'Truth is absolute'. Is this a meaningful statement?

Can you elaborate?

What does 'Truth is absolute' mean? Can I say 'water is absolute'?

Just that it isn't relative like many seem to believe. There exists an ultimate truth that is reality.

Nope; all states of being are determined by mind😵

Can you substantiate this bald assertion?

Is there a reality that is not reality?

Truth with a capital 't' is what i feel in the pit of my stomach, it is my connection with reality.
As soon as i think or talk(or type)about it,it becomes relative.

That's not a great way of substantiating your bald assertion that 'There exists an ultimate truth that is reality'.

If I restate your sentence, I get 'reality is truth' or 'truth is reality', which I find tautological.

Not exactly -you may go stranded if you try to give shape to your idea based on the symbol/ element known as fire; it 's easier to meditate through conceiving the Void inside you I reckon😵

You're just creating a straw man.

Take the entire assertion all together:
"Just that it isn't relative like many seem to believe. There exists an ultimate truth that is reality."

If you're going to restate it, then restate it in such a way that it captures the essence of the entire assertion.

The nature of "truth" is experiential and is related to all intentional activity carried out by whoever tries to find the so called "truth".
Thus: no intentionality for such an action means no activity within the fundamental cognitive-experiential field of reality; and then, the potentiality of the so called "truth" to emerge into full experiential reality is out of order😵

I'm not sure because I found some of this worded awkwardly, but aren't you basically putting limits on what 'truth' can be and then drawing conclusions from that?

Nope; all I say is that all states of being are determined by mind, truth included😵
