What you call "consciousness" is simply a mechanism to keep our body alive and healthy and successfully reproduce and provide for our children. That is the only reason we are "experiencing" something, just like any other living organism.You are on the right track here, but you make the mistake of assuming that there are multiple individual 'consciousnesses' (idea of self) when in a physicalist universe, there are no individual distinctions, rather pure Consciousness as an ontological reality.
Once the mechanism stops working, we stop being "conscious".
