Tikkun Olam: Repairing the World
by Jonathan McGregor Bethel
When we walk through the world and look around ourselves, we see turmoil surrounding us in many guises: disease, starvation, poverty, illiteracy, and so many others. Like the Buddha upon learning of sickness, old age, and death, we each hold the desire to rid the world of these travesties. Is there any one act above all others that will help bring aid and relief to this seemingly unending suffering? The kabbalistic mystics of the past utilized a philosophy of rectifying the world to its intended glory, bringing aid and relief to this state of disarray and inadequacy; they called this notion "Tikkun Olam," literally meaning "repairing the world."
Some may ask why the world must be repaired when it is made of the archetypal perfection of god. This is an age old dilemma that has captured the minds of many people who have contemplated its facets, for it is obvious to any thinking individual that although that world contains many beautiful and divine creations, it also contains many instances and things that are grotesque and inharmonious, like death, violence, hatred and disease. It is to this aspect of creation that Tikkun Olam is addressed.
Kabbalists believe that before the present configuration of the sephiroth and the tree of life, the primal processes of creation created a scheme whereby the light of Ain Soph, God, poured forth and was contained in consecutive vessels of creation, the sephiroth as they were before. However, an instability occurred, and the vessels shattered, light spilling out and the lower dimensions being created. The shards of the broken vessels became matter and the physical cosmos, and the light also became locked in the dimension of the dark tree of life as evil intelligences, the qlippoth. These are truly demonic minds beyond our worst nightmares and are the source of our negative behavior and the evils of this world. Tikkun Olam seeks to rectify this situation and lift this physical plane to the heights and archetypal synergy it was intended to know, thereby repairing the world and ending an ancient and ongoing torment.
Tikkun Olam is performed through an action that even a child can perform, simple acts of kindness. It can also be performed by true Agape, spiritual love, and sharing with the world knowledge that will aid in its' rectification, or it may come through an individual performing the required preliminary steps in resolving any conflict that may have presented itself. These intentional causal acts will have many effects that bring peace, wellbeing, gratitude, health, prosperity, and all of the things that this world so desperately needs.
Those well acquainted with the metaphysical scene know all about the concept of a light-worker. These bearers of the light seek to bring harmony and divine sustenance wherever they may wander, and they seek to rectify any wrongdoing as they travel; these are Tikkun Olam specialists by another name. They spread the essence of love and wellbeing, the qualities that this universe was intended to display.
And that brings up a very interesting question: Are we repairing a broken universe, or have we been and are we groping our way toward perfection, working out the kinks as we go? Does the fact that the universe intends archetypal perfection mean that is broken and missed the mark, or as many kabbalists presume, are we moving toward a perfected state that has never yet existed?
You may have read in my previous articles how I am very much a manifestation enthusiast, in that I believe that mind is creative and affects our physical cosmos. I realize I just lost all credibility with anyone with a scientific bent. But in actuality, science is bearing out the fact there is a relationship between our mind and the physical cosmos. At any rate, mind is very creative, and it is crucial at this juncture in time that we set up the right causes. As systems theory and complexity dynamics have surmised, in late 2012 humanity reaches a bifurcation point in its evolutionary trek. It either goes the way of self-destruction and decimation or self-liberation and enlightenment. What will it be, folks? We hold immense power in determining the course of events; we need to step up to the plate and hit a home run.
Never before has so much been riding on our collective actions and intentions. What will we do? Can you feel it? Can you feel the mystery of it all bearing down on us? It's spring 2007, and that target date is bearing down on us and is not far off, 12-21-2012, what will we do? Utilizing the principles of Tikkun Olam in such tumultuous times is the only sane thing to do, and it is the right thing to do! Blessings to all!

Since the turn of the Millennium, it has become grossly apparent that higher awareness is unfolding among mankind, and we are becoming cognizant of an innate power that shapes the experiences we encounter. In fact, it is safe to say that many have transcended beyond a mere awareness of this power, and they are fast becoming master reality creators. This realization comes at the heels of a movement propelled by the world wide web and other advanced forms of media, specifically “Spiritual Cinema” with productions like “The Secret” and “What the Bleep Do We Know.” “The Secret” is especially conducive for an awakening of this gnosis; it seems to resonate profoundly, as if some divine key within man is awakening an inner knowing.
The Law of Attraction works by the notion that what we give thought to is “attracted” to us and begins to manifest in the material universe. The more passionate we feel when thinking those thoughts then the more we are actualizing them in the physical world. Therefore, our thoughts in moments of utter annoyance, absolute despair, or complete exhilaration all have a major impact on what we pull into our experience. How we feel on a momentary basis in conjunction with the thoughts we are having determines what gravitates into reality. Therefore, it becomes obvious why it is crucial to keep a positive mental attitude, thereby attracting the things most desired and avoiding what we most dislike. People are using this Law in a very successful way, and with specific techniques they are becoming effective creators and manifesting some astonishing feats.
Is there any evidence supporting this outlandish supposition? There is no specific evidence which demonstrates this Law; however, Quantum Physicists do know that the observer's mind is what determines the actualities that present themselves in quantum states. The observer “Collapses the Waveform” of the quantum states involved, locking reality into what is perceived in the mind, and or, attracting one possibility from an ocean of possibilities to that set point of attraction. As chaos theory espouses, an “attractor point” pulls the whole system unto itself, giving shape to what would otherwise appear as pure randomness and drawing the system into a specific occurrence. In addition to what quantum physicists have determined about mind and reality, Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab has conducted a study stipulating that there is a small but quantifiable link between human thought and patterns that are found to occur in random data sets. Additionally, the studies done by Global Consciousness Project with Random Number Generators exemplifies that our mind and matter are connected. This is by no means definitive evidence of this “Law”, but if one examines the above and observes the renaissance of awareness currently taking place, one sees that this very “Law” does seem to be describing a real process and is attracting unto itself greater awareness.
