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.

    Just a Little Time, but Daily

    Shala, the Shape of Time, understood better than anyone how powerful habits were for the Espers.
