The Miracle of Love: Part Two: Marc Gafni

posted by Gafni assistant

The mystical tradition tells us that even before the creation of the world, God ‘created’ miracle of splitting the Red Sea. All miracles are built into nature.
God — before the creation of the world- went to the as of yet unformed waters of the sea and showed them a glimpse of the great nation which would one day, down the line of history, come to the Red Sea shores. “When you see these people,” God instructs the waters, “open wide and split yourselves for them.”

And so it was. Biblical Myth describes that awesome day came when the Hebrews were taken out of Egypt by God’s strong arm and led to the shores of the Red Sea. And there they stood, with the waters lapping at their beleaguered feet and the whole host of the Egyptian armies approaching at their tail. The people stood there, waiting for a miracle. But — nothing. Nothing stirred. The laws of nature remained unchanged. You see, the Red Sea looked up at the host of people at their shore, hoping, hoping that these would be the Hebrews they had glimpsed that mighty day before creation. But here all they saw was a teeming mass of bedraggled slaves. These were surely not that same multitude of luminous colossal souls for which the sea had been waiting for millennia.

These people were filthy, petty, miserable. And yet, the waters continued to stare, until slowly, slowly the waters recognized, beneath the layers of dirt and despair, beneath the hundred years of slavery, that there was a glimmer, a glimpse, a sparkle, a shimmer of the great souls shown to them before time was born. And finally recognizing their beloveds’ faces, the waters leapt in an instant to open, to stretch beyond the laws of physics, to fulfill the purpose for which they were made. And as was destined to be before creation, the host of Hebrews passed straight through those great aquamarine marble gates.
