Coherent Ideas

The reconstruction of Esperia after the Chaos War had raised an essential question: how could they finally ensure that such events would never happen again?

Until then, the five elements, each under its own sovereignty, had never stopped trying to outdo one another, at the expense of the weakest, the least fortunate, and above all, the ecosystem in which they all lived.

The need for coherence in the decisions they made had therefore become an obvious truth, shared by everyone since the discovery of the StarDust and the existence of the Shape of balance, Atma.

The task was far from easy, of course.

But the Espers had finally come to understand that this mission itself existed, something they had been unable to see because of their Shadow.

That Shadow, now revealed thanks to the StarDust, had gradually led them away from the reality of the situation.

They would therefore have to act together, taking into account the physical realities of the world on which they all depended.

It would require effort from everyone: reflecting on the values to pass on, educating not only the younger generations, but also establishing a process of self-questioning at the individual level.

For everyone bears a share of responsibility in a world that is shared by all and has its limits.

    Muscles

    With age, we slowly begin to lose muscle mass naturally. And in many sedentary countries, desk work doesn’t help make up for this loss. That’s why it’s important to do a few exercises—ideally every day—to rebuild the muscles that are lost. It’s a combination of a few things: More muscles also mean more calories burned…

    Curiosity

    Have you noticed how young children ask so many questions about everything new they discover, hear, or see? This curiosity and fascination with the world is a gift that should be nurtured as much as possible. Why? Because being curious leads us to learn about things, rather than simply accepting them as they are. It…

    Children

    If the debate between nature and nurture has endured through the ages, looking at it from the perspective of brain development makes it clear that nurture plays a significant role in shaping who a person becomes as an adult. Even in the womb, before the cognitive parts of the brain have fully developed, the emotional…

    Learn to Learn

    Guided by the 7 Shapes, the Espers realized that their StarDust was the result of the teachings shared by all of them. One of the important things they also understood was that, no matter what they tried to do, the will to do it was extremely important. The funny thing is, in order to learn,…

    Through our eyes

    We tend to reproduce what we see, and we tend to want what we are shown. This sounds obvious, but it’s precisely why marketing works so well: the more you are presented with a product, the more unconsciously familiar it becomes—and eventually, you’ll want it for yourself. What if, instead, society promoted a lifestyle that…

    Resources

    On Esperia, the laws of physics were very different from those we know on Earth. This allowed the Espers to use magical powers. But they were also deeply aware of the land they lived in, and the natural presence of the 7 Shapes always reminded them that they needed to live in balance with the…

    A Life Ticket

    For any human being reading these lines, you have been given a life ticket—one you couldn’t refuse. You own this ticket, and you alone. How you choose to use it is entirely up to you. The kind of ticket you received may seem quite random: you may have been born into a wealthy family in…

  • Failures

    Failures

    There is a certain irony in how the human brain works: for us to learn and grow, we also need to fail personally. Babies do it naturally when trying to grab objects, sit up, or learn how to walk: they try, fail, try again, fail again… When this was understood by the Espers on Esperia,…
