surprised to find this little video in which JK describes the exact same process of consciously facing and dissolving emotion that Barry taught (and that I’ve been living and indeed teaching). (NB. Despite the video being only a few minutes, he does seem to take a long time getting to the point. 😅 And I actually disagree with something he said - not that it makes any difference to the main point... JK said in the recording “the emotion is ‘me’!” And later he says that it has dissolved. But if the emotion is ‘me’ and it later dissolves, then who or what is recognising that it has dissolved but ‘me’?... I was taught, and to me it’s true, that ‘I’ am that which is observing, and what remains. So instead, the emotion is my-self; my person-ality, and that which is emotionally attached to what occurs. But it’s only debating language again.) Original link to the source of the video is here (I just didn't want to lose the video if it was ever moved):    • How does observation reduce the strength a...   ———————— What Barry had to say about J.Krishnamurti in his autobiography: “His writings had a profound influence on me; his words were like keys that opened door after door in my understanding. Krishnamurti was a man who spoke the highest truth, so high, so essentially incommunicable, that only those who are one with him in Consciousness can possibly comprehend its full significance. And of course, being so meaningful for these individuals, it is meaningless to the intellectual mind.” “I met Krishnamurti privately in Madras, as well as attending one of his open-air lectures. We sat opposite each other in silence for 15 minutes. There was nothing to say. He had already said it all. When I phoned Krishnamurti’s personal assistant to make the appointment, I said, ‘I want to introduce myself. I am Barry Long from Australia, Krishnamurti’s successor.’ She was both astonished and indignant, ‘Krishnamurti doesn’t have a successor!’ "Many years later, in 1986 a couple of days after Krishnamurti died, a man who was with his teaching and knew of me knocked on the door of my home, apologised for disturbing me but said he’d had a dream that concerned me and seemed very important. He said in his dream he had walked into a room in which three men were seated at a table. He knew these were the successors to Krishnamurti. The table was in shadow and he could only make out one of the men. It was Barry Long.”
