The Cycle of Life

The Shape of Time, Shala, had witnessed with her own eyes the beginning of the cycle of life in Esperia.

She remembered when nature took form, eventually spreading in harmony with the mountains, the seas, and the rivers.

She remembered the first Espers, born with their beautiful inner light, which they would call StarDust.

When an Esper reached the end of their journey, their StarDust gently fragmented like a firework, spreading across the land and quietly giving back the love it had received during its life.

The other Espers could all feel it too, and they would carry with them a part of its wisdom.

The younger ones, especially, felt their StarDust vibrating differently after receiving a part of one who had passed.

“What is happening?”

Shala would gently smile and say, “You have just received the parting gift of a departed one. It is a part of their StarDust, and it will help you on your journey ahead.”

    The Seven Shapes understood that for the Espers to act in unison, there needed to be shared values and goals — a common foundation for a new beginning.

    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. 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

    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.”

    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

    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

    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

    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
