I cannot recall any indication that the Purpose is everywhere. The Guided may believe that it is, but even that is yet uncertain. In real life, the belief that God is everywhere is a very modern conception. According to Jewish tradition, God stands apart from the universe, and only rarely does he enter it; when he does come to earth--as during the plagues of Exodus, when he enters Egypt to slay the firstborn personally--it is a momentous occasion. In the sixteenth century, the miller Menocchio was executed by the Catholic Church as a heresiarch for propounding the theory that God existed coterminously with the universe. (His interesting story is recounted in Carlo Ginzburg's book, The Cheese and the Worms.) So I would caution against ascribing a belief that the Purpose is everywhere to anyone wandering The Way.
Moreover, even if that belief is held by some or many people, that does not make it correct. Traziun, who seems to be one of the most knowledgeable characters in the game, states that the Purpose is not what most people believe in any case. Although his view cannot be taken as authoritative, it does indicate that there are strongly divergent opinions about the nature of the Purpose itself.
