The 'miracle' of repetition - God commanding the Sun every day...'to Rise'.

 
Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged.

They always say,“Do it again”a nd the grown-up person does it again until he is exhausted with repetition.

Perhaps it is only 'God' who is strong enough to exult in monotony. Indeed is it not possible that God says every morning to the Sun,“Do it again, rise!'

The author Chesterton  provides a clue here to that strange  Aztec ritual of offering human sacrifices so that the sun will rise again the next day. As Slavo Zizek asks is this not  attitude of perceiving repetition not as a blind automatism,but as a miracle of the highest order.
