Is this statement just an interpretation of a perceived pattern of every day happenings, and therefore not absolutely true?

This is an empirical matter, the logical truths I'm stating are in now way nullified by the fact that what we are seeing is a delusion. I've even stated the Absolute Truth that every thing is essentially a delusion in that it doesn't exist inherently so it doesn't really matter to me whether or not an image is this or that, it simply is what it is, A=A.

Are you 100% certain about this statement?

Even what it points to is incomplete.
I don't think these are absolute in that they have boundaries, we have to agree on definitions etc. |
Whether or not a truth is limited or is bound in some way doesn't mean it isn't absolutely true. Absolute Truth doesn't mean it is infinite like The All is, it means that it is true at every possible time and in all possible worlds we can imagine. Like I've already said, the All is the only thing that is infinite in every aspect, even the truth relies on untruth for its existence.

I agree that they seem to be reasonable assumptions about the way objects behave based on our current understanding of how things work. In relation to this statement you would only be deluded if you believed these assumptions to be absolutely true.

This is disturbing...

You took the statements out of context. Did you notice how I made myself more clear with this statement?: A belief has nothing to do with facts, it is entirely based in faith. A belief might be true by coincidence, but for the person holding the belief they are ultimately deluded about the truth of the matter. Only the person who has uncovered the truth through careful reasoning and logic would know if that person's belief was true or false.
