Might as well start by eliminating the word "meaning" from the question.
That leaves the core mystery to savor before expressing its wonder in mere, pale words.
Life itself is unfathomable. Why me, you, us? As is our very awareness. It's more than a neurochemical reaction or the like.
Descartes, for me, fails the mystery altogether. Thinking, which can wander all over the place, is secondary. Feeling is more primal, closer to what the Bible calls heart.
I prefer recasting it as "I breathe, therefore I am," as more embodied. You know, inspiration, expiration. Inhale, exhale. It's more Zen, and the Hebrew word for breath is the same word for soul, so I've been told. (And soul equals heart there.)
Action, then, perchance, as a way forward? Even one breath at a time?
Explain any of that, if you can.
Without raising too many more questions.
Now, have a great day.
