To Wipe the Slate Clean

This concept was understood to be crucial for the development of harmony in Esperia. Shala, in particular, was the initiator of this, for she knew that if time was not taken to reflect on the past and to move forward, grudges and resentments would always linger in the Shadow of every Esper— even in the Shadows of newborn Espers, carried from those who came before.

As the Shape of Time, Shala felt the weight of this difficult responsibility. Fortunately, when the StarDust was discovered, she and the other Shapes worked together on this vital matter, which later became a major chapter of One Daily Tale.

The first point everyone agreed upon was that, in order to wipe the slate clean, one must first believe it is truly possible.

Then, by working with your StarDust, you can begin to see the paths within your Shadow, and slowly—but surely—begin your journey toward peace.

    As for Wisdom, the Shadow within each of the Espers was no less present. On the contrary, when faced with difficult questions or complex problems, this Shadow would often avoid the real issue and instead answer something simpler, something it was capable of solving without effort. That was why the Espers sometimes behaved in contradictory…

    In a world of choices that seemed almost infinite, where overconsumption had been made possible by the abundance resulting from the use of magic, the Espers were overwhelmed by sensory stimuli and bombarded with information. It was difficult, then, for the Shadow present within each Esper to make the choices that would promote the balance…

    The Shadow that resides within each Esper has the unfortunate tendency to prioritize short-term benefits for its host. When an Esper reacts unconsciously, their Shadow takes over and acts in their place. Instead of thinking about the long term, which is difficult and requires time, effort, and concentration, their Shadow prefers the lure of an…

    “Without light, no shadow can appear; there is only darkness.” Cha Cha, our platypus friend, had attended a public event where silence was expected. Yet among the audience, two spectators paid little attention to this rule and kept talking, disturbing the people around them. This experience led him to reflect on the Shadow that belongs…

    Let us continue our little journey exploring the Shadow that slumbers within every Esper and reveals itself unconsciously. Today, let us take a closer look at the Shadow of Willpower. Yesterday, Kenko, the Shape of Health, explained how our Shadow sometimes acts against our long-term well-being. When it comes to responsibility and willpower, the Shadow…

    The Espers were now learning to perceive their Shadow by developing their StarDust. Thanks to the efforts of the Seven Shapes and their writings, which took the form of One Daily Tale, their civilization now embraced, among its founding values, the daily balance of the five elements, allowing their StarDust to flourish. For the element…

    The discovery of the StarDust had revealed the existence of a Shadow within every Esper. Long ago, some philosophers already spoke of the importance of knowing oneself, and Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, believed that what they were truly referring to was this Shadow. “This Shadow is a part of us. It is neither good…

    “The circle of life,” Gurumin said with a smile, knowing those words would awaken childhood memories in some hearts. “A new generation arrives, and the older one passes on its experience, its knowledge, and its skills.” “Then it becomes their turn to teach, and the cycle continues.” Yet this obvious truth had gradually faded away,…
