Welcome to chatper 3 of our "I Am Omnipresence" book reading; a practical book for Self-Revelation.
We're not here to debate theory, rather to genuinely and tangibly Know Thy TRUE Self which establishes our Infinite Nature in lived experience, revealing Heaven NOW!
You can watch the replay of this session below, but I suggest reading the article that follows THEN grabbing your journal and 'play along' to make the self-same discovery of the fact that "I Am Omnipresence".
Omnipresence Definition: What Is Omnipresence Really?
A Practical Guide to Living as the Awareness You Already Are
Most of us have heard the phrases:
“God is everywhere.”
“Consciousness is all there is.”
“Spirit is in all things.”
They sound profound, even comforting. But for most people, they remain slogans, not lived reality.
This article is about closing that gap.
We’ll explore what omnipresence really is, why it leaves no room for separation, how it dismantles our usual sense of time, and—most importantly—how to experience omnipresence directly as your own awareness, here and now.
This is not abstract theology. It’s practical. You’ll get simple, concrete exercises you can do immediately.
Our guiding question:
If omnipresence is real, how do I live from it, not just think about it?
1. What Is Omnipresence, Really?
Let’s start simple and follow the logic all the way through.
Omni means all.Presence means here.
So omnipresence means:
Present everywhere with no outside.
No gap. No edge. No “over there” where something else exists instead of it.
If omnipresence is real, then:
There is nowhere it is not
There is no second, separate reality running alongside it
There is no “me” outside it, observing it from a distance
That alone has enormous implications.
You cannot have:
Omnipresence and a truly independent world
Omnipresence and a truly separate, independent you
Omnipresence and an equal-and-opposite power (call it evil, darkness, chaos, etc.)
If that which is all is truly all, it must include everything you call “me” and “world”.
So right away we see:
Duality (me vs. God, spiritual vs. material, sacred vs. ordinary) cannot be an ultimate truth.
At most, it is a misunderstanding, a kind of dream interpretation error.
Omnipresence is either real, or it’s just a poetic word we use while secretly believing in separation. This article assumes omnipresence is actually, literally the fact of reality—and follows that through.
2. The Double-Life of Most Spiritual Seekers
Here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Most spiritual teachings try to keep both of these stories alive:
“God is everywhere. Omnipresence. Consciousness is all.”
“You are a distinct person in a real, external world, moving toward God over time.”
We learn a mental map like this:
Up there: God, Spirit, Source, Truth
Down here: me, my life, my body, the world, my problems
Between: a gap I hope to cross by practice, devotion, understanding, discipline
We then spend years, even lifetimes, trying to bridge that imagined gap.
But place that map next to the actual statement of omnipresence:
“Consciousness is all.”“God is all.”“There is only one reality.”
Both pictures cannot be literally true.
Either:
There is truly a gap and two realities (spiritual and material),
or
There is only one reality, and the sense of “over here vs. over there,” “me vs. God” is a misperception.
Omnipresence, taken seriously, dissolves the “two-world model.” Not by belief, but by clear seeing.
3. The End of “Over There”: Omnipresence and Time
Most people imagine God, Truth, or Awakening as:
Higher (I’m not there yet)
Deeper (I need to go further)
In the future (one day I’ll get there)
But look closely at what you’re saying when you think:
“I’m not there yet.”
“One day I’ll be in God’s presence.”
“Eventually I’ll be enlightened / whole / home.”
If omnipresence is real:
If God is “over there,” then He cannot be fully here.
If you can “move closer” to omnipresence, you must be further away now.
If one day you will “reach” God, then God is not fully present now.
That entire mindset silently denies omnipresence.
So we have a choice:
Either time (past–future) is more real than omnipresence,
or
Omnipresence includes and transcends time, and the idea of “getting closer over time” is part of the misinterpretation.
Let’s look directly at your experience of time:
You never actually leave now.
You “remember” yesterday as a thought-image appearing now.
You “anticipate” tomorrow as a thought-image appearing now.
Past and future are labels arising within an unbroken now.
If omnipresence is real, it must be identical with this timeless now:
The “place” that never moves
The “moment” that doesn’t begin or end
The only actuality in which any experience ever appears
Seen this way, omnipresence is not a distant realm. It is this immediate, living now-ness in which all stories of “before” and “after” come and go.
4. Direct Introduction: Omnipresence as Awareness
So far, this may still sound philosophical. Let’s bring it right down into your present-moment experience.
Where is everything you are experiencing appearing right now?
You can see the words you’re reading.
You can hear sounds in your environment.
You can feel your body—pressure, temperature, breath, tension or ease.
You can notice thoughts passing by—opinions, images, memories, planning.
All of that—sight, sound, sensation, thought—is arising:
In one open field of knowing.
You can call that field whatever you like:
Awareness
Consciousness
Presence
Life
The “space of I Am”
God
The label isn’t important. What matters is your direct recognition of it.
Practice 1: Find What Is Aware (Right Now)
Pause and notice:
What you see
What you hear
What you feel in and on the body
Any thoughts passing through
Now ask, not as a mental puzzle but as a felt question:
“What is it that is aware of all this?”
You cannot see awareness as an object. But you know something is aware:
Without it, no experience could appear.
Just rest in that simple fact: There is awareness. I am aware.
Practice 2: Look for the Edge of Awareness
Now investigate this awareness more closely:
Gently ask:
Where is this awareness?
Does it stop at the surface of your skin?
Does it end at the walls of the room?
Is there a boundary where awareness fades into “non-awareness”?
