This depends a lot on how you define "I". If you define it to be about deliberation then that means there no agency. There however no need to define deliberation as a central part of conscious action.

People meditate partly to be in a state where they aren't driven by mental deliberation. You frequently find that state described as being of a higher form of consciousness.
