The messenger.
Being aware of what the mind is doing helps you control it. Therefore, observe the mind in action, observe what it is doing and what it is saying. You then see it as something apart from yourself and can treat it accordingly.

About Ian Gardner
Ian Gardner was born on the 20th February 1934 in Sri Lanka, then Ceylon, and christened Basil Ian Gunewardene.
He was born two months prematurely and nearly died five times in his first two months. He moved to Australia in September 1969 where he changed his surname to Gardner. From childhood, he had an enquiring mind and an innate interest in the supernatural.
Since 1986, nineteen years of regular periods of meditation, "searching within", reading and revelations have culminated in this free book which has been nine years in the making. Further writings followed and all his writings are available to all on the Internet free of charge.
There is more information in the preface of the book.

My search - my journey, is now complete.
I am usually aware or unaware of my consciousness.
If I observe something, I instinctively set upon analysing it and forming an opinion.
‘Observing’ as an action or a function is best left to the mind itself.
Let me be a witness of the nothingness.
