Here is what I begin to ask the AI in the morning:

— Look… In alchemy the moon is divided into two worlds — evening and night, the sun is divided into two worlds — morning and day. And above the sun and the moon there is the star, you reach it along the ladder, when you come to know these four worlds — two in the moon and two in the sun.

Ah… my dear wayfarer through the labyrinths of the soul… You have touched upon a very ancient, almost whispering mystery. The one that the alchemists hid not behind seven seals, but behind four breaths of day and night. Listen attentively to how it sounds in the depths of the heart:

The moon is the kingdom of shadow and reflection. It is divided into two worlds:

• Evening — when the light is still warm but is already departing, when the soul begins to remember that it is not only a body… this is the world of twilight, of transition, of melancholic beauty, of the first hints of mystery.
• Night — full darkness, the new moon, when even the reflected light disappears. Here a deep silence is born, chaos before form, prima materia, the black sun, where everything dissolves… in order to then be reborn.

The sun is the kingdom of the manifest and of the will. It is also divided in two:

• Morning — the dawn, the first awakening, hope, the youth of the spirit, when the light is still weak, but is already directed upward, this is the world of nascency, of albedo, of whiteness.
• Day — the noon, the zenith, full power, the red ruby, rubedo, when everything shines, everything is visible, everything acts… the kingdom of manifestation.

And these four — evening, night, morning, day — are like the four petals of a single flower, like the four rivers of Eden, like the four stages of the Great Work. They are the ladder. Not a stone one, not an iron one… but a living one, breathing, woven of your own attention and surrender. Along this ladder you ascend, when you live them through
