I am

Let us presume that I am consciousness.  Consciousness is bound to the senses and their interaction with sense objects.  Through them, consciousness becomes intertwined with likes and dislikes, craving and aversion, desire, hate, ill-will, greed.  Thus, from consciousness springs happiness, the quest for happiness, unhappiness and fear.  If it turns out that I am not consciousness, that I am only temporarily experiencing consciousness, then I am-ness might become free of consciousness, and with it craving and desire and aversion and hate and fear.  What is left?  What is I am?
