The human race is a very, very magical race. We have a magic

The words of Yoko Ono—“The human race is a very, very magical race. We have a magic power of witches and wizards. We're here on this earth to unravel the mystery of this planet. The planet is asking for it.”—echo like a hymn to the hidden greatness of mankind. They remind us that humanity is not a mere accident of dust and flesh, but a being clothed in wonder, endowed with magic power beyond measure. Not the cheap tricks of illusionists, but the deep, living magic of thought, imagination, creation, and love.

This utterance speaks of the mystery of existence. The world is not an inert rock but a living sphere, pulsing with secrets and inviting discovery. From the oceans’ depths to the stars above, from the beating of the heart to the whisper of consciousness, the planet itself is asking—begging—to be understood. Humanity’s role, Ono proclaims, is not domination but revelation: to lift the veils of ignorance and honor the Earth by knowing her truths.

History offers us the tale of Galileo Galilei, who, with his telescope, unraveled part of this mystery. Against the decrees of men who sought to bind knowledge, he listened to the planet’s call, discovering moons that circled Jupiter and proving that Earth itself was not the center of all things. In that act, Galileo became one of the “wizards” Ono describes, wielding the magic of vision and courage to bring forth truth that had slept for centuries.

The quote also reminds us of the sacred responsibility of creation. To be human is to hold both power and duty—to imagine music, art, science, and love, but also to heal the wounds we have caused. The same magic that builds cities can poison rivers; the same genius that discovers stars can create weapons of ruin. Thus Ono’s words carry not only inspiration but warning: the planet asks not merely for curiosity, but for compassion, wisdom, and reverence.

Let this wisdom endure: we are not powerless wanderers, but beings of magic power, chosen to seek and to serve. The mysteries of the Earth are not given freely, but entrusted to those who approach with awe. As Yoko Ono teaches, the human race is here to unravel, to listen, and to answer the call of a living planet. To forget this is to betray our gift; to remember it is to walk in harmony with the stars.
