Kabbalah
can be considered as an early form of a Jewish Psychology. It divides the Self
in four parts: Consciousness, Intellect, Primary Emotions and Secondary
Emotions. In addition, Kabbalah recognizes ability of the Self to Create and Materialize.
That process of creation is divided in four phases (or Worlds): Emanation,
Creativity, Formation and Action or Event. Both principles are further subdivided
in ten (actually twelve) attributes or Sephirots.
Here is comparison to my Self-Concept:
