And even in matters related to the foundations of the wisdom of truth (regarding the honor of the Creator), I have stated that one can attain the truth through his own knowledge. And concerning the teachings of the Zohar, despite the disagreement of the Ramban and other holy scholars who found the words of the Zohar concealed from them, as I have already published and declared openly in the presence of the public (see Yayin BeSulam, ladder 11:2).

However, with regards to the author of the book Moreh Nevuchim (Guide for the Perplexed), I could not bring myself to show favoritism towards him. Specifically, regarding his statements about the miracles in the Torah and the Prophets, and his incorporation of external philosophies in discussing human matters, which were not hewn from the true source of Israel. Fear seized me, and my whole being trembled. Therefore, I hurriedly declared that anyone who reads the name of the Rambam (Maimonides) on the book Moreh Nevuchim is a liar, as he is not the great author of the authoritative book, as I have revealed my opinion in the ascent of the matter.
