40. Stereo Miracles

There are two types of miracles: Those beyond nature and those clothed within it. The water of the Nile turning into blood was beyond nature. The victory of the Maccabees over the Greek army came dressed as a natural occurence —they had to fight to win.

Both types of miracles are necessary.

If we would only see miracles beyond nature, we would know that G-d can do whatever He likes --but we might think He must break the rules to do so. We would know a G-d who is beyond nature, but not within it.

If we would see only miracles that are clothed within nature, we would know a G-d that is Master of all that happens within nature.
But we might think He is limited within it.

Now we know a G–d that is at once both beyond all things and within them. In truth, there is nothing else but Him.
