I’m always wary of use of “absolute” in any form and meaning. It does appear as a power grabbing exercise rather than a quest for truth. The concept might have gained strength in our Western thought during internal, political struggles between Christian factions some two centuries after Christ. (Women bishops of the time were quite intriguing episode.) The “recognised holders of absolute truth” were implicitly entitled to be ultimate judges and dogma was born. For more than thousands years the concept has been ingrained in our habitual thoughts resulting in a quagmire of 17th century philosophies and science that latter fell apart in numerous schools of thoughts all in search of illusionary “absolute truth”. By now, nobody was able to spell out a single one resulting in desperation that “we will never know anything for sure” well reflected in a school of thought called nihilism.

I would suggest that we change the tack and focus ourselves to a coherence of our truths, rather than thinking how insignificant they are in “absolute” terms.

But is it not at the same time just another limiting belief that tells the mind that if you mix the two it will produce undesirable results? Another judging outcome?
I have already expressed my reservations re polarity. It seems that many ex-Buddhists and surface glimpsing outsiders failed to hear the sound of one hand.

They are looking for new and better concepts from others, because they doubt in themselves, they have yet to realize that its within their own minds they dream their dreams, and it is with that very same mind that they bring those dreams to life. Why look outside yourself for what takes place entirely within?? Polarity perhaps is the absolute truth for Steve, because it came from his heart, and he is the master of that tool, he is discovering himself, as we all are except he is looking internally and we are looking externally. Just know what is right for you, never limit yourself and you will in return never be limited in your thinking. Unlimited thinking is what creates a great mind, and a wonderful view of everything in this world.
I have already expressed a simple "measure" for our truths, i.e. how they "fit together - within us and among us. I would also stress the importance of "among us" for there is no better way of keeping our thoughts "in check". They need to be tested by others, otherwise "how wild our thoughts can run" could be well illustrated by example of solitary confinement and its impact on our well being.

Keep up these awesome vantage points, they are inspiring! And don't mind me, dark/light workers, keep up the practice. I'm simply pulling the out-of-the box thinking even further out of it's very own box. The wise ones know it never ends

Okay now a question to ponder: was what I just conveyed yet another limited thought?
Well said, but residues of “absolute truths” and measurements of our “relative truths” against them (towards insignificance of the later) still remain.

I have even better question. Could anyone, PLEASE, let me know a single “absolute truth” that will remain unchanged for ever? (Physicists, modern version of priesthood, have tried with “universal” constants but they are falling apart on almost daily basis.)
