Hi mate,
okay, more sensible answer.....Im not going to say that we are individuals because thats an open invitation to the non-dualists to burst through the door with swords drawn. However, I would say that there are individual consciousness's. As you point out, if there weren't, they would be no unique experiences happening, we would all be experiencing the same thing. Actually it goes beyond that, because if there were no unique experiences happening there would be no experience at all!
In order that God or Source can experience itself, it requires individual consciousness's. It requires uniqueness, difference, duality. If it was all blue there would be no experience of blue or anything else. It requires a rainbow of colour in order that it can experience itself.
So what I think we have is formless and form, and then the individual consciousness resides in the middle (though ultimately none of it is separate). Without an individual consciousness there would be nothing to give shape to the form (which is essentially just material) The individual consciousness gives shape and uniqueness, it is crucial to the diversity of Creation.
