@Leo Gura what do you mean objects dont exist? it doesnt exist as in its a hallucination? but even if its a hallucination it still exists as an experience 

Your mind is so attached to appearances (experiences) that it struggles to see that overlaid right on top of the appearance, is the disappearance.

So you look at a chair, you see the colors of the chair, but you ignore the fact that in the exact same place of those colors, is nothingness. The colors literally ARE nothingness. But your mind isn't grasping that because it's overly focused on the colors. The mind is biased towards appearances.

If you focus your awareness on the chair long enough, eventually you will start to get the sense that the chair -- although it appears right there -- isn't actually there! It is technically-speaking a hallucination, a mirage.

@Leo Gura Are there any good books covering this topic of Naive realism vs "Why Brains Do Not Exist"-type of non dual perspective? Or are all your episodes on this the results of psychedelics and your own experiences?

@DnoReally There are a few good books. See the Metaphysics category of my book list. Also the Consciousness category will be highly useful to you.
