Reply to Is nonduality the absolute or a contingent knowledge?

By Strannik,
no, everything I'm stating is a contingent truth, except for the bare given experiential fact of: "What we actually know in our direct conscious experience is only a flow of qualia/phenomena present here and now inseparable from the "isness/presence" and conscious awareness of them."? We label this bare fact with the word "Consciousness". Let's take an example with the truth of "Infinite Absolute Consciousness". We all know that Consciousness is present here and now, we simply all directly experience ourselves as Consciousness. It is possible that it is indeed the bottom of reality and the absolute truth. It is also possible that there is a reality beyond Consciousness. Now, how would Consciousness ever know if there is anything beyond it, or if there is nothing beyond it? There is no way for Consciousness to go "out of itself" to directly check and experientially know if there is anything beyond it. This means that for Consciousness the possibility of anything existing or non-existing beyond Consciousness will FOREVER remain unresolvable and unknown. There may exist a reality beyond Consciousness, or there may not, and there is no way for Consciousness to know it for certain. Therefore, any statement regarding the existence of reality beyond Consciousness can only be an unverifiable and unfalcifiable belief: "Consciousness is all there is" is a belief, "there is a reality beyond Consciousness" (such as matter, or some "Neutral Prime" as per neutral monism ontology or else) is also a belief. So now we have two options. One is to religiously stick with one of these beliefs. The other one is to remain agnostic and open to any possibility. The first option would be locking ourselves into a specific religion or philosophy by taking it as an absolute truth. The second one is freedom and liberation from clinging to any absolute beliefs.  The funny thing is that it can actually be true in the absolute sense that "Consciousness is all there is". Or it can also be absolutely true that "there is a reality beyond Consciousness". So, I'm not denying that the absolute truth may exist. I'm only saying that there is no way for Consciousness to know what this "absolute Truth" is, because Consciousness is forever imprisoned within its own boundless limits and cannot ever know in principle if there is anything or nothing existing beyond itself.
