NIFLA BI-YOTER BS"D!!!
What does it mean that one must do teshuva so well that Hashem will testify that the sinner will never sin again? Doesn't that take away free choice? [Why are Jews so enamored with the idea of free choice? Because it's free...].
Two types of knowledge - ידיעה החלטית וידיעה שכלית - seeing clearly and intellectual knowledge of causal effects.
Is regret healthy? Maybe it is just masochism? Toxic guilt? Shouldn't pure intellect dicatate that one shouldn't repeat the sin? What does it matter what was?! What matters is what will be!!
What should one do first - regret or leaving the sin? Machlokes Rishonim!
What is the nature of time? Can we say that the past ceases to exist? How does G-d view time? Why is this philosophical question important for the teshuva process??
Does man change by the second or is a there a static permanent "I"?
Is memory just a mechanical entity that takes videos of the past with no impact on a person's consciousness?
Max Scheller, Immanuel Kant, Baruch Spinoza [שר"י] and li-havdil the Rambam!
This and more!!!
