Theologians love to complicate things. Take the concepts “omniscience” and “omnipresence.” Omniscience is the idea that God knows everything; omnipresence means that God is everywhere. As a child, these ideas mystified me. In a way, it just made God seem more distant, more remote. But if you consider that you are omnipresent and omniscient in your body, it’s suddenly not so hard to understand what these two terms actually mean. For instance, my foot is distant from my brain, but if it hurts or gets cold, it occupies my entire awareness. Or, if your partner is upset with you, it doesn’t matter where on the globe they might be – they might as well be in the same room with you, the feeling is the same. So these two five-dollar words, omniscience and omnipresence, are really just saying that we live in a great being. We are, in fact, part of that great being. The more we identify with It and not our separate self, the more we know and feel what It knows and feels. This is the mystery that these two theological words conceal.
