I think you over used the commas there. It should be "I think, therefore I am."

The way you said it doesn't really make sense.

it's bullshit, thought doesn't necessarily imply one's own existence, your thoughts can be had by something or someone else

And yet, if your thoughts are held by but one mind, then THAT mind must exist.
It doesn't matter what type of body, or in what reality YOU exist in, you exist. [you subscribe, then, with this theory to a dualist view of existence, as such: even if the physical body is different or non-existent, the mind must still exist.]

This is your idea of something LESS sucky than "I think, therefore I am"?

Even so, even if our consciousnesses are part of this other being, they are still our consciousnesses. A rock exists as it exists, a tree as it does, and I as I do, If I am a cog in a multi-conscious being, then that is the nature of my existence. WHO I am may change, however "I" never will.

if you would say they do, then we have different notions of existence and this discussion is fruitless and barren, like a lonely old cat lady.

A man with multiple personalities does not have multiple consciouses, he has multiple expressive states which react to the environment his consciousness exists in. A being with multiple consciouses exists in a whole different level. All consciouses believing itself to exist as itself, with no true conscious of its own [barring the concept of the collective creating a transcended and additive conscious...]  

But then we could all really be bacteria of cosmic scale floating around the body of some infinitely large being.

THIS, is what I call masturbatory theorizing.

No offense intended of course.
