The Brain

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 with others, trying new challenges (especially after failures), being curious about the world, and being aware of it all help our brain grow.

And as we sleep each night, all those steps for a healthy brain need to be done daily—as habits that grow with time—because it is during sleep that everything we’ve experienced gets processed in our brain.

This is also why balance in how we use our time is important. Neglecting any of the Shapes means neglecting to nurture one of the Seven Seeds, since sleep is when we process all of the day’s experiences.

“It could work… But it would require the participation of everyone…”

  • I Want to Know

    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

    Triple Point

    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. Atma, the Shape of Balance—born from the fusion of all Five Elements and the discovery of the StarDust—was understood to be the key to solving this challenge. They contemplated the

    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

    Put things into perspective

    You can only see the world through your own perspective. But understanding that is, in itself, a big step toward becoming more aware of your surroundings. Why is it important? Because putting things into perspective helps you face difficulties with greater resolve, feel more empathy for others’ situations, and think more critically. What if I

    A Child’s Heart

    At the Great Library of Esperia, there was a special space dedicated to children. The Seven Shapes soon came to understand the importance of children for a society that sought peace. They realized that the qualities children naturally possessed were the very qualities adults needed to preserve for true harmony to exist. Indeed, a child’s
