Every single day, a Heavenly Voice emanates from Mount Sinai, proclaiming: “Return, O rebellious children! How long will you remain in emptiness and spurn the ways of HaShem?” Tanna d’Bei Eliyahu Rabba, Chapter 23
A Contemplative Flash of Intuition: A Vision of Redemption
I had an overwhelming flash of intuition this morning about the unfolding of redemption and its connection to quantum mechanics. But what is the value of understanding quantum mechanics? While it can certainly reveal profound secrets within the Torah, what purpose do these revelations serve if not directed for the sake of Heaven? That is the ultimate question.
Let me explain. We often discuss manifesting—altering reality, correct? But it’s not just about personal reality; it’s far greater than that. We have the potential to influence the entire world, even the cosmos. Picture this: someone creates an incredibly realistic video. What if it depicted everyone at Mount Sinai, awakening at dawn, ready on the 50th day to receive the Torah with joy and unity?
In this vision, the entire camp awakens, and everyone realizes they’ve shared the same dream. They remember it vividly—a collective dream consciously observed by all. They even witness themselves waking up from it.
Now, imagine someone experiencing this Mount Sinai awakening in our modern world through VR—technology so immersive it feels indistinguishable from reality. Scientific studies already show VR can convince the brain of extraordinary things. I personally tried VR once in a simulation where you had to walk off a plank. Even knowing it wasn’t real, I couldn’t do it. That’s how convincing it was.
Now imagine someone deeply connected to the Yechidah, perhaps Mashiach ben Yosef, experiencing this highly realistic VR. In the film, he awakens at dawn within his sukkah as people approach him, saying, “We all had the same dream.”
It’s now Shavuot, the 50th day following the Exodus from Egypt. But this time, something remarkable happens. Hashem speaks only the first mitzvah aloud, and then Moshe and the people receive the initial tablets together.
Why does Hashem only speak the first mitzvah aloud? Because everything implied by the first mitzvah no longer needs to be said. For example, the prohibition against idolatry no longer needs to be emphasized—there’s no golden calf this time.
At Mount Sinai, the Torah recounts that the experience was so overwhelming we “died,” and the angels had to resurrect us—twice. But what does that mean? Clearly, this could be likened to a quantum event at the deepest level.
These angels aren’t literal beings. They are energies, manifestations of the Sefirot. They are not separate entities but reflections of divine energies structured within the 70 facets of creation, from Chesed to Malchut. These represent the 70 ministering angels.
When the sitra achra (the Other Side) gains control of these ministering angels—these energies—the world becomes fractured. But through tikkun, when we reclaim and repair this control, everything is restored.
Certain individuals unconsciously alter reality. These people are connected to something higher along the chain of creation. I call them “sentinels.” Their inner struggles, their brokenness, manifest unknowingly outwardly in the world. Part of their tikkun is to become aware of this and reconcile it through teshuva, self-reflection, and character refinement. But what if this process could be elevated to a quantum tikkun—one that repairs not only the individual but the entire cosmos?
Consider this: we are taught that many wicked souls have been reincarnated into this final generation as part of Hashem’s plan of divine justice and rectification. What if those who refuse to do teshuva simply ceased to exist, trapped in an ever-increasingly chaotic realm? This upside-down world—a shadow of the true world—is like a mirror. In a mirror, everything is reversed, reflecting the opposite of reality.
Now imagine a world where those who perform teshuva, those with intent to change—even if they struggle—are resurrected. They would reappear in a rectified world, resembling the old one but purified, alongside Noahides and the nations.
What if, as we Jews awaken at Mount Sinai, the nations awaken from their shared dream too? This time, the Jewish people stand at Sinai, ready to receive the Torah anew—the original Torah, in its purest form.
This is my imagination running wild, but quantum mechanics—specifically concepts like the Observer Effect—hints at the possibility of altering not just individual realities but national and global ones. Scientists have experimented with altering perceptions of reality since the 1950s, and the implications are profound.
Take the Mandela Effect, for example. It’s not mere coincidence; it may be an experiment on collective consciousness. Modern sciences often originate from the sitra achra. For instance, NASA’s founders were heavily involved in the occult and “dark arts.”
Why was NASA so obsessed with space exploration? What happens when someone looks down on Earth from space? Hypothetically, what if astronauts, under the influence of substances like DMT or LSD, had visions? Could these visions trigger the Observer Effect, altering our collective consciousness and reality without us even realizing it? Notice the patterns emerging since the 1960s.
