Literary notes about omnipresent (AI summary)
Authors deploy "omnipresent" to evoke an all-encompassing force that touches every dimension of life, whether divine, natural, or societal. In spiritual and metaphysical texts the term underscores a deity or soul that pervades the universe, as in depictions of an ever-active, all-hearing divinity ([1], [2], [3]). At the same time, writers also use the word to capture ubiquitous human conditions and forces—from the pervasive influence of nature and life itself ([4]) to the inescapable pressures of modern existence ([5], [6]). In each instance, "omnipresent" enriches the narrative, imbuing both sacred and secular realms with an enduring, pervasive quality.
