Decartes' matrix
And Descarte theorized that all of creation could simply be a demon controlling your mind giving you the illusion of an existance. Giving you the illusion that you are actually reading this right now. Descarte's demon theory I think inspired the Matrix to some degree.*edit to add: Nothing one can do to prove this is not the case. Congito ergo sum requires one to first acknowlege a thinker behind the thought. Can there be a thought without a thinker is a better question.

God is not seperate from His creation, God is in His creation.
Is that not what omnipresent means?

we are separated from God by our ego.
Freudian intergration of Christian dogma? I thought you just said "God is not separate from His creation.."

The ego desires to do things God would not.
Maybe the ego is Satan. Or would that be the Id??

Jesus was a egoless human being.
Pehaps he was until he was fully deified in the gospel of John.
