"The Guide for the Perplexed 

was originally written sometime between 1185 and 1190 by Maimonides 

 It was first translated in 1204 into Hebrew by a contemporary of Maimonides, Samuel ibn Tibbon. 

 The work is divided into three parts. According to Maimonides, he wrote the Guide "to enlighten a religious man who has been trained to believe in the truth of our holy Law, who conscientiously fulfills his moral and religious duties, and at the same time has been successful in his philosophical studies" 


"The part begins with Maimonides' thesis of the unity, omnipresence, and incorporeality of God, 

explaining biblical anthropomorphism of divine attributes 

as homonymous or figurative.  

The first chapter explains the Genesis 1 description of Adam the first as in the "image of God", 

as referring to the intellectual perception of humankind  

rather than physical form. 

In the Bible, one can find many expressions that refer to God in human terms, for instance the "hand of God".  

Maimonides strongly opposed what he believed to be a heresy present in unlearned Jews who then assume God to be corporeal  

(or even possessing positive characteristics)."


This leads to Maimonides' notion that God cannot be described in any positive terms, but rather only in negative conceptions.  

The Jewish Encyclopedia notes his view that "As to His essence, the only way to describe it is negatively.  

For instance, He is not physical, nor bound by time, nor subject to change, etc. 

 These assertions do not involve any incorrect notions or assume any deficiency,

 while if positive essential attributes are admitted it may be assumed that other things coexisted with Him from eternity." 



"Unrestrained anthropomorphism 

and perception of positive attributes is seen as a transgression as serious as idolatry,

 because both are fundamental errors in the metaphysics of God's role in the universe, and that is 

 the most important aspect of the world."

"The Spheres are essentially pure Intelligences who receive power from the Prime Mover.  

This energy overflows from each one to the next and finally reaches earth and the physical domain.  

This concept of intelligent spheres of existence also appears in Gnostic Christianity as Aeons, having been conceived at least eight hundred years before Maimonides. "
