“The witness and consciousness appear and disappear together. The witness or the sense 'I am' too is transient but is given importance to break the spell of the known; the illusion that only the perceivable is real. Presently for you perception is primary and witnessing secondary, revert it to make witnessing primary and perception secondary (The 'I am' is just a device to revert).”
