Okay. So what is "Over and above" a natural OR the nature of a thing, then?

Cheers.

Not at work.

I've explained this. I think you're not paying attention.

Things are the way they are. They are and do the things they can be and do.

It is not in the nature of the human mind to see the future. If you saw the future, this would be supernatural. 

Or you might discover that in fact it is in the nature of the mind to see the future, but this was previously hidden (occult). Then it would not be supernatural.
