I've been puzzling over something. If we are "I am," ego, not identified with the body, beings of pure consciousness, then how could we ever *lose* consciousness? If I am essentially consciousness, consciousness could never be separated from me. But I lose consciousness when I sleep and under many other circumstances.

      Hare Krishna,

      So when we fall asleep or otherwise lose consciousness, the consciousness we lose is not pure consciousness?
