I've mentioned this somewhere else before in a different context, but it works nicely here as well. I'm going to quote one of my favorite scientists, Carl Sagan. The man. According to him, "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

I'm a personal believer in collective consciousness and experience. We don't have individual souls, just a common experience of life in individual bodies. As for Solipsism, I've dealt with that myself, but it never bothered me to the point of lethargy. Even if my entire existence is my own creation and totally in my head, my experience is there nonetheless regardless of the context it is in.

I didn't want to go the obvious route and use this quote, but it fits so now I will:

"I think, therefore I am"
