Do you realize every time you make a statement like this you are doing exactly what you say you can't do? Which would be attempting to state an absolute truth.

No, A=A is the law of identity. Meaning a thing is exactly what it is, and nothing else. Even if it turns out what we were seeing previously as an apple is actually an orange does not undermine A=A. The equation always remains the same, it just means that what was previously apple=apple at one time is now orange=orange. Never does it mean apple=orange or orange=apple.

Based on what I've said so far you should be able to see exactly how it is possible. Unfortunately if you haven't realized it by now it probably wont ever happen. Your consciousness breaking free from the chains of delusion may not be in your karmic nature.
