If we are not really this empty vessel of a biochemical machine then how do you explain brain damage and its consequential altered states of consciousness?

The brain only creates perception of the 3D. It gets damaged, your perceptions get damaged.
Think of a radio. You break the radio, you can't listen to the stations anymore. The signals are still floating through the air though, just nothing around to interpret them, decode them, and make them interface with the plane of reality you can perceive

This. The brain is a receiver, damage it and get bad reception.