Anything you can point to:
A wall
Your body
A sensation of “in here” vs. “out there”
…is itself just another appearance in awareness.
From direct experience, not belief, you’ll find:
No felt edge.
No border you can actually locate.
Awareness is borderless. It is:
Experientially omnipresent to everything that appears.
This is the crucial turn:
You are not a small thing inside awareness. You are awareness itself—this borderless field in which all comes and goes.
This is omnipresence made personal and immediate, without any mystical theatrics.
5. The End of a Distant God
Once you begin to taste omnipresence as your own awareness, something subtle but profound happens:
The idea of a distant God begins to feel strange.
Try this inquiry:
Bring to mind your usual picture of “God” or “Truth”:
Maybe an image “above” you, “out there,” or far in the future
Maybe a mighty being separate from you
Ask honestly:
“Where is this God I imagine—other than as a thought-image in this awareness?”
Look carefully:
Can you actually locate a God outside awareness?
Or is every image, every notion, every feeling about “God” simply another appearance in the same open field?
You may discover:
What you used to call “God” or “Reality” is not a being over there. It is the very knowing-being in which your entire sense of self and world appears.
This does not make God smaller.It reveals that what you are is not smaller than you thought.
You haven’t pulled God “down” to your level.You’ve seen that your deepest “I” was never at a different level.
6. Why This Changes Everything (Practically)
If this is all true, it’s not just an interesting idea. It has practical consequences for how you live.
6.1. The End of Spiritual Strain
When you believe:
“I am over here, God is over there.”
“I need to improve myself to get closer to the Divine.”
…you live in a constant state of spiritual strain:
Measuring progress
Comparing your state to an imagined ideal
Feeling guilty, unworthy, behind
When you begin to see:
“The omnipresent awareness I’m looking for is what I actually am, right now.”
…the whole game changes.
Practice, inquiry, meditation no longer become ways to earn something later. They become tools to recognise what already is, and to unlearn mistaken identity.
6.2. The Collapse of “Not Good Enough Yet”
If omnipresence is real:
There is no closer place to it than here.
There is no better time for it than now.
That means every narrative of:
“I’m too broken.”
“I’m too busy.”
“Maybe when I’ve healed more / learned more / purified more…”
…is simply the mind imagining a distance that does not exist.
You don’t need to be “ready” for omnipresence.You are always already in it—as it.
The work is not earning; it’s recognising.
7. Practical Exercises to Live Omnipresence Daily
Here are some simple, grounded practices to help you embody this recognition in the midst of ordinary life.
Practice 3: Rename Yourself “Now”
Once or twice today, quietly say inwardly:
“My true name is now.”
Let that sink in.
The name on your passport points to a character in time.
The name “now” points to the timeless presence in which that character appears.
Use this whenever you feel:
Rushed
Anxious about the future
Regretful about the past
Silently remember:
“My name is now. Everything I need is available in this presence.”
Notice how this subtly shifts your posture from chasing to resting.
Practice 4: The Boundary Check
Several times a day, especially during stress or conflict:
Pause for 10–20 seconds.
Feel your body; notice sounds, sights, thoughts.
Gently ask:
“Where does my awareness actually end?”
Don’t look for a clever answer; look for the felt edge.
You won’t find one.
Repeatedly discovering this—in real moments of life—loosens the tight sense of “me vs. world,” and brings you back to the omnipresent field in which all experience moves.
Practice 5: The “Only Here” Reminder
When you catch yourself thinking:
“One day I’ll be more spiritual.”
“Eventually I’ll arrive where I’m meant to be.”
“I’m not there yet.”
Try this short counter-inquiry:
Ask:
“Other than as a thought appearing now, where is this future place I’m imagining?”
Notice that the only reality of that “better future” is a thought-image in this now.
Then affirm, not as a mantra but as a recognition:
“The only place I can ever meet truth, God, or my real self is here, now.”
This dismantles the illusion of spiritual distance and re-roots you in the omnipresent reality that’s actually available.
8. Integrating Omnipresence: From Idea to Unshakeable Ground
Taking omnipresence seriously means dismantling a centuries-old compromise:
Using infinite-sounding words
While secretly holding onto a two-world model: spiritual vs. human, divine vs. ordinary
The integration work is:
To notice, gently and honestly, every place in your life where you’re still accommodating that split
To see how believing in separation while longing for wholeness creates inner conflict and suffering
To return again and again to direct experience:
Borderless awareness
Timeless now
The ever-present fact of being
As this deepens:
The “problems of humanity” are seen for what they are: misperceptions built on misidentification.
Life begins to feel more like flow and less like swimming upstream.
Your “spiritual life” is no longer something separate from your “real life.” Everything is happening in and as the same omnipresent awareness.
This is what it means to live as what you really are:Not a separate self trying to reach God, but omnipresent awareness recognising itself and moving as ordinary life—emails, dishes, conversations, challenges included.
9. Where to Go from Here
You don’t need a guru to tell you what you are.
No one has a special capacity for truth that you lack. The point of every genuine teaching is the same:
To bring you to the direct recognition:“I am that I am.”
From there, practice isn’t about striving for a future enlightenment event. It’s about:
Returning to simple, immediate knowing
Questioning every assumption of separateness
Aligning how you think, feel, and act with the fact that there is only one reality, right here, as this now
Omnipresence stops being a word and becomes your unshakeable foundation—the “rock-solid grain of reality” beneath every changing circumstance.
You don’t have to make it real.You only have to see what already is.
