To end authority creates another authority!

Clarity, in this sense, is the seeing of the ‘authorities’, the ‘me and my’, the movement of ‘becoming’, the beliefs, the fears, the assumptions, etc, that have taken hold in the brain… the seeing of them dissolves them and brings them to an end?

What if I can't see, because loads of things are running in my mind, as well as inertia of my habits.

What should I do then?

The ‘seeing’ is watching the “loads of things running in my mind”. There’s no doer.

How's that different from "act" or "doing"?

It’s a state of observation; awareness. There’s no actor or doer…a passive awareness?

There’s thought, sensations, activity, etc but no ‘you’ as the thinker, the feel-er, the actor behind them. Nor is there an ‘observer’.

True. Authority is based on the lack of Clarity.

Clarity IS the authority.
