Actually it doesn't.
Consciousness itself has only one property: It's conscious. It doesn't change.
Now that which consciousness can be conscious
of, the infinite manifestations of consciousness, that does change. We can say that consciousness can be conscious of more and more and more and more, yet pure consciousness itself remains untouched by that which it is conscious of. When consciousness becomes conscious of more content, we call this growth and expansion and learning and so on. When consciousness is focused more upon love and light and all that good stuff, we can say one is raising their level of consciousness or whatever.
Consciousness itself is unchanging. It is permanent, eternal, and ever-present. I know there may be debate over this, ie. what happens when you get knocked out and "lose consciousness," or go into deep sleep or die or before you were born or go into nothingness and so on... where is consciousness then? But that's another topic entirely.
