What is the reformation of the world - Tikun Olam - which many speak about it across the world.
The mistake everyone makes, especially those who don't speak Hebrew, is the definition of the world OLAM. People read it as HEALING, or erecting the word as is. Looking at the word as is, and trying to (within ints language) to make it better. But, it's not within the definition of OLAM is in Hebrew - what is concealed. Neelam. What is concealed from our world. What we can't see.
This relates directly into the nature offered to reform in the month of TAMUZ - which relates to the sight. The 12 spies were sent to Israel. But, because their sight and perception was wrong. They couldn't see what was behind, the motive and cause, of the reality they found themselves in. Twitter for example isn't a good source of facts. So, we have to ask ourselves - why are we so hungry to consume the perception that is widely spread.
Tikun Olam suggests that the powers that lead the world, and are the outcome appearing to us as such, are concealed from us. It's not looking with our eyes - on the spectrum of the will to receive for oneself. It requires a PRAYER for being able to see - the meaning, the cause. So we can justify it.
The ability to justify then turns it. The more human consciousness make an effort to be in simile with the purpose, it will start to appear differently. Less concealed. The meaning and cause will be reveled. How? Because the other definition of OLAM is elevation. Which elevates us to be able to see
HOW CAN WE DO IT?

Spiritual uniqueness, the Nibuy, cannot be defined by an individual on his own. It exists only through the surrounding ecology, through the group. Without a spiritual environment there is no spiritual identity, just as a baby raised without human contact would not develop as human. The surrounding light, Ohr Makif, rooted in Malchut, shapes and develops the vessel from the outside. This is why separating the individual from the system is a distortion. In the wisdom of Kabbalah, the group is essential. Through it, the Creator’s plan expresses itself, and even good and evil receive meaning only within this shared field of humanity.
Entering the study of Kabbalah means entering a shared field of spiritual possibility that belongs to a certain time and state of humanity. The role of Israel, its service and destiny, is revealed through this collective process and through the cycles of the year. Within this field, the vessel develops through receptivity, the ability to receive and allow the light to express itself. Free will takes place within the group, as more people turn toward knowing and gradually create a reality in which the knowledge of the Creator can emerge. According to the depth of need and recognition of separation, the group can reach levels such as Nefesh, even Ruach of Nefesh, but only in moments of true connection during study and prayer.
Spiritual attainment is not personal and not constant. It appears when the group aligns in need and work, and then withdraws. Even the giving of the Torah occurred within a collective and only for a moment, yet left a lasting impression. The mistake is expecting spirituality to serve the individual instead of understanding that the individual serves the building of the collective vessel. The work is to form a shared consciousness through which the Creator’s will and speech can be expressed. This becomes the soul of the world, a state in which all will know the Creator as a shared reality formed through the group.
