In quantum physics this nothingness with potential is called "enfolded reality." Enfolded with an "e" is the potential of everything, while unfolded with a "u" is the potential manifested.So, there is an unfolding of the whole of creation from the enfolded state of potential.The famous Physicist, David Bohm, saw life as an undivided wholeness enfolded into an infinite background source that unfolds into the visible, material, and temporal world of our everyday lives. He said that thought can grasp the unfolded, but only something beyond thought, like intuition, unmediated insight, or intelligence, can experience the enfolded.
