Revised Edition
A Synthesis
The psyche and its place and purpose in the Universe are the subject of this book which uses both kabbalistic and modern psychological models to position humanity in the Divine scheme. In the process of incarnation, the issue of consciousness is crucial as the person develops through the stages of ego and individuation towards awareness of the collective level. Fate, destiny and spiritual evolution are explored, leading to the Path of Inner Ascent to the Divine Realm. Many new pictures and diagrams in this revised edition add to a deeper understanding of the psyche.

Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi is the Hebrew name of Warren Kenton. He was born in 1933 into a Sefardi Jewish Levite family in England. He was educated at St Martin's School of Art and the Royal Academy, where he was taught to see beyond the obvious. This acquired awareness led him to study the esoteric and Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition. Out of this came visits to its ancient and medieval spiritual centres in Europe, North Africa and Israel. Since 1970 he has taught groups all over the world, founded the international Kabbalah Society and written fifteen books that are now in fifteen languages, including Russian, Japanese and Hebrew. He has fraternal connections with other spiritual traditions and is a Fellow of the Temenos Academy in London where he lives and works.
‘This is an excellent summary of, and an important contribution to, the modern discourse between depth psychology and religious tradition in general.’ –Julienne McLean - Consulting Psychologist, Jungian Analyst and Author of Towards Mystical Union
