Wikipedia
immanent
The doctrine or theory of immanence holds that the divine encompasses or is manifested in the material world. It is held by some philosophical and metaphysical theories of divine presence. Immanence is usually applied in monotheistic, pantheistic, pandeistic, or panentheistic faiths to suggest that the spiritual world permeates the mundane. It is often contrasted with theories of transcendence, in which the divine is seen to be outside the material world.

immanent
Immanent refers to something being inherent, intrinsic or naturally present within something else, particularly in a philosophical or spiritual context. It can describe a quality or power, which is perceived as residing within, permanently pervading or being inseparable from an entity or principle. This often contrasts with "transcendent," which describes something that exists beyond or outside of the normal range of experience or comprehension.
