A State of Semi-Awakening

In a small village in the Land of Lightning lived a young Esper named Roboka.

In a completely natural way, she imitated and repeated every action and gesture, not only of the other villagers, but also of the animals of the forest!

Watching her try her very best to reproduce the sounds of fantastical creatures, with such innocent sincerity, was one of the most endearing sights.

One day, she met Simba, a little monkey who was just beginning to develop his consciousness.

He was not sure whether he was awake or asleep, for this awareness made him see his own life as if it were a dream.

He looked at the plants with wild curiosity, marveled at the sound of the wind passing through the leaves of the trees, like a soothing melody.

Suddenly, he noticed Roboka, who was imitating him.

At first, he did not understand what she was doing. He thought he was not the only one to be captivated by nature, and overcome by a deep sense of humility before the mysteries of the world and the universe.

“This is what consciousness is…” he thought.

He approached Roboka, who did the same.

“Hello,” he said.

“Hello,” she replied.

These were the very first simple words of a deeply bonded friendship.

    We can be taught many things. But others can only bring us to the doors—we must open them with our own hands. Opening those doors will be up to you. And you alone. Some doors are harder to open. Others you won’t even know exist—until you meet new people or live new experiences. Some doors

    What truly defines us as humans? What sets us apart from other species? Not our physical strength, nor our intelligence. It is our social abilities—our capacity to form groups of many individuals—that have led the human species to eventually dominate the Earth. Empathy is our ability to understand and share the feelings of another. It

    One of the most underrated “skills” to learn is language. For those lucky enough to have had access to education, the use of language in all its forms—be it speaking, reading, or writing—may seem obvious and trivial. But it isn’t trivial at all. Mastering a language is one of the key skills to develop. Why?

    In just a few hundred years, the shape of the Earth has drastically changed—mostly due to the use of fossil fuels that created the “world of abundance” we live in today. While this allowed some countries to thrive on this new “black gold,” when we realize that this resource is, first, not infinite, and second,

    While the details of how our brain functions are still a mystery, we now understand that, of the multitude of choices we make daily, most are made unconsciously, based on our own habits. We could truly say that human beings are creatures of habit! Making better choices in our daily lives means building better habits

    “As long as humans don’t realize their own nature, new technologies won’t solve any real issues.” In the last two centuries, the modern world has given rise to modern civilization: globalization, overconsumption, a world that seems boundless and infinite—a reflection of the most powerful country in the world. But when we understand that the resources

    In Esperia, because the 7 Shapes were at the center of how the land had developed, every single Esper was taught the importance of responsibility, and how to contribute to Esperia as a whole when trying new things. This became especially true as the Espers grew their magical powers—the wiser they had to become, and

    Just like humans somehow forget about their brain—because they can’t see it—they also forget how much their sleep impacts their daily lives… Sleep might be the most overpowered tool that enhances every aspect of one’s life: from learning to physical development, better mood, and more energy. The list is endless! When you think about it,
