	Background, Life, Work: Chapter 1 of Byzantine Gospel - Maximus the Confessor in Modern Scholarship by Fr Aidan Nichols
		Maximus came to regard his exile as a permanent state of affairs - though this is it was not to be, thanks to his developing rOle in the empire-wide dispute about both Monothelitism and Monoenergism which henceforth constituted the sole axis of his literary work.
		The title 'confessor', which he acquired soon thereafter and which is forever attached to his name, was a tribute to his steadfastness in confessing the faith of the undivided Church in the undivided hypostasis and the distinct natures of the person of the incarnate Son of God.
		Maximus' principal aim was to confute the Origenist notion of the henas ton logikôn, or aboriginal unity of all minds, in which he divined the root fault of the Origenist system.

	Edward Moore, ‘The Golden Road To Unlimited Devotion’: The Christian Neo-Platonism of St. Maximus Confessor
		Maximus’ metaphysic is not intrinsically emanationist, for it does not imply an essentialism of pre-existent souls, in communion with divine being, that would eventually fall from their state of perfection and thereby bring into existence the material cosmos (as was the case with Origen and Origenism).
		The highest contemplation, for Maximus, which is also understood as the highest state of being, is qualitatively akin to, if not identical with, the idea of the salvific state expressed by Iamblichus: absorption into the godhead.
		Maximus understands salvation in a cosmic manner, i.e., as healing the nature of humanity in the abstract and returning that nature to its originally intended function as a more or less transparent image of the glory of God.

		Is this not sufficient to reveal their spirit, and how that it was not in quest of the Truth (which having in their hands, they betrayed) that they came together with the Latins, but from a desire to enrich themselves and to conclude not a true, but a false union.
		Maximus: Asceticism, and the toils that go with it, was devised simply in order to ward off deception, which established itself through sensory perception.
