The experiencer is that aspect of existence which knows everything. It can never be experienced, because it is always the one experiencing. It is the silent witness behind all that appears.
The experiencer has no cause. Any cause would need to be known, and that knowing itself would require the experiencer. It has no beginning or end, because beginnings and endings are events - things that unfold in time - and these too must be witnessed. In the same way, there is no process that can give rise to the experiencer, because every process is also something observed.
There is only one experiencer.
In direct experience, we can't find where one experiencer ends and another begins. No boundary exists. Even logically, the idea of multiple experiencers doesn't hold. If we were to count experiencers, the act of counting would itself be an experience—implying one experiencer behind the observation. The moment we try to objectify the experiencer, we turn it into an experience, not the one who is aware of it.
The experiencer also has no location. The moment we try to locate it - inside the body, in the brain, or anywhere else - it becomes something observed. But the experiencer is not an object within space; it is that which gives space its meaning by perceiving it.
It is not a person. The personality - our name, thoughts, emotions, and identity - is just another set of experiences. The experiencer is beyond all these.
This experiencer is the ultimate truth. It never changes. It is the essence of existence itself - pure, untouched, and always present. You could call it absolute emptiness with infinite potential. It cannot be grasped through the senses or the intellect. It is known not by studying it, but by being it.
To know the experiencer is to be aware. This is what we call awareness.
Awareness is the natural result of self-realization. And awareness becomes possible only when we truly know who we are - not as the body or the mind, but as the unchanging experiencer behind it all.
This is the essence of the spiritual path: to know, and to be, what we already are.
