There seems to be a 'liquid' quality to the manifest presence of God. It seem to be absorbed into out entire being. Consider Moses when he decended the mountain with the stone tablets. His face was so bright with the glory (or presence) of God that the people covered his face so they could stand to be around him.
This presence compares better to oil than water. Water evaporates while this presence slowly fades like oil.
