What is absolute

In reality, apart from the very absolute, nothing is absolute. There is always a margin for error. Every answer has both merit and weakness, both truth and false perception. Can we see the energy? we can only perceive the energy but we can see the matter. It is so called duality of every atom we see, perceive & experience out of matter. All "facts" are temporary as you can see they change every moment. A certain piece of knowledge may be accepted as popular truth but prone to change in the future when the supporting elements change. It was once a fact that the earth was flat, once a fact that bloodletting cured all ills, once a fact that tomatoes were poisonous... Those were supposed to be facts because there was no scientific evidence to prove otherwise. But it's easy to believe that with the billions of stars in our galaxy, with billions of planets circling them, on a few of them there must be conditions that would support life and that perhaps some of that life has evolved into intelligent life- I call it as "Common Denominator". There's no scientific evidence that there is life after death yet so many great thinkers and spiritual leaders truly believe there is a hereafter and there are many that say they've witnessed it. And there are several theories proposed by renowned scientists on how something in one place in the universe can suddenly blink into another place (electron teleportation, superstring theory) like the luminosity near the horizon. Perhaps one day the "facts" of today will be the myths of yesterday. And visa versa - our myths may become reality.

I believe that I AM for real.
Of course, it will be proved as a myth by some Noble Prize winner tomorrow! Until then, I take it as unbelievably true!
