Omnipresent doesn’t mean God is “in” all of us, or that everything is “in” him. God is not an omnipresent pudding.

“We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also....

...At that time you were without Christ, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus, you who were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ....

...So then you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole building, being put together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you are also being built together for God’s dwelling in the Spirit.” - Ephesians 2

Omnipresence or ubiquity is the property of being present everywhere. By definition, if God is omnipresent, God is in us.

This is why scripture advises us that we must go within to find God.

Luke 17:

20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Human consciousness changes frequency. It gets higher as you pray and meditate and lower as you get angry or worry.

If you are angry at someone else you are attaching yourself to them and holding yourself down. That is why it is important to resolve your differences before you worship. Forgiveness sets you free. Greed also attaches us at a lower level, just as pride does.

Just as there are many channels on one TV cable, each at its own frequency, there are many realities available to our perceptions if we cleanse our souls by following Jesus’ teachings so that we can tune to the higher levels and perceive that Jesus, like our Father exists within us.

Love God with all your..... is actually telling us to always strive to attain the highest level of consciousness possible. Read John 14 how Jesus speaks that God is within Him and if He is in us our Father that is in Him is also in us. These scriptures speak the truth.

Love your neighbor as yourself is teaching us to find and remove the obstacles to Love that exist within us and act as anchors or ballast, limiting our ability to follow commandment number one above.

The reason that Jesus told us that we too can do the things that He does is that His abilities are natural attributes of the level of consciousness at which He exists. Jesus is teaching us to join Him through communion with Him.

Our Father’s mansion has many rooms as there are many levels of reality based upon where our consciousness and soul are tuned. We are not allowed to perceive any level above our consciousness limitations. This is to protect us from misuse (harming ourselves or others) of the abilities available to anyone who reaches the higher levels.

The Tower of Babel concept applies in that at the higher levels of consciousness you hear others thoughts automatically and learn through epiphanies.(above the level of language) This is why when the Holy Spirit moves in it raises us up and we each hear in our own tongue, just as happened at Pentecost.

This is also why Peter sunk into the water when he allowed fear and doubt to enter him. It pulled him down.

The Bible is very accurate. Welcome to my reality where consciousness and the soul is a physical object. There is not one word in the New Testament that is not the truth.

Our perception of reality is a function of the level of consciousness from which we view it.

Even if you believe nothing that I say, you must believe in prayer. Pray with all your emotion from your heart and express your Love for God and see how it makes you feel lighter.
