Imagine.
A Spirit comes to answer your question. He takes you to a place where there is a gigantic wheel in the sky. On each spoke of the wheel, is a person of each race, color, religion, gender, language and belief that ever existed. And every single one of them is shouting out the truth.
You tell that Spirit that it is impossible to understand the truth with all of them shouting at once, in so many different languages. Which one of them is right? The Spirit tells you that all of them are right. You still don't understand how it's possible to comprehend it.
The Spirit then spins the great wheel while all the people still shout out their respective truths. He spins the wheel faster and faster, and you notice that all the faces, and all the sounds of their voices begin to blend together. Eventually, all of their faces and colors blend into one amazing color, and all of their voices combine to form one continuous sound -- one that you've never heard before. You turn to the Spirit in understanding.
The sound you are hearing...is the sound of the absolute truth.

The real world contains pretty much nothing that is absolute (and I won't be absolute even about that). If you are looking for the absolute, then, the only place you're going to find it is in the world of ideas.
It is much easier for an idea to be absolute. All that's really necessary is that you define it that way. The same goes for truth... without annoying facts and evidence cluttering up things, truth is far, far easier to achieve.
Which really begs another question: if the most absolute and the most truth can only be found in completely imaginary contexts, is there really any point in pursuing them? Personally, rather than absolute truth I'd rather have 'accurate within acceptable limits' and 'practical and valuable' concepts. But that's me.

Hello
The answer to this question is quite simple.
Look closely at yourself. Venture deeper into your consiousness and make notes about the person who you think you are. Then ask some friends and family (who you know will be honest with you) and ask them what THEY think your truely like. Sometimes we like to think of ourselves being great people. When we take the time to dig deep into our own lives we find the truth. Its an amazing discovery of life and often opens up our eyes. Not only to who we really are but to how the way we are effects others.
When you can truely see yourself and know the truth (even your flaws and weaknesses) THEN, you can start searching for greater truths beyond ones self.

Right here.
Truth did not exist before intelligent brains. There was only existence. Planets, life, energy, etc... Any truth based on morality, justice, feelings, god, or anything like that is relative and based in our brains. Meaning the absolute truth for those things is that there is none.

Look within your heart to find your truth. Absolute truth is not something that your brain can recognize.

Don't waste your time or money or self making such a journey : There is no absolute Truth.
Only applicable to anyone's INDIVIDUAL existence, are the truths that make sense and can be trusted to maintain our own integrity.

From what I hear, you have to die and got to this place called "heaven" in order to find the absolute truth...you can't find it amongst humans...

The absolute truth is kind of cold and inhuman.
