A visionary commentary on Maimonides' Guide for the Perplexed, composed by Abraham Abulafia, one of the most original and daring minds in the history of Jewish mysticism. Building on rational foundations, Abulafia reveals a path that transcends intellect - an inner discipline rooted in the contemplation of the Hebrew letters and the Divine Names.
This work stands alongside Sitrei Torah in his mystical corpus, but focuses more sharply on the dynamic relationship between prophetic philosophy and linguistic mysticism. Abulafia presents the Names of God not as abstract theology, but as practical tools for spiritual ascent. He offers a guide for the serious seeker: a structured progression that leads from study to meditative practice, from practice to vision, and from vision to mastery. At its heart, this is a book about transformation - where language becomes a ladder, and the soul learns to climb.
