Does form require awareness?
There is awareness of form, but form is not aware so form doesn't actually exist.

There is no form in awareness except as an illusory projected image of the imageless awareness.

Awareness cannot itself be observed, it is not an object, an object is an image of the invisible.

The ''SELF'' is invisible, but without the ''SELF'' there is no ''I''

The 'I'' is the seen, the ''SELF'' is the seer.

For a second I thought that DAM actually said something sensible, but turns out she quoted others. (I would add that "consciousness" here is just another word for reality.)

Yes "proper" Eastern nondualism is pretty much as different from solipsism as it's possible to be. Many people criticize it for being solipsistic. But the funny thing is that it's the critics themselves who are much closer to solipsism, which is why they totally misunderstand nondualism.

We are always quoting others. No thing was ever born, to know is to be born to knowledge, who informed you of your birth?
Know what I mean?

Well I'm not always quoting others. How's it going, still think that the other half of your split mind is some kind of Source, and that you're a quantum multidimensional light worker on a temporary mission on this planet?

You quote your name, your name is the other you...it temporal, and not who you are, you are not your name.

When your work's done around these parts, will you go back to your dimension?

Anything can happen in the story...who knows...there is only light working it’s light.
