It may seem obvious that God is omnipresent; many of us are taught that as children. However, this is a concept that occupies a central place in Judaism, and all of Kaballistic study is geared towards bringing a person to a deeper understanding of this fundamental point, and to enable his soul to perceive the Light of Creation.
When Mashiach comes everyone will be aware that God is Omnipresent, it will be patently obvious, unlike nowadays when things appear to contradict this. Achieving this awareness is the greatest pleasure a human can have. Even though it is impossible to fully achieve this level of understanding today, through the study of the secrets of the Torah we have the ability to slowly begin to approach it. As our cognizance of God rises, our ability to see His light increases.
The first step is to gain an appreciation of the fact of His Omnipresence, the next is to comprehend that He gives life, existence really, too all of Creation

You have a great blog. I do not think the first step is to realize Hashem's ominpresence, this we are taught as kids. I think it is to start to be aware of our own thoughts and actions and to be able to observe ourselves objectively. In this process of detachment, I feel we go above our nefesh, we start seeing things more objectively and then we start to see "the light."
