Wake up

Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, pondered where to begin if a civilization had no knowledge of the Seven Shapes. Surely, neither harmony nor peace could exist in such a world.

There was so much to unpack—especially for the youngest ones, who would have to absorb so much and try to discern what truly makes sense in an unbalanced society striving for limitless goals on a physically limited planet.

How could they ever awaken from illusions they do not even perceive, blinded by their own truths and beliefs?

    For the Seven Shapes, trying at last to build a society that was fair for everyone was no simple task.

    Simba, our little monkey friend, had roamed across the lands of the different elements. He had noticed one thing: while the elements differ on paper, the behaviors of the Espers were often the same, regardless of the element. He could see carefree young Espers, parents worried by the news of the day, disparities between the…

We often remain focused on a given country, often the one of our birth.” he thought. “Isn’t that normal? Many people…
