Is There a Difference Between Being and Awareness?

A man asks Rupert if being and awareness are the same and, if so, why do we have two words for the same thing. Rupert asks him to imagine that this was his first ever experience – you had never seen, smelled, tasted, heard anything. Rupert asks him what would his primary experience be of himself? The man replies, ‘I am.’ When you say I am, what you're really saying is, I know that I am. Is the ‘I’ that I am the same ‘I’ that knows that I am, or are they two different types? The man replies that they are the same.
