Is There a Self Prior to Consciousness?

A man asks if it’s fair to refer to the self as ‘consciousness’. And if one can observe consciousness, wouldn’t that make the self prior to consciousness? Rupert asks him, ‘What is it that observes consciousness?’ He suggests that our true essence is consciousness or awareness, as it constitutes our most intimate and fundamental experience. He emphasises that being aware, or awareness itself, represents the ‘self with a capital S’ in his understanding and language.
