An example of existence is our nose.
Another example of existence is the computer monitor screen we are looking at to read this post.
There's too much fail here for you. First of all, God does not meet your definition of existence, and yet you declare as a theist.
Second, my monitor is NOT an object of your living awareness. You assume both that I exist and my monitor, but what ACTUALLY exists for you by your definition is just some text on your own screen.
So really, your definition of awareness is either inaccurate or a lie. The real definition is: "That exists which Mariosep believes exists." This is a particularly poor definition of existence, especially for non-Marioseps.

The eventual point is that things exist as experiences, Mario says he experiences the divine, and so God is real.
. . . and also that I've actually had sex with Tomb-raider era Angelina Jolie, since I've experienced imagining that many times.
