Blind Obedience

Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, had the difficult task of “teaching” how to become more conscious. But she knew better than most that there was a paradox in this, for while guidelines can be provided, consciousness can only be achieved by the Esper himself.

A young Esper of Wind gently asked, a bit naively:
“We just have to listen to you and do as you say, right?”

Eklea smiled and replied:
“If I were always right, maybe… But even so, the important part is that you are able to decide and choose by yourself, not simply blindly follow others… even if they are supposed to be the most respectable.”

A young Esper of Earth commented:
“This is too complicated! Can’t we just do as the teacher says, like in the classes regarding our health?”

“Awareness is a bit special,” Eklea said.
“But indeed, working on the other Elements, for a brighter StarDust, can help you understand its principles.”

    The Seven Shapes had understood one thing: no Esper was born with knowledge of the world, its history, or its tragedies. For the young, sometimes left to themselves, they had understood that it was more than necessary to establish a charter capable of guiding them. Thus, Faya, the Shape of Will, thought that having a…

    In today’s lesson led by Kenko, the Shape of Health, the discussion was about the connection between physical and mental strength. A young Esper, a little surprised, asked:“Is there a connection between the two? I don’t really understand…” Kenko smiled gently. “Yes, the link is not easily visible if we have not taken the time…

But simply through a lack of clarity, humility, and empathy. The Espers of the Five Elements did not know that they shared one single planet, now called Esperia.They did not…

    History has shown many times how human beings have been capable of atrocities toward other human beings. The irony is that in the age of AI, these same humans praise the greatness of humanity, claiming that AI will never be able to have feelings or experience emotions. Yet we are also living in a time…

    Since the birth of Atma, who had become the symbol of Balance, the Espers had understood one thing. True balance does not lie in a straight and continuously stable line, but is the result of fluctuations, like the waves of the sea that come and go. Gurumin, the Forme of Empathy, then connected this need…
