What does the Hitchhikers Guide say? It is "mostly accurate" after all.

I believe we clearly see two distinct "selves" with regards to the incarnation. One being the Father and the other being the man Jesus Christ, the Son.

However, the Holy Spirit is a bit more complex. Not sure if God has a distinct self with regards to the Holy Spirit. Still studying I guess.

It is pretty clear that Jesus the Man had a distinct personality and "awareness" from God the Father, but the question is, did that distinction continue past His resurrection?

I'm inclined to believe so as well.

In Rev. 2:18 Jesus refers to Himself as the Son of God.

3:5 speaks of His Father.
v. 12 -His God.
v. 21 -His Father.

The epistles are full of distinctions.
