Question: How can I always remain as the witness?

You assume that you’re the mind and so have to “get back to” the witness.

You also assume that you keep forgetting to take your stand as the witness and so you need to effortfully keep reminding yourself to be it.

Drop these two assumptions. Aren’t you the witness right now? For instance, while seeing is occurring right now, isn’t it clear that you’re effortlessly opening to this experience?

Sure, there are times during the day when situations can feel sticky. Inquire into them: Who is in a foul mood, for instance? You’re already taking your stand as the witness in order for the inquiry to get under way.

Know that the witness is not “something” that can be “gotten back to” or that can be “moved away from.” The boundless ocean in which all fish are swimming is already here. Silently know this to be just as true of witnessing awareness.
