With an open mind

Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, was appreciated by all the Espers.
In every situation, she would listen openly or make a calm judgment. Her daily attitude toward anyone she met was a reflection of her pure heart.

“As much as possible, I try my best to keep an open mind,” she would say.

“It is not easy every day, but we can all work on it, little by little, day by day.”

Her gentle voice was full of trust, and she was the living symbol that empathy and compassion were essential pillars of a world of peace and harmony.

“There will be times when you forget about trying to be open. This is when you could try reminding yourself of Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, and my good friend.”

“Of course, the more people who keep an open mind, the easier it becomes. The discovery of how the StarDust within each of us works was a gift for Esperia, because it became a common ground for all the Espers.”

“Let’s try our best to keep an open mind as much as we can!”

    A Civilization Finally Mature

    Ever since the Espers had developed their ability to use magic, many believed that they had finally succeeded in creating what was known as a modern society.

    Returning to the Basics

    The civilization of the Espers before the Chaos War had gradually drifted away from its foundations. It was becoming increasingly difficult for them to give importance to their basic physiological needs, because these needs were no longer right in front of them. For many, the days when searching for food took up most of the…

    Universal Consciousness

    How can we not naturally think that we are at the center of the world when we see the world only through our own eyes? This was the starting point of a reflection by Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness, concerning a paradox of Esper civilization: on an individual scale, an act may seem entirely rational.…

    If Innocence Were Queen

    Observing how the civilization of the Espers behaved before the Chaos War, one might believe that they were all afflicted by a destructive madness, or were desperately trying to get the better of others at their expense.

    Values at the Heart of the System

    The world before the Chaos War was quite a bewildering spectacle. On the one hand, the use of magic had given the Espers technologies that allowed them to satisfy their thirst for individuality and freedom, which they championed under the banner of modernity. But on the other hand, the system in which they lived had…

    Reconnecting with Strong Bonds to What Is Essential

    The civilization of the Espers had gradually moved away from what was nevertheless necessary to meet their natural physiological needs. Being able to feed themselves had become an ordinary act, with no apparent connection to nature, its resources, or the ecosystem of which they were nevertheless a part. Why was it important, in the eyes…

    Caught up in their own emotions, who has never felt resentment toward someone else, only to later forget even the original reason for the conflict? The new Esperia that the Seven Shapes were trying to rebuild was now founded on principles shared by everyone. Since Shala, the Shape of Time, had become a symbol that…
