Consciousness is everywhere, because it is all-pervading and infinite.+

The experience and experiencer exist within the domain of form, time, and space. The form, time, and space are within the domain of the dualistic illusion or Maya.

The invisible Soul, the  Self, cannot be experienced because the experience is possible only in the realm of duality. There is neither experience nor experiencer in reality. In Self-awareness, the body, ego, and the world are not considered different from consciousness

To experiencer must have a form; without the form, the experience is impossible? The experience is impossible without the form, time, and space. The experiencer and the experience are one, in essence. The essence is the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

Anubhav in the Advaitic contest is not an experience, but it is the realization of the  Self, hidden by the dualistic illusion (Maya or world). 

Remember the invisible Soul, the Self, not an individual, but the Self is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. The experience is possible only in the domain of form, time, and space. In Atmic reality, the form, time, and space are one in essence.

The invisible  Soul, the Self, is the fullness of consciousness without the division of form, time, and space. All the division in consciousness is merely an illusion. Thus, other than consciousness, all else is merely an illusion. The illusion is also consciousness because it is created out of consciousness.

The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, our mental and intellectual conditions determine the world, observed and experienced. The commoner viewing the world will see it differently from a Gnani viewing the same world. Each one interprets the world that they see in terms of their existing knowledge. The commoner sees everything based on the ego; therefore, he experiences the birth, life, death, and the world as a reality, whereas a Gnani sees everything as consciousness, and he is fully aware that there is no second thing that exists other than the invisible  Soul or consciousness. 

Thus, all the egocentric knowledge has to be bifurcated to realize the ultimate truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.   

Remember:~ 

The universe will not disappear. But the unreal nature of the universe is exposed just like a dream becomes unreal when waking takes place.

A Gnani observes the consciousness hidden by the universe as it is without form, time, and space. To a Gnani, the universe is illusory because his views and judgment of the worldview are based on the invisible Soul, the Self.

They alone in this world are endowed with the highest wisdom who are firm in their conviction of the sameness and birthlessness of Atman. The ordinary man does not understand their way. (Chapter IV — Alatasanti Prakarana 95-P-188 in Upanishads by Nikilanada)

Perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ through deeper thinking and reasoning helps to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.:~Santthosh Kumar
