That is the "I think therefore I am" approach. Once, this approach led me to a fun conclusion:
I think, therefore I am. However, I also observe what seem to be many consciousnesses. If I am the only provable consciousness, then I also am all the other consciousnesses. How can that be? By the Fermi paradox, I must be the first consciousness. If that is so, the most probable sequence of events is that I (my consciousness) appeared into the the void by pure randomness. Then I got bored, and created all this to pass the time. I am you, and I am every conscious being out there (so, that's why there is this "do unto others" golden rule!)
This is kind of the unified theory of all religions, from mid-eastern origin all the way to Buddhism.
Religion: solved. Now, on to the unified theory of physics.
- RivieraKid 13y ago> I also observe what seem to be many consciousnesses No, you observe a lot of other people that behave similarly to you. If you define consciosuenss as "behaves like me to a certain extent", than yes, there are mutliple consciousnesses. But consciousness is defined as something subjective, so by that definition, there's only one consciousness. Perhaps you're in a dream and imagining everything. Or in a Matrix and other people are just computer programs.
