I think there is often a misconception that consciousness is the Self or All That Is. Consciousness is the state of awareness of something.
The essential "I" is a pulsating potentiality. As soon as you direct your light of perception onto something, whether it is yourself, something "apparently" external, or All that Is, or even oblivion, you become conscious of it, you become aware.
So consciousness is a function or attribute of the essentail "I"; it is not the "I".
