Separation from God would imply some sort existence outside of God. Your question also implies that you believe in God and I think it’s safe to assume in a creator God. Furthermore, you are talking about separation of a human from God, not some other random manifestation, such as a rock, because to separate from that which created “you” one would first have to have knowledge of God, of being created by God as well as the desire to separate from God. Thus, intellect is necessary and an idea of a "self".
Now for something created to exist outside of or independently of its creator would be impossible no matter how strong the desire because this would put the created beyond the creator. We must remember that God is in all things and all things are in God and the breath and Word of God is what creates.
It may appear to your senses that this separation is possible and one could argue that a painting exists separate of the artist whom painted it, but the painting only truly ever existed in the mind of the artist as an idea. The manifestation of the painting is merely an expression of the true idea within the artist, the painting can be imitated, duplicated, hidden or forgotten and replaced or destroyed or it can be admired and treasured or even idolized, but the true idea within the artist cannot be touched or separated or destroyed; that which the manifestation was meant to express. Humans are meant to manifest the idea of God and we can use this bodily life to express and honor the idea or we can idolize the creation; that which can be imitated, duplicated, hidden or forgotten and replaced or destroyed. This idolizing of created and not of creator is the fuel of the ego, it gives it life within each of us. We must rise above that, this what is meant by great sacrifice and discipline and why all religions demand such. Discipline of the body as to not turn to desire and self gratification and the sacrifice of the idea of “I”, of the ego. This is the beginning of Religion, of Occult, of Truth.
The only "separation" from God is to turn away from God, embrace the ego (body) and cultivate its desires. Just remember you know the end of your body, a return to the Earth, so beware or follow it to the dust. Turn towards that which is higher, this is the path.
