Real meaning of God is said to be ‘omnipresent’
The unimaginable God exists everywhere through His unimaginable power

God is said to be omnipresent. It means, God exists everywhere in the space. By this, you should not think that God pervades the entire space and hence God exists everywhere. This logic applies to the imaginable objects. If you say that the air is everywhere in the room, it means that the air is pervading all over the room. Both air and room are imaginable objects with spatial dimensions. The molecules of air occupy some little space and this is the real volume of the air. Under high pressure, such real volume can be measured. Therefore, air has spatial dimensions.

In ordinary conditions, the molecules move freely in the room and the space of the room is available for the free movement of the molecules. Hence, the air is said to have the volume of room or container, which is the space available for the free movement of the molecules in this context. When you say that the light pervaded all over the space of the room, the light energy has waves having certain wave length. Length is a dimension of the space. Thus, all conclusions are based on the items having spatial dimensions. The logic derived based on such conclusions cannot be applied to God having no spatial dimensions.

The world is imaginable item having spatial dimensions. But, God pervading the world has no spatial dimensions. Therefore, you cannot say that God pervades all over the world like the air or light in the room and hence God exists everywhere. You should say that God is present everywhere because He is beyond space. The unimaginable God exists everywhere through His unimaginable power. You should be very careful in understanding the meaning of the word ‘omnipresent’ in the case of God.

Interesting?

If I may give a suggestion...

Leave out all the unimaginable business...

I'm having a hard time imagining the unimaginable.
(That could be a personal problem)

If you want to beat somebody, call him as dog and then beat him. Even though he is not a dog; you have confirmed him as a dog for all practical purposes, in order to beat him. Similarly, you want to capture Brahman or God, who is unimaginable and cannot be captured even by intensive process of imagination. Therefore, you name some imaginable item as Brahman, capture it and then claim that you have captured God. Whatever you named or subsequently captured is not the actual absolute God. You have captured some subtle part of the creation itself, and claim that you have captured Brahman, which is beyond Creation.

I will give a small illustration. One day yourself and your friends jumped for a long time and failed to touch the roof of your house. Therefore, all of you named the roof as unattainable, since it is untouchable by hand. For some years, you have practiced the high jump and could touch the roof by your hand. Now you declare that you have attained the unattainable. Actually the roof is not really and permanently unattainable item. The real and permanently unattainable item is the sky, which cannot be touched by you even through millions of births. Similarly, Brahman or God who is the Creator of this Universe is really and permanently unattainable, since He cannot be imagined even by the sharpest intelligence.

The reason for this is that God, the Creator, is beyond spatial dimensions, because He was the creator of this space. The Creator exists before the Creation of this space. This means that God existed even in the absence of the space before its creation. You can never imagine the absence of space, because you and your intelligence cannot go beyond space by continuous efforts even for millions of lives. Even the minutest, you imagine, must have minutest spatial dimensions. It can never imagine anything without dimensions. Therefore, when you say that you have captured or imagined something, it must be a part of the creation only.

It might have not been captured till today due to lack of scientific analysis and sophisticated technical instruments and it does not mean that it is really unimaginable. It remained unimaginable for a period of time due to lack of equipment, just like the roof of your house remained untouchable for some time due to lack of practice in high jump. By touching the roof, you should not claim that you have touched the sky. By capturing the universal consciousness, you should not shout that you have captured God. Just like the roof is not the sky, the Universal Consciousness is not God.
