Consciousness is a function or attribute of the "I". It is not the "I".
It is a state of awareness or a state of perceiving, which the "I" projects. I can't define "I", except to say that it is just what you are, after everything else has been taken away.
The "I" only appears to be immersed in consciousness.
I have my consciousness and you have yours.
consciousness is awareness and dare I say creative thought/imagination
ego is perception - if you are perceiving than you are in a state of ego projection/manifestation.

the I that I think that I am in relation to the physical manifestation of "Reality" is the Ego Mind, which believes itself seperate from the eternal one Consciousness.

One consciousness is the source of everything - and like a seed sprouting forth, it projects itself outward into manifested reality - as us.

It is the belief that it is separate which makes it so.
