One Daily Tale

🌎

Again and Again

Even though Esperia had finally become a haven of peace, some Espers still remained reluctant to make efforts they had never made before.
In particular, for those whose inner Shadow was predominant, the principles of One Daily Tale sounded like reproaches, again and again.

“Why do I need to follow these rules now, when before I was free to do nothing?” complained an Esper from a powerful lineage.

“But it is by following them every day that we can develop our StarDust… You yourself said that when it was revealed to everyone, it was the first time you had ever felt that,” his son replied.

His father remained speechless for a few moments, slightly moved by that magical instant when all the Espers had been overwhelmed by the light hidden within them.

“Yes, you are right, but it is not easy to form new habits. Especially at my age.”

“But that is why we must do it daily. Again and again. That is what we are taught. Our StarDust needs time to grow,” his son answered back.

    Eklea and Vati soon became very good friends. Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, always loved asking questions, which came to her mind as swiftly as her Element of Lightning. In Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, she found a companion who would always listen and think along with her. Vati was often surprised by the questions…

    The Seven Shapes understood that for the Espers to act in unison, there needed to be shared values and goals — a common foundation for a new beginning. Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, became a symbol of what must be protected, and of why working together was the only way forward. Her innocence was admired…

    Just as being able to say “I don’t know” is a sign of wisdom, wanting to know—rather than passively accepting things as truth—is yet another mark of it. “It is so easy to accept facts as they are, without trying to understand whether they are true or the reasons behind them,” taught Vati, the Shape…

    Reflections on how to build a world with harmony at its center led the Seven Shapes to place balance at the heart of the matter. Atma, the Shape of Balance—born from the fusion of all Five Elements and the discovery of the StarDust—was understood to be the key to solving this challenge. They contemplated the…

    Shala and Vati discussed extensively the development of StarDust throughout the lifetime of an Esper. One of their conclusions was that even before the birth of a new Esper, the time spent in the mother’s womb had already begun to shape what its future StarDust would eventually become. Broadly speaking, childhood is the “decisive time.”…

    We now understand that humans are drawn to stories. Long before the digital era—or even before writing—knowledge was passed down through generations by stories told aloud. Whenever someone tells a story, it is no longer reality but a fiction that carries beliefs within it. The natural fear of danger within our species makes us adopt…

    For this lesson, which was considered one of the most difficult, Faya put a great deal of effort into teaching the Espers about resonance. Though Faya preferred to put things into practice, this lesson was particularly abstract, which is why she asked the other Shapes to help her. “The most difficult part about resonance,” said…

    Kenko and Gurumin worked together on this course about health and how to promote it, so that even the reluctant Espers would try their best. “I’m free to do as I like!” said a young Esper who didn’t enjoy listening to advice. “Yes, of course you are,” said Gurumin gently. “But why can’t I skip…
