It's the bit that doesn't require proof, or can be doubted, or be refutable, so it's the bit that is absolute.

The realisation 'I am a thinking being' is an absolute truth. This truth is undeniable. I know this, but I do not know how or why I know this. And yes, thoughts manifest 'the thinker'. And the thinker manifests the 'I am' Absolutely, without doubt or error. And yes, to make, or claim such statements, requires the linguistics of language. Thought and language are not understood as referring to fixed objects that pre-exist in a world outside language. This is because those things can simply not be found. Neither can language, which posits that 'thought' precedes language. Anyways, the point is, in my opinion, from my own intuition, from the perspective of my own direct experience, is that I know 'I am a thinking being' and that is the only absolute truth that I can be certain about. And yet I do not know how, or why, or when, or where, or who, is knowing I am, just that I am known, absolutely. That's all this topic is pertaining to.

Okay, but on this topic, in this thread, I will be referring 'only' to the absolute truth stated in the OP, that states the absolute truth is - 'I think therefore I Am' - I am thinking therefore I exist. (the sky is blue) is linguistics.

The 'absolute' of 'absolute truth' is a truth that cannot not be.

Linguistics.

Absolutely.

Saying is just happening. Why, why there is a need for this forum?

I've no idea.

An idea.

Here, we have a fine example of 'Linguistics' in action.

Either which way, matters not. Existence cannot be denied, refuted or negated as being non-existence.

You could try putting yourself in God’s shoes, the God you assume exists, and then ask yourself , now that I am God, why am I not liking myself? If you are God already, without doubt or error, then the same question applies, why would I hate on myself ?

Nothing ever changes because the one that only appears to change , apparently, is actually changeless. The one that appears to change, apparently, never changed, for this ONE can never be found to be truly there in an objective way. This makes it impossible to cling to a teaching or to haggle over other people’s ideas or interpretations. Perception in this case, is deception.

Pretension cannot be found when looked for closely, not anywhere real even.

You are immortal forever without companionship. Alone as infinite solitude, but not lonely. You can always catch your reflection looking back at you, that image of the imageless.

Very well said. 👍🎯

I remember being dead. It was the most uneventful period of my life. Nothing to write home about, nothing to report.

What solipsism gets right is that there is only one thing, what it gets wrong is that that thing is “you”. One thing chooses nothing and imposes no perspective. If there’s a “ you” who knows solipsism is true, then “you” would never know it’s false.

Oh Leo Lol, you’re so incorrigible. 😂 Look at this bad boy 🔽 🍕 pizzas 🍕 people incarnated as P zzzzzz’s

You are posting to a shadow. The shadow you are casting and catching in your net.

The knower is equal to the known. There’s no difference between a high vibrational Buddha and a low vibrational Buddha.
