God cannot be aware of his own existence. If he were aware of his own existence then he would also be aware of that which is not him. In other words he would be able to differentiate himself from what he is not, and since it is impossible for God to be anything other than monistic in nature (Notice, I said monistic and not monotheistic; there is a big difference in meaning.), self-awareness must be a contradiction of him.
Mathematically speaking, I would compare it to trying to make a set that contains itself as a set--you can't do that. God is the set of all possible things. To be self-aware would be, for at least the consciousness of God, outside the set of all possible things and contain the set of all possible things at the same time. It's absurd.