Quantum mechanics can be wielded either to manipulate or liberate reality. But this time, the Jewish people and the nations will choose liberation. This Quantum Tikkun—a return to Sinai—echoes the themes of teshuva, “returning.”
A collective awakening could serve as the ultimate rectification—a quantum tikkun that heals creation’s fractures, restores unity, and brings us to the threshold of final redemption. The resurrection of the dead, the return to Sinai—it’s all within reach.
We are taught that each of us is a fragment of the consciousness of Adam HaRishon. Together, we represent parts of his original essence. In the distant future—the era of the World to Come, when Mashiach ben David leads us—humanity will ascend to even greater spiritual heights than at its origin. Ultimately, we will return to a state of perfect unity, the oneness from which we emerged. As our sages teach: “The beginning is bound to the end, and the end is bound to the beginning.”
What does it mean for us to be fragments of Adam HaRishon’s consciousness? What might our sages convey by describing us, through Kabbalah, as a dream within Adam HaRishon? These questions provoke profound contemplation, resonating deeply with the mysteries of quantum theory.
As we are taught, redemption unfolds in stages. First comes Mashiach ben Yosef, leading the world toward peace and harmony. After this initial rectification, Mashiach ben David will guide us through the final stages of tikkun, bringing the world closer to Hashem’s divine essence. Of course, Quantum Tikkun is merely a theory—an idea that came to me in a flash of intuition, which I felt compelled to share.
May we merit to witness the complete redemption speedily in our days, with the coming of Mashiach and the rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash, bringing peace, unity, and divine light to all of creation. Amen.
Appendix: A Four-Level Torah Perspective (Pshat, Remez, Drash, Sod)Pshat (Plain Meaning)
At the most basic level, our classical sources speak of HaShem continuously renewing Creation, as it says, “He Who in His goodness renews every day, perpetually, the work of Creation” (cf. Eichah Rabbah 3:23). This underscores the idea that the fabric of reality is not static but is constantly being sustained by HaShem’s will. On a simple plane, we see that the world is not a closed, mechanistic system; something deeper and more “dynamic” underlies existence.
Remez (Hint / Allusion)
On a hinting level, one might note statements such as “Everything follows the thought” (cf. Zohar Vol. 2, Parashat Tetzaveh, 184b) and “Where a person’s mind is, that is where he truly is” (Magid Devarav L’Yaakov, §63). These statements allude to the potent role of human consciousness and how it can shape one’s experience of the world. In a way, it “hints” at an observer-based perspective on reality. While not speaking in terms of “quantum mechanics,” these sources highlight an interplay between the human mind (or soul) and the fabric of Creation.
Drash (Homiletic Interpretation)
1. Collective Consciousness and Sinai
The idea in the article of “everyone sharing the same vision of Mount Sinai” can be related to Rabbinic teachings that all souls—past, present, and future—stood at Mount Sinai (cf. Talmud Shabbat 146a). Even though that Gemara does not describe quantum phenomena, it paints a grand picture of shared consciousness or memory, a single collective moment of revelation. Homiletically, one might compare this to the “superposition” of souls, all partaking of a single, all-encompassing event beyond usual confines of time.
2. Power of Angels and Ministering Forces
The description of angels being “energies” or “manifestations of the Sefirot” aligns with many Kabbalistic texts that identify angels with spiritual forces bound up in divine governance. For instance, Rabbi Chaim Vital (in Eitz Chayim, Sha’ar 43) speaks of angels not as separate “beings” in the mundane sense but as channels of divine energy. In that sense, “they died and were revived twice at Sinai” (Talmud Shabbat 88b) can be viewed on a deeper level as a shift in the spiritual structure of Am Yisrael, resonating with cosmic forces (the “angels”) that sustain life and awareness. One could see a homiletical parallel to quantum transitions or “collapses” of states in creation.
3. Tikkun and Rectification
Our sources speak extensively about tikkun—the process of rectifying the world and returning it to its original divine harmony. The Arizal teaches (in Eitz Chayim, Sha’ar HaKlallim) that every mitzvah, every action infused with proper intent, carries out cosmic repairs. While classical texts do not phrase it as “observer effect,” the concept that human actions and intentions affect worlds beyond the physical is deeply rooted in Kabbalah.
