Ah, Max, I think we have crossed wires. I couldn't figure out what you were talking about. I am referring to the observer of self not observer of things. I can only do it this way although I do understand where you are coming from but don't quite see it like you do.
I see the observer as being within the consciousness along with awareness and everything else (your container) but not the same thing at all. To me the consciousness is the sum of all parts, but we cannot be aware of all the parts simultaneously.
I also believe we are creating all the time from the whole consciousness whether or not we are aware. It appears to have been created in the moment but in fact, it is the moment of 'awareness' of the creation, not the actual moment of creation. When the mind is focussed on the moment then that is truly all you have. When the mind is fully focussed in the moment then creation is possible in the moment.
However, having said that, I believe the mind only conjures up possibilities. If these possibilities are not based in reality of who you are, then they will hardly manifest.
