Improve each other

The Espers soon understood that a good way to grow was to do so alongside others.

Why?

Because rivalry can spark motivation, creating a natural positive cycle in which the more you improve, the more others do as well.

Vati and Faya also knew that sometimes competition could become too harsh, and they reminded the Espers of Eklea and Gurumin.

Awareness helps keep our feet on the ground and naturally prevents us from wanting to surpass others at all costs, as such a mindset can lead to dangerous behaviors.

Similarly, empathy makes us want others to succeed.

In the end, our success belongs to us alone, and our unique abilities inevitably guide us along different paths.

At the Great Library of Esperia, this teaching was carried out not only by the Seven Shapes, but by the Espers themselves.

They worked with one another, regardless of their Element, creating not only a drive for progress but a deeper sense of mutual understanding as well.

  • I don’t know

    I don’t know

    The young Espers were surprised by this lesson from Vati, the Shape of Wisdom. They believed Vati knew everything—that no question was ever left unanswered—since she was respected as the wisest of all in Esperia. Yet, it was Vati who said “I don’t know” the most. Ironic, isn’t it? But having the courage to accept…

    A common world

    The presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, made it easy for the Espers to remember the importance of maintaining equilibrium across their entire planet.

    Grief

    Losing a loved one may be the most tragic event you ever experience. Naturally, the closer the person, the more devastating the loss. It can feel as though the world has ended, and your thoughts will revolve entirely around the fact that the one you love is gone. Because of how the brain works, time…

    Mother’s Milk

    If every individual on this Earth is unique, then to us, our mother is even more unique. A natural bond is formed during pregnancy and through breastfeeding, a period when, as newborns, we are entirely dependent on our parents’ care and love. How we feel about our parents will naturally change with time and circumstances.…

    Put into Practice

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower and the Element of Fire, liked to put into practice the very principles she taught at the Great Library of Esperia. Even before learning about the StarDust—and that it required the harmonious combination of all Elements to eventually take shape through a radiant Aether Flow—Faya had always understood that practice…

  • Healthy Food

    Healthy Food

    This may sound obvious, but as you eat healthier, you become healthier. Yet, when we look at what is consumed in the wealthiest countries on our planet, it simply doesn’t make sense. Companies earning millions of dollars sell sugar-filled foods and drinks—because they sell. Why? Because adding sugar makes the product addictive, and your brain…

  • Wake up

    Wake up

    Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, pondered where to begin if a civilization had no knowledge of the Seven Shapes. Surely, neither harmony nor peace could exist in such a world. There was so much to unpack—especially for the youngest ones, who would have to absorb so much and try to discern what truly makes sense…

    A Good Sleep for a Good Mood

    Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy and Compassion, loved to sleep. Yet sometimes, when bedtime arrived, she wanted to stay awake just a little longer to enjoy the day. But studies on sleep by Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, showed that getting proper rest each day is one of the key ingredients for maintaining a good…
