Description
The kabbalah has managed to integrate different archetypal functions in a rich and systematic symbology, particularly illustrated by the sefirot or ‘tree of life’. This incorporates an embodied approach to the God function that tries to avoid its projection, and balances the contribution of a range of human qualities.