Sod (Mystical / Esoteric Dimension)
1. Adam HaRishon’s Soul as a Collective Root
The notion that we are fragments of Adam HaRishon’s consciousness comes from the Arizal’s teachings in Sha’ar HaGilgulim (Introductions 2–3). All souls derive from that primordial soul, and indeed, the rectifications we undergo in each generation collectively repair not only ourselves but also the larger vessel that was “shattered” by the sin of Adam HaRishon. On a deeper plane, this resonates with the idea that all of humanity shares a single root consciousness at the spiritual level.
2. Illusion, Dream, and ‘Quantum-Like’ Reality
Multiple Midrashim and Kabbalistic sources speak of this world as a dreamlike state. For example, “We were like dreamers” (Tehillim 126:1) is explained by the Sages (Midrash Tehillim ad loc.) as referring to how the final redemption will make us realize the ephemeral quality of our current reality. The Baal Shem Tov (in Keter Shem Tov, §49) expands on that idea, teaching that in truth, we live within Divine “thought,” and our entire plane of reality is akin to a tapestry woven out of HaShem’s speech and wisdom. From a mystical perspective, one might compare this to the article’s suggestion that our entire “world” can shift if the “higher observer” (collective soul, or the Yechidah) envisions it differently.
3. The Observer and Divine Speech
Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (in Tanya, Sha’ar HaYichud VeHaEmunah, chs. 1–2) explains that every instant is re-created by HaShem’s “speech,” such that existence is continually dependent on Divine utterance. While not “quantum physics,” it highlights an analogous principle to the “observer effect”: in the Kabbalistic sense, HaShem’s conscious utterance perpetually brings reality into being, and man, created b’tzelem Elokim (in the “image of God”), can direct or misdirect these spiritual flows through choice and intention.
4. Mashiach, ‘Quantum Tikkun,’ and Collective Redemption
The Arizal states (in Sefer HaLikutim, Yeshayahu, Ch. 11) that Mashiach ben Yosef and Mashiach ben David each represent distinct stages of universal rectification. Some later Kabbalists (for instance, the Leshem, R. Shlomo Elyashiv, in Leshem Shevo v’Achlamah, Drushei Olam HaTohu 2:12) explore how these stages of redemption involve deep cosmic alignments or “realignments” in the spiritual realms. Although not phrased as “quantum leaps,” these teachings describe an eventual unification of all discrete parts (sparks of holiness) into the Oneness of HaShem.
From a purely Kabbalistic vantage, the notion of an “observer effect” or “shared dream” is reinterpreted as the ever-present effect of consciousness—rooted in the soul—upon creation. This is not precisely the scientific quantum mechanics of modern physics but is reminiscent of it: that the deeper one goes into spiritual reality, the less the world appears as rigid matter and more as a “flow” of living forces shaped by divine wisdom, human will, and mitzvot performed l’shem Shamayim.
In short, while neither Talmudic nor classical Kabbalistic texts use modern physics terminology, there are multiple well-rooted teachings that highlight:
• Reality’s continual dependence on Divine energy.
• The powerful role of human consciousness and free will in “rectifying” or distorting creation.
• A dreamlike or fluid dimension in which what we experience as “solid” is really sustained by Divine “speech” and can be shifted or elevated through proper intent.
One could say that the “quantum” language is a modern lens to convey the older, more mystical truths taught by our Sages in allegories, Midrashim, the Zohar, and the writings of the Arizal—especially regarding how one’s inner state (teshuva, consciousness, intention) affects the collective condition and the progression toward redemption.
Every single day, a Heavenly Voice emanates from Mount Sinai, proclaiming:
“Return, O rebellious children! How long will you remain in emptiness and spurn the ways of HaShem?” Tanna d’Bei Eliyahu Rabba, Chapter 23 (sometimes also called: Seder Eliyahu Rabba)
In some editions, the precise wording may vary slightly, or it may appear in an adjoining chapter. A related teaching appears in Pirkei Avot 6:2, which states that every day a Heavenly Voice emerges from Mount Horeb (Sinai) and laments, “Woe to the people for their contempt of the Torah!” Though that version focuses on “Woe to them…” rather than “Return…,” it carries a parallel message that each day, a Divine call summons us to reevaluate our ways and draw closer to Torah and to HaShem.
