So let's say, for the sake of argument, underlying all of this physical stuff is consciousness. And then you want to bring in the philosophy of religion. And you say that as a whole, All of the universe is one big conscious mind. You've got a problem there, which is either the combination problem or the decombination problem, which goes something like this.

You take all of these little conscious particles in the table. How do they add up to one unified mind like they do in my brain? I don't have loads of little experiences going on now. I have one coherent stream of consciousness seeing you, hearing these sounds, seeing these lights. It's not like there's loads of little conscious experiences happening.

So how is it that they all come together to form one unified experience? And you have the opposite problem for this pantheistic view, which is if you've got this great big global mind, this ocean of consciousness underlying everything, how does that big godlike mind...

decombine into little minds like why is my experience not your experience why is it here rather than there and it doesn't seem like although we might have some like knee-jerk reaction answers to that question philosophically we can't draw the boundary like the skull and my brain seem like arbitrary boundaries when i'm saying that the whole thing is well let's let's explore it like what would be the reasons why we would have individual experiences and a collective consciousness

You could have reasons for it.

There could be benefits and there could be reasons for it. In terms of, let's paint this pantheistic picture of, again, the reason and the goal of the universe and life. If I see myself as here rather than there, perhaps it allows me to better my community in this location and add to the value of it as an individual. Actually, it's time to think about it.

I'm not sure from the perspective of God what reason there is to break these things apart. Maybe it's better for God if you have lots of disjointed egos that transcend them and make the world a better place, despite the fact that you just want to buy private jets and look after themselves.
