That's a good interpretation. I often think of it as the "Pythagorean zero"; As a reality that includes all possibilities. That is, if you add up all numbers, positive ones, negative ones, rational, and non rational ones, complex and vectors, the net result will be "zero". But obviously, this result isn't emptiness (nothingness), as it includes all existing numbers. But, to be honest, the quantum theory of a "wave function" for the whole universe also comes very close to it. Shalom
@ImSchnitzer yes, this concreteness is good for us to practice love, because anyone can believe in abstract God, but in Person with concrete wishes, values is kind of hard thing. In same way the friendship with other fellow human is challenging us to defeat our ego! Something like this :-).
Oh ok I see, sounds like a concept of God as nonphysical in nature yet omnipresent. Maybe (In every point active?) would be a clearer word for it. Thanks for the info.
Actually the term is quite common in Rabbinical literature. it is explained in Gen. R. LXIII. 9, which is an early medieval commentary (6-9 Century C.E.) in which the rabbis postulated the idea that "the Holy One, blessed be He, is the place of His universe, but His universe is not His place", i.e. He encompasses space, but space doesn't encompass Him. Don't be surprised by this type of ideas, in the Jewish world, the ideas tend to be “really big”. Shalom.
GREAT considerations, I almost regret my earlier flippancy.
Thanks

I agree, but I think that anthropomorphic personification is our fellow human beings. i.e., I love God, when I love my fellow human being. Shalom
