The question of objectivity and subjectivity disappears when we recognize that thought is also a substance that is sensed mentally. In other words, thought and consciousness are as much a part of the universe as radiation and matter.

Detached from the universe is a uniform awareness that is not identified with anything in the universe. Awareness is, therefore, a dimension independent of the universe, whereas, consciousness is not.

Space is obviously the extent of substance, when it is treated in geometry as “space filled with matter”. So, when we recognize thought also as a substance, we can look at “empty space” as “space filled with thought”. This establishes space as a property of the universe, and not a property of our senses. This contradicts Kant because Kant didn’t look at thought as a substance.

The idea of subjectivity comes about only when we identify ourself with consciousness. We then think that, when we look at consciousness, we are looking “inwards” at ourselves. But, consciousness consists of thought, and we can look at consciousness as objectively as we can look at matter.

Thus, there is no subjectivity. There is only objectivity.

There is nobody looking at the universe, who can then turn around and look at itself subjectively. There is only an awareness of universe that is a new dimension, which is independent of all other dimensions of the universe.

We simply have to detach ourselves from any identification with any forms of the universe, and be one with that independent dimension of awareness. We can then investigate consciousness and subconsciousness like we investigate any other phenomenon of the universe.

This has long been recommended by the Vedas, Hinduism and Buddhism.
