Then we can loosely say "First there was nothing. Which then exploded." I can't find the reason. Why would this situation be preferable to the unbroken undifferentiated infinite? All that is now was known in that infinite.
Let me try two explanations:
1) It is all but impossible to appreciate any finite aspect of the undifferentiated infinite while existing within it. So, even though all exists in that infinite, none can actually be recalled. In order then, to recall everything that can happen, the Infinite Creator must actually cause it to happen. Sort of like re-reading every book within a library, but only being able to recall the book and story that is currently being read. To do this, Our Cosmic Reader must suspend belief (as opposed to suspending dis-belief as we do when reading a fiction novel) that all is One. It is this process of suspension of belief that actually creates the Logos (aka this octave of existence) and begins the experiences therein. Like opening a book and leaving your current mundane existence behind.

The question why am I me and not you is asked within my book. In essence the question could not be asked with the same meaning in any other book. It's the usual mantra, "I cannot see what you see because I see what I see".

So we are merely actualizing this eventuality through the illusion of Free Will. In reality we have no Free Will, we simply are acting in every possible way in every possible situation and following a single thread of consciousness and weaving it into a coherent story of existence.I agree.
But what is the first motivator? Why would the creator desire to know himself. Why did he open the books in the first place?
There has to be some kind of unavoidable root cause. Like I said before I have a hard time accepting that it was just a fancy. "Hey let's kick off the morning by having a good experience of self. And maybe if there is time we'll have boiled eggs afterwards."
It's really: "First there was nothing, which then exploded... Without adequately explored reasons."

Coincidence? You decide.
