Growing the Seeds Every Day

Now that the seeds for developing the StarDust had been sown among the Espers all over the world, they needed to be nurtured and allowed to grow.

This work had to be done every day and become a new habit for it to bear fruit.

Perhaps this was ultimately the most difficult thing for them, even though, in reality, it was very simple.

But who has never made New Year’s resolutions, only to abandon them shortly afterwards?

That was why Shala, the Shape of Time, had also become a way for the Espers to remind themselves every day that they needed to develop their StarDust.

For seeds that have been sown, if they are not cared for, cannot grow to their full potential.

And that was precisely what the Seven Shapes were seeking to do: develop the StarDust present within each of them.

By doing so, their society itself would be transformed and changed forever, becoming fairer and more harmonious with the nature that had nurtured it.

For nature obviously did not need the Espers to exist. Quite the opposite: for thousands of years, the Espers had ravaged and devastated the very planet that served as their home…

At last, it was time for them to try to live in harmony with the nature that allowed them to survive.

    Critical Thinking

    In Esperia, there was an extremely valuable skill that was slowly being developed by all the Espers: critical thinking. Because they were raised with the 7 Shapes in mind, they built up their own unique StarDust, which was in fact the physical materialization of their critical thinking! They understood that living in the present moment…
