Learning Every Day

A deeper understanding of the StarDust present within every Esper had led Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, to emphasize the importance of learning every day.

Since the hours of sleep allow knowledge to settle more easily into our minds, making the most of this time each day helped the Espers develop more easily.

The universe is filled with mysteries yet to be discovered, whether they are the countless constellations, stars and planets, the depths of the oceans, or the microscopic world invisible to the naked eye.

To keep learning is also to keep nurturing humility and to realise just how superficial the knowledge of each and every one of us is, no matter who we are, when faced with the vastness of all there is to know.

Daily learning also helps nurture the element of water, which is associated with wisdom and is one of the five essential elements needed to make one’s StarDust shine.

It is therefore also a way to learn more about ourselves, by nurturing the curiosity that sometimes fades with time, yet is so natural to children.

Learning every day is therefore also a way to rediscover the childlike spirit that is all too easily lost in the turmoil of the society we live in, a secret passage leading to true freedom.

    Atma found in Shala the figure of an older sister, someone with whom she could share her vision of the world.

    Once in a Lifetime

    Shala would ask the young Espers what came to their minds when thinking about events that occur only once in a lifetime. A very intrepid child replied first: “The birth of my younger sister!” “Indeed, the birth of a new life is something that becomes a great challenge for the parents.” Vati added: “Raising a…

    As One

    The message of One Daily Tale was simple. The Five Elements working together in balance were the key to a bright StarDust for an Esper. This led to an Esper who could now consciously face his inner Shadow—something hidden from him without the light of his own StarDust. Those enlightened Espers could become living examples…

    Consistency of words and actions

    After they created One Daily Tale, the Seven Shapes knew this was only the first step toward a peaceful Esperia. “From now on, the real challenge begins,” thought Vati, who understood better than anyone that while truth could be written with words, actions and behaviors did not always follow naturally. This was when Faya stepped…

    Third Eye

    Eklea liked to use concrete examples to explain abstract notions that were difficult to grasp, especially for the younger Espers. This time, she used the example of a one-versus-one game played by two Espers. The game had a lot of depth, and a well-timed move could completely change the tide of the match. She said,…

    Pure and Upright

    The Five Elements were representations of the dimensional layers that had to be blended in order to truly understand one’s inner self. Empathy was one of them, and when the Seven Shapes worked on a good description of compassion, they thought about what they saw in Gurumin: pureness. Her character and attitude were pure and…
