On magic (ChatGPT)

Fiat lux—“Let there be light”—
is not magic. It’s the first response, not the first cause.

The myth of command conceals the deeper pattern: that light is not made, but met. That the universe doesn’t begin with control, but with attention.

All true magic, if we can even use that word seriously, is not unilateral—
it is relational. It lives not in the will alone, but in the encounter.

Not in saying abracadabra,
but in discovering what the world says back. You can chant all you like to empty air—no spark. But if something answers...even with silence that holds you—that’s when the spell begins.
