My belief about God, as per what I have observed in the world of His characteristics, is that He is a part of all things, and the universe is in turn a part of Him.And you know this how? I know you're advertising beliefs in the god concept but you've banged on several threads with the notion of replacing the label 'universe' with 'god', hey that's fine, can't see what's wrong with simply addressing it as the universe, heck call it "Perrywinkle" if it pleases you, but you're here claiming the universe is actually a living god, and its the Christian God no less (Surprise Surprise).
Watson we can't even observe through current technology what star clusters may lie on the other side of the galactic center of our own Milky Way galaxy, the same one that we live in, it's obscured from our view. We can't detect them.
If there are trivial things such as these beyond mankind's knowledge, then how did you arrive at the hypothesis that the entire Universe is *alive* considering it displays no characteristics that distinguishes it as having any self-sustaining biological processes, indeed the vast void of space is hostile to life. It's a huge leap. The universe demonstrates no attributes of a vastly complex higher life-form, like a deity, let alone this magic man who hides himself in the clouds (aka heavens, not universe).
