Nitzavim: confronting the self

The parsha contains the phrase:

28 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God; but the things that are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. {S}  The parsha makes me confront the difference between hidden and the revealed and the obvious;  the knowable and the  the unknowable, the unexamined and  the explored .  The revealed things, the public things, require a code of behavior, require that I and others act in a predictable manner.The secret things  are between a person and Gd, or left to Gd alone.  How could it be otherwise? What are these secret things? Some are knowledge that is not yet acquired.  Knowledge that we do not (yet) have ways to know, missing techniques. Ideas that are not yet elucidated by science. Some secret things may be unknowable ( Heisenberg uncertainty), knowledge may not apply to them . Gd knows! Some are truths that we are trying to hide. The money ,or the feelings, that we are trying to hide from others.  The feelings that we are trying to hide from ourselves. Some of the secrets are ideas  that we don't want to examine.  Gd decides on their state of revelation. We are often forced to look at these secrets by circumstances.  The pasuk says that these are ours, perhaps not Gd's. Perhaps these are the secrets that kill us ( thus the words "us and our children" have dots over them.  The dots typically mean "should be erased") The final advice of the parsha: Choose life.  Lechaim.
