For a deity to possess the necessary ability to govern the universe, it would seem to be a prerequisite to be omniscient and, as a consequence of that, omnipresent, in order that all things can be observed. I would propose that for a deity to be omniscient and omnipresent, the divine would also have to be everything, as, in order to be omnipresent, the "deity" would also have to be inside and outside of everything existing in the universe. As a result, we are left with no real way of knowing the intent of a trans-dimensional entity with whom we share reality, except from observed phenomena within our conceptions of space and time, which may correlate in some unknown manner to another plane of existence or another dimension. It would stand to reason that if the universe was initiated in some unknown manner, but from a common source, then everything has a common origin in that initial explosion of such magnitude that it somehow marked the beginning of time as well as the dispersion of matter and space. This notion of interconnectedness would correlate with the idea that all things are actually a part of something omnipresent that may or may not also exist outside of our limited ability to perceive.
