Global Vision of the World

For centuries, the Espers of the different elemental regions had developed without understanding that they were part of a whole.

It was only recently, thanks to the use of magic and the new technologies that had emerged from it, that the Espers had truly begun to grasp the idea of a single, unified civilization.

Just as, on an individual level, we sometimes believe ourselves to be the center of the world, seeing the world only through our own eyes, on the scale of a region, one’s own region can also seem to be the center of the world, with the surrounding lands appearing to be home to barbaric peoples or potential dangers.

“When will we finally act for the good of our civilization as a whole, rather than, as we have until now, as peoples who call others barbarians even though they are the same species, known as Espers?” Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, emphasized during a conference on the crucial importance of acting together.

The Chaos War had ravaged the planet and its ecosystem.

Resources were becoming increasingly scarce, and it was therefore finally necessary to seriously consider organizing their civilization, not only to prevent such tragedies from happening again, but also, and above all, to finally become a truly modern civilization: a civilization in which a global vision was understood by all.

    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?

    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.

    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…

    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

    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,…

    Climbing

    Cha Cha liked studying human civilization and the various inventions humans had created—especially sports. One of them in particular captured his attention: climbing. He saw in it a philosophy of life: “You get to battle with yourself. You fail a lot, but try again a lot, and eventually succeed—or not. Sometimes what you lack is…
