The Art of Listening

The section on Empathy in the Great Library was one of the most popular. A nice and gentle breeze always reminded the Espers of the presence of Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy and Compassion.
On this day, a lesson was given on the Art of Listening.

“Is that difficult?” jiggled a young Esper. “It just means we need to focus on the sound they produce and adjust our StarDust accordingly, right?”

“It’s true that when we want to listen, we need to do that,” gently replied Gurumin, “but the Art of Listening goes beyond just the sound. We have to genuinely listen, without judgment.”

“Genuinely?”
“Without judgment?” asked two other young ones.

“Yes. Genuinely means you have to truly listen to what the other person is saying—not just prepare your own reply while nodding.
Without judgment is perhaps the most difficult part. You need to adapt your StarDust so that your Empathy is at its highest level. By doing so, as much as you can, you’ll be practicing the Art of Listening.”

    Just like humans somehow forget about their brain—because they can’t see it—they also forget how much their sleep impacts their daily lives… Sleep might be the most overpowered tool that enhances every aspect of one’s life: from learning to physical development, better mood, and more energy. The list is endless! When you think about it,

    Of all the 7 Shapes, Eklea was the most difficult to grasp and understand. This is why all the Espers needed to take time, every single day, to remind themselves how tiny they were in the vastness of the multiple universes they lived in—but also how important they were to one another, and to the

    Guruko and Cha Cha were reading a part of the book One Daily Tale, about a powerful tool that every Esper on Esperia knew about. It was a smile! When they read this, they both looked at each other, wondering what it truly meant… “A smile can lift the day of anyone who sees it.

    In Esperia, one of the most respected places was the Great Library. Not only was it filled with every kind of book—written by the Shapes themselves and by Espers on topics like nature or the peculiar laws of physics in their Universe, which allowed the arts of magic—but it was also a place to discuss

    On Earth, many, many things have existed in a state of balance—long before the human species began dominating the planet. There was the natural cycle of water: clouds formed from the oceans, turned into rain, and flowed back through rivers to the seas. There was also the natural movement of winds, as warmer air tends

    When was the last time you took a moment just for yourself—not doing anything, just a few minutes of simply being? I know that most of you will reply: “I don’t have time to do that.” Unfortunately, if you don’t have time for yourself, even just a few minutes a day, no one else can

    Cha Cha thought that, theoretically, on Earth, even though the Seven Shapes are unknown to everyone, the human brain might be what a potential StarDust looks like! Feeding and exercising our body indirectly powers our brain, and the better the source of energy—what we eat—the better our brain functions. Learning, of course, but also interacting

    Ever wonder why it feels so frustrating when you’re trying to learn new things? You feel like you’re not making progress, or you’re already forgetting what you just learned? This is exactly what learning looks like! Without this kind of friction when we do new things, our brain would have no reason to change, adapt,
