Biocentrism

I cannot go along with the author's theory. Realty & Perception must be considered two separate entities. Things exist even when not perceived. Observation is not necessary for existence. If a tree falls in a forest a sound is made. A vehicle to hear that sound is not needed. The components to make that sound is all that is needed. Truth or Realty is defined by Perception but doesn't create it. The real question comes when one asks whose Perception does one believe. If I Park my car in a garage and walk away, my car exists in that parking space. According to the author it doesn't exist when I no longer am observing it. But if a car comes into the garage to park he cannot park where I parked. One could say that he observed my car. But my car had to exist for him to observe it. The driver looking at that spot did not make my car exist. His theory doesn't make logical sense. Objects don't need perception to be real. Realty and perception are not the same.
