It is God that defines reality, and reality only exists because of God.

I just had a chicken sandwich for lunch. A chicken sandwich is part of the universe. That means I just ate a small piece of “god” for lunch. The word “god” loses all meaning.
No, it's not pantheism. The universe was created by God and is not God.
Just because something is not God, does not mean that God is not present in any given place.
What omnipresence means is that there cannot be a place in which we can say God isn't.
I take it to its literal extreme, meaning there's nowhere in space or time God isn't, from the micro to the macro. That being the case that excludes the possibility of something existing that is not God. Kinda like all waves are Water and Water alone through and through and nothing else.
Divinity is in the chicken sandwich, but chicken sandwich is not Divinity. Important distinction.
The Water/wave analogy states the same. A wave is nothing but Water, through and through. Water is not a wave. Same for Clay & pot and Gold and ornament.

That's a non-dial perspective.
but divinity is also more than and beyond and outside of space, time, form, and universes.
divinity is more than universes.
