Very excellent post Eternal!
Absolute truth is partially defined as something which cannot be doubted. Philosophies may be doubted, certain functions may be doubted, your physical body may be doubted too (modern day physics tells us that there isn't any actual solid matter), even the trueforms of all things may be doubted; we only perceive a limited spectrum of light. We do not see in infrared or ultraviolet. But what is the ONE THING which nobody can ever doubt?
Consciousness. No matter what, consciousness is always there. It is omnipresent. It is omniscient. It would not be possible for us to speculate upon existence or pursue the truth were we not conscious beings, embedded within consciousness. All that occurs, all that is, all are manifested from consciousness. We do not ever directly experience consciousness. We only experience the contents of consciousness, the thoughts, emotions, feelings, all sensory data which we analyze through our senses. How we interact with consciousness is limited to our perceptions, which are themselves limited, and it must be remembered that the world as we view it is only how the human brain sees and perceives the world, not how it TRULY is. Dolphins, they do not see physical form. But they are able to perceive every one of our internal processes, the beating of our hearts, the processes of our organs, as easily as we can see facial expressions change they can view these things. Two radically different experiences of the world, yet neither invalidates the other. Both are truth, or rather, different takes on the truth.
If truth did not exist, there would not be different approaches to it. If consciousness did not exist, there would be no perceptions of it. Our seeking of truth is limited because we do so unaware that we are restricted to where we may initiate our pursuits, within consciousness. The concept of an "absolute truth" would not even be had this concept, these words, not arisen from a conscious being who is a part of consciousness.
So we may thus conclude, that because it can never be doubted, and because it is ever present, and is self-evident, that consciousness (rather, the faculty of consciousness) is the absolute truth. Consciousness is essentially the essence One Infinite Creator. Thus the Creator is absolute truth.
