CK I assume that experiences are the only aspect of reality I am directly
acquainted with. Their existence poses an obvious challenge to our current,
quite limited understanding of the physical nature of reality and they cry out
for a rational, empirically testable explanation

Explaining feelings to a zombie is a much greater challenge than
explaining seeing to a person born without sight. For the blind person
knows about sounds, touches, loving, hating, and so on; I just have to
explain that a visual experience is like an auditory experience except visual
percepts are associated with blobs that move in a certain way as the eyes
swivel and the head turns and whose surfaces have peculiar properties such
as color and texture. The zombie, by contrast, has no percepts of any kind to
compare the feeling of seeing to.
#######################
I wake up every day to a world suffused with conscious experience. As a
rational being, I seek to explain the nature of this luminous feeling, who has
it and who doesn’t, how it arises out of physics and my body, and whether
engineered systems can have it. Just because it is more difficult to define
consciousness objectively than to define an electron, a gene, or a black hole,
doesn’t mean that I have to abandon the quest for a science of
consciousness. I just have to work harder at it.

KY The purpose of Kriya Yoga is mind-purification that will lead to its own
dissolution into the ecstasy of nothingness (Nirvikalpa Samadhi).

b The Buddha started and ended his teaching with the issue of how to put an end to suffering, and it’s easy to agree with him that this is an important issue to address. Some people, though, wonder if that’s all he addresses. Just put an end to suffering? What else is there? Aren’t there bigger issues in life? Actually, it was a part of the Buddha’s genius to realize that if you put an end to suffering, you learn a lot of other things about the mind. If you focus on the issue of suffering, a lot of things are brought right there together. Because right where there’s feeling there’s also attention and intention, perception — particularly intention. And when these issues are solved, everything important gets solved as well."
~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "The Choice Not to Suffer"

ND Awareness is infinite possibilities,formless,which is manifesting itself in finit forms

There is no God and we are his prophets.

Yes it needs a body form to manifest in order to know ITSelf n you are That Awareness already! Nothing exists without IT, all you see is IT!
Infinite awareness is to Flow with what is
Duality is required for original clarity to be revealed. Otherwise you cannot know you exist
it seems this question could also be answered through employment of practice, along with the explanation, and This is how the buddha consulted aspirants ...
So the practice would be through the employment of discrimination of the senses.
Hearing
Seeing
Smelling
Touching
Tasting
And simply ask ...
Instructor: if I tell you to hear something , what switch do you turn on to hear ?
Aspirants : you wouldn't turn on a switch ...
Instructor: ... why .. why wouldn't you turn on a switch to hear ?
Aspirant : ... because it's automatic
Instructor: so you mean ...hearing is just happening.
Aspirant : Yes, it's just happening.
Instructor: so if hearing is just happening .. who is it that hears ?
.... same for seeing, smelling, tasting, touching
Hearing is happening...
But no one who hears
Tasting is happening
But no one who taste
Smelling is happening
But no one who smells
Manifestation is happening ... but no one who manifest..
This practice allows an unraveling from the I sense .. which is what the questioner is really looking for.
