Someone please explain. How tf do you try to imagine an apple and end up with a grey blob. Are you colorblind in your head? What if you try to imagine a grey blob? Would it turn out even worse than the "apple?" Please help.

I would heavily recommend Nikhilananda's translation of the Upanishads. It is by far the most comprehensive set, not just in terms of the text itself, but also in terms of supplemental material from Advaita thinkers from the time. I have the four volume set, and even though I would recommend all four, volumes one, two, and maybe three really stand out as being essential.

Assuming this is OP, volumes one and two have the kena, katha, isha, mundaka, shvetashatara, prashna, and mandukya Upanishads. In my opinion, the only major Upanishad you would be missing out on would be the Brihadaranyaka in Volume three. If you're coming into the Upanishads from Schopenhauer, I think the supplemental material from Shankara, Gaudapada, and Nikhilananda would be very helpful, as Advaita closely resembles most of Schopenhauer's ideas and would likely be akin to your interpretation of the text.

Just to address

First of all, who cares if Advaita is similar to Buddhism, what your saying is nowhere close to an argument. Unless if you're all braindead religious dogmatists.
Secondly, you should all read Gaudapada's Karika on the Mandukya Upanishad (The Karika is actually in volume two of Nikhilananda's translation). Towards the end he outlines a really good argument against dvaita and explains why Advaita is fundamentally different from the Buddhist notion of Shunyata. People have been accusing Advaita philosophers of being "crypto-buddhist" since the 500's and you people still refuse to engage with Gadapada's arguments from the Karika to this day.
