According to Jewish mysticism, these 36 hidden and righteous individuals keep humanity alive through acts of sublime kindness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePsychologist and professor Edward Hoffman explores this fascinating mythos from its Talmudic origins through the Kabbalah, early Hasidism, and recent appearance in the contemporary world. He examines the esoteric meaning of the number 36 (literally lamed=30, vav=6) in Kabbalistic lore as well as the Elijah archetype and its importance in the work of Carl Jung and his protégé Erich Neumann.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHoffman develops the notion of Lamed Vav consciousness—a powerful, inborn force for kindness that exists within each of us. He provides guided visualisations to call forth our Lamed Vav consciousness by drawing on themes from sacred texts like the Zohar and Jewish folklore, such as Miriam’s Well, Solomon’s Ring, and the Tree of Life. He also shares self-reflection exercises to help us recognise hidden Lamed Vav figures in our daily life and to become a Lamed Vav to others by boosting our compassion, empathy, simplicity, playfulness, reverence for nature, and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47344329064684,"sku":"9798888502570","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7179433488913.jpg?v=1772255427","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/lamed-vav-and-the-power-of-mystical-kindness-by-edward-hoffman-9798888502570","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
