For truth itself cannot have intercourse with everyone, since there are some people dominated by their animal soul, while others are dominated by their vegetative soul, and only a few have a cogitative soul. Only a man who is exclusively dominated by his cogitative soul can be chosen by God as His envoy. God cannot be known or grasped by human thought. He is exempt from change or alteration since He has no form which might turn from one state to another. We can only say that God is the Creator, but we must not think that we can conceive His attributes.   Excerpted from Das Buch ueber die Elemente, by Salomon Fried The Cambridge Companion to Medieval Jewish Philosophy, by Daniel H.
