In most traditions, absolution is something granted —
by a priest, by a god, by another person.
It is seen as forgiveness given from outside,
as if someone else can undo what you carry.
But in the Clear Text lens, absolution is not something you receive.
It is something that happens when the structure holding guilt dissolves.
Absolution is not forgiveness.
It is the end of the self who thought there was something to forgive.
