It has to, in the sense that the concept of unity is not so much a concept as it is a housing unit for every other possible concept, which includes both concepts of a void (nothing) and a plenum (something) .
Here is my 2 cents on the paradox. Infinity is void of thought while being full of feeling. The original feeling that we all seek engages us to behave in ways that infinity could not have, in and of itself conceived of, because thought itself is non existent. Infinity must also be devoid of experience or the concept of self duplication would not have arose. Conversely, the first experience of infinity was also the conception of experience, prior to its own manifestation.
So my solution is this (which in order for us to understand must be framed within a coherent structure) The mind of the physical void had an idea, and that idea was to experience something. And that something had a substance to it.
Ra pointed to the heart of things and not the intelligence of things. The only reason (as far as I know) that Ra used scientific terms was because Don was scientifically minded. The heart of Ra is exemplified by their attitude. The greatest teacher lies not in what they have to share with the world, but rather in how they conduct themselves. That's how archetypal legends last for thousands of years, by way of their conduct.
