Consideration for the future

The Espers weren’t creatures made to consider the future as their first priority.
They were similar to human beings in many ways: they had to eat and rest.

Esperia, their planet, also had a star it revolved around, creating a cycle of day and night that influenced when they were awake or asleep.

With all these considerations in mind, looking toward the future was difficult for most of them, if they were not taught or reminded to do so.

The Seven Shapes understood this clearly, with the help of Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, who often reminded them that they also needed to be mindful of the future.

Shala, the Shape of Time, couldn’t directly interact with the Espers, as she was a transcendent entity across spacetime and countless dimensions.

Yet her presence was well known, and remembering her was very helpful for the Espers in keeping the future in mind.

    When Atma was born, she brought with her a new concept. Balance in everything is like a wave: the cycle of day and night, the turning of the seasons, even life and death. There were natural rhythms all around Esperia, and when one looked more closely, they all seemed like waves. Sound, light, the flow…

    On Esperia, the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, was essential to help the Espers grasp the notions of future, past, and present. Why? Because any past or future action is nothing more than an action that has once been done in the present! And thus, it was difficult for the Espers to fully…

    Just as our nutrition shapes our health, what we feed our minds also has a powerful influence on who we become. Today, with constant access to an almost infinite stream of information through mobile phones, what we choose to consume becomes the food that nourishes—or weakens—our thoughts. As always, knowing this is one thing. Acting…

    Eklea loved challenging the young Espers with small mental games. “Think about how you see the world. Look around you, and try to imagine viewing it through the eyes of your best friend sitting beside you, the tree in Esperia’s garden nearby, or even one of the countless stars shining in our night sky!” “By…

With the flow of time, we sometimes forget to truly care for our loved ones. Old history may have loosened bonds, or simply living our lives leads us down…
