However, even when the son is separated from the father in this fallen world, the father is still with the son and experiences what the son experiences. And even when the father and son are one in this fallen world, the father and son are separated.
How is this paradox reconciled? Like I said, God the father divides himself, meaning he is in multiple places of the story at once. He is even divided against himself.
So yes, the father sends the son into this world as a child. But, the father is with the son too, experiencing everything the son experiences.
You're writing about things having to do with what's in scripture in a way that seems to me to be unfounded. If you're going to make claims maybe you should support everything you write with scripture so that you can show that you are telling the truth (and so that you know you are telling the truth). I don't mean taking Jesus saying he and the Father are one and then using that to support everything you have to say on the matter based on just those words alone. If you don't have a wider understanding of scripture it's possible you're just going to end up writing things that aren't true and end up falling into error.
Jesus was on the cross, not the Father (you said "What the son experiences, the father experiences").
Matthew 27:46 (KJV)
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
John 3:16 (KJV)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