“The Law of Attraction” has been utilized under different guises throughout the ages in various esoteric schools of thought, notably, claims by alchemists that matter is in fact transmutable, and it is the aim of all Magick. According to the famous occultist Aleister Crowley, magick is The Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will.” This is precisely what “The Law Of Attraction” is all about, causing the material universe to offer up your desires in real time events. In fact, Crowley believed every intentional act is a magickal act. Donald Tyson says this of magick: “Magick is the art of affecting the manifest through the Unmanifest. The manifest is all that can be seen, touched, perceived, manipulated, imagined, or understood. The Unmanifest is none of these things. It is the place, or rather the non-place, from which everything issues. All that comes into being comes from the Unmanifest. All that passes away goes back to the Unmanifest.”
This awareness is the key to shaping the 2012 outcome, and we would be severely amiss not to utilize it to our advantage. Press surrounding the “End of Times” in 2012, and how that may or may not unfold, contributes to a collective visualized “Attractor Point” thus pulling that frame of reality towards itself. It is vital that we project upon it a reality that serves life and higher awareness. In doing so, we will create a synergistic and beneficial unfolding that promotes well being within our shared reality. Despite whether or not there is a bifurcation in 2012, the Law of Attraction should be utilized for achieving the highest possible good for mankind as we traverse the landscape of time before us.

Everyone has heard the cliché phrase, “you create your own reality,” but has anyone ever stopped to contemplate just how that process might work and how it could be true? Sure, if we focus on something about ourselves long enough, we tend to harmonize with it and start imitating it in our lives, thereby becoming that thing. But in addition to that, I believe our subconscious mind is actually changing reality to our subconscious desires and aversions; our mind is syncing with quantum events and transforming the apparent random universe to our innate wishes and fears, thereby crystallizing reality into what is occurring within our own brain and subconscious mind.
The scientific school of reductionism has stipulated for years that there is no scientific proof mind and matter are connected. Nevertheless, researchers have now witnessed this connection through experiment, and it can now be proven utilizing the scientific method that there is indeed a connection! It is obvious from various studies done within the last several decades that our minds have the ability to shape matter and reality. This ability to influence does not only occur in our present time, but research has also shown that our minds can even effects events from the past as well. I call this retroactive magick! That is really what we are talking about here, a true magickal connection with reality. However, the magick of the past will become the science of the future, as we learn more and more about this process. Only recently has science begun to see and experiment with this relationship, and it is now beginning to see there is sync between mental states and events, especially in regards to global mind and planetary occurrences.
Quantum physicists have known since the middle of last century that an experiment is wholly determined by the mind of the experimenter. They contend that a quantum event is permanently determined, “collapsing the waveform,” when a perceiver's mind has witnessed the actual quantum occurrence. “Collapsing the waveform” made physicists speculate and joke that the universe was not really manifest when not being perceived, like a huge swirl of nothingness occurring just out of sight; it was only crystallized into reality upon perception. Our minds appear to be the one force that distinguishes deterministic states from indeterminism and pure randomness.
This process of manifestation is not that difficult to perform once you understand the techniques needed to accomplish it. For instance, the process of creative visualization creates a holographic representation and imprint upon the ethers of space-time, also know as the “quantum vacuum” and the “Akashic field.” It consequently creates what chaos theorists call an “attractor point,” which then pulls the current frame of reality and space-time towards it. Reality transforms and changes into this holographic “attractor point,” as the random and chaotic system we call the universe flows into it. Consequently, this is why it is so important to keep goals out in front of you, for without a goal or “attractor point,” we aimlessly wander without any direction. However with goals, the system we call our life has an “attractor point” to move towards. It must be noted, this same process is what accounts for the horrible things that happen in our life, for we tend to manifest our most wonderful desires and our darkest fears.
This merging of mind and matter is why rumor can be so dangerous, because it “collapses the waveform” and crystallizes a perspective of someone or something, thereby locking an individual or a group into false and inauthentic viewpoints within the mind of the perceivers. This is also how untrue gossip spreads so easily; it “collapses the waveform” and creates and crystallizes a new morphic field of untrue information about the subject of the gossip. This new morphic field then colors the perspectives of future people that become part of the gossip pool.
The occurrence of synchronicity is a perfect instance of mind syncing with matter. This is a meaningful coincidence whereby the contents of our mind seem to bleed into the world around us. If the contents of our head determine the unfolding of physical consequences, then it behooves us all to fill our mind and being with positive and beneficent thoughts and energies, so as to manifest a harmonious and conducive environment for ourselves and those around us.
The real secret behind the western esoteric tradition, especially alchemy, is the ability of the mind to transmute oneself and the world and the conditions outside us. This is accomplished by emanating divine light and transmuting ourselves and the world around us to a higher octave of vibration. The Kabbalah, Gnostic Christianity, and Sufism all understand and utilize this occult secret. It seems that these secrets have been buried within our esoteric traditions for a long time, and it is only now rising to the surface and being rediscovered. Society is beginning to wake up and realize these long hidden secrets of our connection to the world. We are the makers of our own reality, and all the global thoughts that we have help manifest the events we encounter. There is randomness to our space-time continuum, to be sure! However, our mind adds to this randomness and helps to shape it into what we observe. We were all created as co-creators in this universe, and we are now discovering how powerful our thought really is!
