You are being it right now, but when you are lost in the thought streams (beta brain waves), you lose the connection with (consciousness about)  your True Self and consciousness goes to sleep and ego operates. When you relax and activate the parasympathetic nervous system (by slowing the breathing down) consciousness awakens and the ego goes to sleep.  You can be aware and lose the  connection/ consciousness  of experience, because you are aware of the mind that is not present now, the mind abides in time, time is separated from experience that is now.
