This paper presents the "Axiom of Perpetual Consciousness," asserting that the absolute existence of consciousness is based on first-person introspection. Matter, as a (visible object), is verified through (experimental evidence); consciousness, as an (invisible subject), is verified using (immaterial logic). This establishes the principle of verification: (visible by visible) and (invisible by invisible). Therefore, consciousness can only be verified through (first-person self-perception) and the application of (formal logic), ultimately leading to (the conclusion of consciousness's perpetual nature). If consciousness were to be completely annihilated in the future, then (present perception and experience) would be (equivalent to having never existed). This is because nothingness (Nihil), within (first-person experience), is (transcendent of temporal constraints), and (the first-person can never experience nothingness). Only (the third person) can witness (the process of disappearance), while (the present existence of first-person perception) is (the proof of eternity). This paper also points out that humanity's habitual doubt regarding perpetual consciousness stems from (inertial thinking), ("death means annihilation" established education), and (the limitations of the third-person observer effect).
