You know the object is real because you know that you, the subject are real. But no, you the subject can't be found anywhere, you actually infer your existence from that of the object, or the objective world in which you (fail to) find yourself. So, if the subject is only an idea born out of belief in the object it can't also underwrite the object. What makes you think the object is real then? The more you look the more fishy it becomes - every route to the object goes by way of the subject, but the subject if it has any reality at all lies on the other side of the object! The object starts to melt away - all that colourful stuff out there, it's really a bit belated - if you could come right in to the point when it first appears, its arising, you'd likely find nothing there at all, obviously. The object doesn't melt into awareness, since awareness belongs to the subject. What does it melt into then? It can't have a name, its pure context without content. Like the sound of one hand.
