Krishnamurti's concept and implications of time and gnostic concept of ego annihilation

I was listening to this lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku6EWkHcyoE and was a bit puzzled by the suggested way of dumping whole burden which hinders the seeing of the self.

So basically it goes like this - because everything we catch along our life is because of time and our deeper insight must be timeless, we have to get rid of those things born from time. Now, it can't be done one-by-one, because it will also take time and therefore it is not the way out of the cycle. And he (Krishnamurti) also suggests that it is possible to get rid of the ballast instantly, without spending time.

Those mental artifacts born from time quite resemble the egos - is this parallel right? If so, then how does it relate with suggestion from one of the beginner's lectures on this site, which suggested to target ego's one by one?

And, while he mentioned quite briefly the method (by example), it seems to me, that the method is all about remembering the love - lack (or not remembering) of which is the cause of suction into time vortex.

I hope this post makes sense.

p.s. Thank you Benedictus for white vs black dragon post - Krishnamurti's lectures are giving interesting insights..
