Emotional Fluctuations

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 for balance with the natural emotional fluctuations of the Espers.

“The goal is not to restrain our emotions, which are part of who we are, but to perceive them when they become too intense.”

Eklea, the Forme of Awareness, continued: “It is never easy to realize when one is overwhelmed by emotions. But little by little, it becomes possible.”

“It also allows us to become more tolerant toward others when it is their emotions that are speaking in their place.”

“We now understand the benefits of developing our StarDust, present inside each of us. It allows us to better understand our own emotional fluctuations. They are part of what we have called our Shadow, which includes the actions we do not consciously control,” added Vati, the Forme of Wisdom.

“By remembering the existence of Atma, the Forme of Balance, it becomes easier for all of us to realize that balance is a combination of highs and lows. What matters is that they do not become too extreme.

    The Freedom to Act

    Developing the element of Fire within one’s StarDust is certainly one of the most counterintuitive things to do. Why? Because it requires us to do things that frustrate us or that we simply do not feel like doing. It means holding back from eating or drinking too much, even during a truly delicious meal. It…

    Balance at the Heart of Physical and Mental Health

    On Esperia too, health was often at the center of discussions, and for a good reason: seeing suffering is not something one wishes for, neither for oneself, nor for loved ones, nor for strangers, nor even for those who may have caused us harm. This last point may certainly lead to another debate, but a…

    Everyone Inside Their Own Bubble

    Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, was giving a lesson today at the Great Library of Esperia. Rebuilding the civilization of the Espers would take time and require everyone’s efforts toward a goal understood and embraced by all. That was no small task, was it? Especially if one looked back at the events of the past,…

    The Little Child We Have All Been

    The adult Espers from all around the world sometimes rediscover the little child they once were. During a reunion with a childhood friend. When they are captivated by the grandeur of the sky and its billions of constellations during a night beneath the stars. When the ebb and flow of the ocean waves sing them…

Nurturing the StarDust that existed within every Esper could become the foundation of shared values…

    Indulgence and Strictness Toward Oneself

    Cha Cha, our dear little platypus who thought of himself as a philosopher, reflected on the difficulty of finding a balance between indulgence and strictness toward oneself. Too indulgent, and one lets oneself go, giving free rein to excuses and easily placing the blame on others, on the current situation, or even on the world…

    The Importance of a Healthy Routine

    The task of rebuilding Esperia on solid foundations was enormous. So many things had to be reconsidered while trying to preserve, as much as possible, the quality of life that magic had made possible, while also limiting its use… A true challenge that required everyone’s active participation. The Seven Shapes therefore decided to emphasize the…

  • Different Levels of Consciousness

    Different Levels of Consciousness

    If the causes leading to this realization were many and varied, the result was undeniable: not all the Espers possessed the same level of consciousness. Taking the case of a single individual, their awareness of the world around them begins in childhood, with the education they receive from a very young age. As the years…
