How do you stop regression?

שו"תקטגוריה: philosophyHow do you stop regression?
שאל לפני 6 שנים

In essence, we believers stop the regression in the question of the first cause by assuming that a spiritual entity like God is not subject to causality, and that we come to Zion as a Redeemer.
The question is that we have no evidence that a spiritual essence is not subject to causality, and since this goes against logic [how could something exist without a reason that you provide], it must be assumed that it is not true.
Moreover, it cannot be said that spiritual forgetfulness is above time and therefore has no beginning and end, for we know that the soul and the angels, as well as the spirit of animals, are spiritual essences that were created at any time, and some are even completely cut off at times, so that spiritual essences also have a beginning and an end [- how does this fit with our knowledge of time?], and on this basis we assume that there is a spiritual essence that is its own cause and has existed for all time.

I do not assume this, but infer it. My assumption is that infinite regression is not an option. Therefore, there must necessarily be a first cause. But matter is unlikely to be a first cause (which is its own cause) – because in our experience, material objects are not their own cause, and therefore the first link in the chain is probably spiritual and not material. Mishal.
