Let us go back to the beginning, before the  Universe began, or alternately before the world was created, before the Cosmos arose.

There was no thing such as the Cosmos existing everywhere was non-existence. Emptiness --  infinity was unknown, space was omnipresent, because there could be no measure of either time or distance - "Relativity was Not".

Whether then by a God, or by "The ONE GOD" (if there is such a "GOD") or by some arcane as yet unknown law of physics, the Cosmos appeared in that infinite emptiness; Impossibly, That Cosmos appeared in The Omnipresent Infinity".

Being of the nature of omnipresence (seeing that there exists nothing but Cosmos) whether Cosmos came into being in a moment or over unimaginable time spans, That Cosmos fills infinite omnipresence utterly.

Time then arrived; Whether that first moment of Time was so small as to be unknowable or extended for eternity is irrelevant because upon Time's advent, all Times arrived. (Every Time possible was there) because a moment requires many moments among which to appear, else nothing could be.

So then that force of appearance which we know as Time, smacks of awareness because there can be no appearance (no recognition of a requisite) of many, for the appearance of one.

That Cosmos then was either conscious itself previous to the existence of one who became sentient, or there is a consciousness which has always been; a consciousness which existed previous to Cosmos.

As a matter of course just after the appearance of Cosmos, a conscious being appeared, else to itself the Cosmos did not appear.

Of what sort. of which genus. was the 1st? Such as that quickening of life, whether a cell that was the One and only Cell of the one and only being, or a complex  of cells (within which each individual cell reproduced, just as the 1st did) there was life born in the mirror of consciousness. In the cognitive consciousness of the "Omnipresent ONE".

Such then by refraction, by attenuation, faster than the speed of light, from that 1st seed of recognition, arose the cagnation or awareness of the existence of  light.

Cells split, mutated, became other; D.N.A became by refraction of consciousness and diverse life-forms likewise; The depths of consciousness (being rooted in the "ONE CONSCIOUSNESS") was as yet unknown to them.

Time was born by the measure of the lifespan of each such that the life-span of each (to itself) appeared a long time; No matter how short each life, to each it is a life-time.

A moment, a day, a life of two minutes, a century and the life-times of millions appearing  to us as a week; to them is a millennia or more.

Here then each being's Life, (to that being) is lived in a Universe governed by its' (The Beings) idea of Time.

After unimaginable Time-spans that original manifestation became utterly complex such that being arose within all modes of Time; There unimaginable numbers of universes arose also.

From The One Consciousness all begat their own. In each a conception of Time arose and within each of those conceptions arose greater diversity - greater complexity.

Within That First species by interaction and breeding arose difference of appearance, no other species as yet had arisen.

As the conception of Cosmos within the womb of Time progressed different probabilities fanned out; different pathways appeared; upon which diverse and distorted versions of the first began the journey to selfhood.

Each having within, "that which existed 1st as The One Consciousness" compelling each to procreate, to mate; to seek union with selfhood  in another; generating further the diversification began long ago.

Locked within egg, sort by the spermatozoa of of uncountable beings is union of consciousness and Cosmos and the birth of further pathways of Time and with those the inception of further Universes .

Now then a slice of the pie of Cosmos (of  the Cosmic pie as it were) contains/harbors innumerable tendrils of effected cause, such that it is impossible to unravel it.

Yet "The History of Being" can be known by the name of "Omnipresence" by the Prescience of each Being upon its' individual conception of Time-Passing.

So then unnumbered Beings, times uncountable rays conceived in Cosmic manifestation existing at all levels of experiential perception in Time and Consciousness, are the Omnipresent Omniscience of The non-manifest Omnipotent Consciousness of The One True Self. Here then that Cosmos is Self-Conscious-as-Itself-within-Itself.

Uncountable diverse Beings then arose and arise NOW! in the omnipresence as that; As the Prescience of that Omnipresence.

The Omnipotent One, whose Prescience exists as the Cosmos, in itself (in itself beyond being) cannot be spoken of  as "It" nor can we speak of "It" as being "In" because seeing that it is infinite it has no form to which we can refer to as "It" (as if pointing it out); likewise nor can we refer to "IN" because the infinite is boundless by its' very nature; Being boundless, being formless, neither Time nor space (and therefore existence in Cosmos) of the formless, is possible.

However being that the Consciousness of The Infinite and the Consciousness of the individual are one-and-the-same consciousness, it is entirely possible that the individual consciousness might aspire to merge with The One Consciousness (as stated in the many yogic texts) and in this, realize identity with the omnipresence. 

So then to come to an understanding of this Omnipresent Consciousness we should envision an hierarchy of Beingness in Consciousness; A consciousness that permeates all Being everywhere; beginning with the simplest, the most rudimentary life-form, manifesting through the awareness of countless individual beings within the genus of that species; existing, interacting and knowing itself as and through the awareness of innumerable species.

If we were to sum the total of those lives together we would know the Nature of the Omnipresent-Consciousness.

Consider the countless trillions upon trillions of beings such as viruses or germs, unnumbered insects and then picture the sum of the experience of all those at any given moment;

Think then of all the incredible multiplicity of creatures which move upon the earth;

Think of the impossible numbers of fishes and sea creatures and the birds, the plants, animals and last of all, all the races of Mankind, not to mention the unknowable numbers of beings exiting in, on and above dimensions of which we are unaware, then there will be an understanding of the Omnipresent Consciousness.

Yet there will not yet be the realization.

Sum all these under the heading of an Omnipresent Awareness or knowing of all things at all levels at all Times which have been which are and which shall be.

This then is Omniscience. It is Consciousness which is aware of its' own Omnipresence; It is the Omnipresent Omniscient Prescience.
