Are you aware of the model of the mind system from The Mind Illuminated (a book that teaches meditation)?
First, I have to clarify concepts. There is a consciousness created by the mind. It's the place where sensory input is experienced. It's also the place where thoughts are experienced. It's basically the screen that allows the different parts of the mind system to communicate.
Then, there's the consciousness talked about in this article. It's a more primordial quality.
Now, that model of the mind system says that attention and awareness are the two modes of the mind. Consciousness as the screen of experience is created by the mind. Perception is created by the mind as well.
