[DC] Are the New Gods in each universe aware that they’re just a “lesser” piece of their real version?

As I understand it, new gods “refract” through the multiverse like light does through a crystal. Their versions in each singular universe are just different wavelengths of their real, multiversal selves that exist in the sphere of the gods.

So, are the versions in these universes aware that they’re not actually the real thing? Do they share a consciousness on any level? Or are they just limited to their histories in their own universes?

So, basically, they're aware they're technically connected, but they're functionally independent. Like how your body is technically trillions of cells rather then one organism. There *are* situations where that distinction is relevant...but they're rare. Typically, outside of a doctor's office, you can treat everyone around you as one being.

Same here, just in reverse. Just like you are all intents and purposes one creature, the guy shooting an omega sanction at you is to all intents and purposes the real Darksied. The New Gods are *aware* of the technicalities of that statement. but they can typically ignore them. Each New God is functionally a separate being and continue to think of themselves as one except when the theoretical details of their existence become relevant.
