Leading by Example

The Seven Shapes had understood one essential thing. For the Five elements, who had been fighting constantly until now, to finally reach a true and lasting peace, it was necessary to find common ground on which they could all rely, in order to rebuild new and healthy foundations for everyone.

“The StarDust is the perfect foundation for this,” thought Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“Indeed, it involves all the elements, which must help one another together, in harmony and balance,” continued Atma, the Shape of Balance.

“It is also essential for Espers with greater experience and recognition to lead by example. It is a difficult point, but an important one,” said Faya, the Shape of Willpower.

“Yes, this will be the first time we have decided on shared values that can serve as the foundations of a better world for everyone. The inertia of history until now will not fade so easily…” agreed Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness.

“And that is why we must act together, in the same direction,” continued Kenko, the Shape of Health.

“Now that we know Shala, the Shape of Time, we are more able to consider the limited time we have to spend on this planet. And therefore, to cherish even more the people we love,” continued Gurumin, the Shape of Compassion.

“Leading by example, through One Daily Tale. One simple tale each day, for a better world.”

    I Want to Know

    Just as being able to say “I don’t know” is a sign of wisdom, wanting to know—rather than passively accepting things as truth—is yet another mark of it. “It is so easy to accept facts as they are, without trying to understand whether they are true or the reasons behind them,” taught Vati, the Shape…

    Reflections on how to build a world with harmony at its center led the Seven Shapes to place balance at the heart of the matter.

    A Decisive Time

    Shala and Vati discussed extensively the development of StarDust throughout the lifetime of an Esper. One of their conclusions was that even before the birth of a new Esper, the time spent in the mother’s womb had already begun to shape what its future StarDust would eventually become. Broadly speaking, childhood is the “decisive time.”…

    Beliefs

    We now understand that humans are drawn to stories. Long before the digital era—or even before writing—knowledge was passed down through generations by stories told aloud. Whenever someone tells a story, it is no longer reality but a fiction that carries beliefs within it. The natural fear of danger within our species makes us adopt…

    A Common Resonance

    For this lesson, which was considered one of the most difficult, Faya put a great deal of effort into teaching the Espers about resonance. Though Faya preferred to put things into practice, this lesson was particularly abstract, which is why she asked the other Shapes to help her. “The most difficult part about resonance,” said…

    For your loved ones

    Kenko and Gurumin worked together on this course about health and how to promote it, so that even the reluctant Espers would try their best. “I’m free to do as I like!” said a young Esper who didn’t enjoy listening to advice. “Yes, of course you are,” said Gurumin gently. “But why can’t I skip…
