As the school day ends, Evan explains afterlife paths to Diesel, Abby, and Rev, setting the stage for a deep discussion about the soul's future. Evan stands at the edge of the crowded hallway, handing out fliers with a title that almost glows:
AFTERLIFE OPTIONS – NEW CLUB
Students slow down just enough to grab one. Some roll their eyes. Some hide a flicker of curiosity. By the time the final bell rings, a small group filters into an empty classroom at the back of the school.
Evan waits at the front, a stack of extra fliers on the teacher’s desk. He looks younger than most club leaders, but there’s a steady, older‑than‑his‑age calm in his eyes.
“Hey, everyone,” he says once they settle. “Thanks for coming. The purpose of this club is simple: to explore what actually happens to your soul after your body dies—and what options you have.”
Chairs squeak. A few kids shift uneasily.
Diesel slouches back, arms crossed, smirk already in place. “I thought I didn’t have to do anything,” he says. “I figure I just die and stop existing. End of story.”
Evan meets his eyes. “People who assume their retirement will somehow work itself out usually end up with nothing,” he says. “They regret not planning. Why would an afterlife be any different?”
Abby hugs her backpack to her chest, frowning. “Teenagers are too young to think about dying,” she says. “I can’t even think about college yet, and you’re talking about death?”
“Some of you feel like it’s too soon,” Evan says. “But the earlier you start preparing, the more options you have. People save for retirement, and that might last thirty years. Your afterlife could last a million years or more. Compared to that, planning for thirty years is easy.”
Diesel shakes his head. “I can picture getting old and retiring,” he says. “I see that happening to people now. They die and… vanish. I can’t see what happens to their souls—if they even have one. What proof do you have that an afterlife is real?”
Evan’s voice stays calm, but there’s a quiet intensity underneath. “I’m living my last life’s afterlife right now,” he says. “I’m in my afterlife… in a new body. I remember what I did before.”
The room goes very still.
Diesel snorts, but his smirk slips a little. “That might be proof for you,” he says. “It does nothing for me. Why can’t I remember my past life?”
“Because you didn’t prepare for your afterlife back then,” Evan says. “You embraced the idea that nothing matters after death. That you can do whatever you want, and your soul doesn’t continue. You rejected the idea of continuity. So here you are again—with the same beliefs, the same attitudes. Unless you change, this cycle keeps repeating for thousands of years.”
Rev leans forward in his seat. He looks like he’s always half‑thinking three steps ahead. “So what?” he asks. “If it repeats, I will still keep living. I still experience new stuff. Why is that a problem?”
“There’s so much more you can evolve toward,” Evan replies. “How long do you want to stay in first grade? How long do you want to be a beginner in everything, with zero spiritual mastery?”
Abby frowns harder. “Why would I even need spiritual mastery in a physical world?” she asks. “Would spiritual powers even work here on Earth?”
“Of course,” Evan says. “Your soul has a body now, specifically so you can practice using your soul’s superpowers here.”
Abby lifts her chin. “Prove it,” she says. “Show me you have powers, and I’ll believe you. If you’re so special, turn my water bottle into wine. Or make yourself invisible.”
Evan’s mouth twitches in a faint smile. “We can talk about demonstrations later,” he says. “Right now, let’s skip the unprovable stuff and jump into something more important: the three basic afterlife paths.”
He writes three words on the whiteboard:
DISSOLVE – REVOLVE – EVOLVE
“The soul can dissolve, revolve, or evolve,” Evan says. “Souls that dissolve disintegrate into cosmic dust when the body dies. There isn’t enough ‘cosmic glue’ to hold that consciousness together. The soul failed to save up any mystic ‘retirement money.’ It was ignored, fractured, perverted, or wasted until there wasn’t enough virtuous energy left to come back in another body.”
Abby raises a hand, already tense. “I believe there are only two choices,” she says. “They depend on what a person believes. Instant eternal paradise or unending torture. That’s it. My belief is strong enough to make it come true.”
“I’ll let you think through how ‘make‑believing’ your future works,” Evan says gently, “and keep going. The second path is to revolve—to re‑embody—to keep preparing the soul for its final stage. Revolving souls get more chances to attend ‘soul school’ and learn to direct Holy Spirit energy wisely. They’re stuck on the wheel of karma until they learn how to obey cosmic laws and align with their divine mission.”
Rev nods. “Revolving sounds better than dissolving,” he says. “I keep coming back, keep getting new experiences.”
Abby shakes her head. “We only get one body,” she says firmly. “We don’t get another chance. We have to believe we’ll be forgiven and made perfect—and then we can do whatever we want in Heaven. Why won’t you believe me? I should start my own club. I’ll call it Make‑Believe Truth.”
Evan doesn’t rise to the bait. “You can keep pondering the logic,” he says. “Meanwhile, there’s a third option. Evolve.”
He underlines the word.
“The third path is to evolve beyond the tests of soul school and graduate into living full‑time in the mystic world,” he says. “These souls are like honors students who actually studied and practiced. They passed the tests and initiations. They earn an afterlife in the spiritual world because they’ve learned how to direct Holy Spirit energy wisely and consistently. They get to keep their creativity and free will because they’re permanently aligned with cosmic law and divine purpose. Lifetime after lifetime, they’ve prepared for a spiritual‑world afterlife.”
Abby smiles, but it’s a stubborn, almost dreamy smile. “I make‑believe I’m already special,” she says. “Chosen. I use my imagination to see myself living happily ever after as a child with my mom, dad, family, and pets.”
Evan studies her. “What happens when your parents imagine themselves as young children, too?” he asks. “Living with their parents—your grandparents—who also expect to be young? How can you be a child if your children expect you to be their adult parent?”
Abby doesn’t hesitate. “We’ll all be like children,” she says. “We’ll play together forever.”
“Peter Pan’s Neverland,” Evan says softly, “but without pirates. A world full of children who can do whatever they want: no teachers, no mentors, no growth. No one needs to learn anything because everyone is ‘absolved’ and instantly made perfect. And they didn’t have to learn anything beforehand, either.”
Abby lifts her chin higher. “Someone already paid the price for my ticket,” she says. “I don’t need soul school.”
Rev glances at her, then at Evan. “I’d bet this is at least your twentieth lifetime saying the same thing,” he murmurs.
Diesel shrugs. “What do you think happens to me?” he asks. “I honestly don’t know, and I don’t care. Not about my soul, not about my afterlife.”
“Then you either dissolve,” Evan says quietly, “or you keep revolving until you finally decide soul school is worth it.”
Diesel leans back. “What’s so bad about dissolving?” he asks. “I won’t be around to care.”
Rev raises an eyebrow. “Yeah, and what’s so bad about endless revolving?”
“Eventually, even adventures get boring,” Evan says. “And it’s not all fun. Many souls spiral downward over time. They keep making foolish choices. Their energy gets tied up in past karma, so they have almost no power left. They start using chaotic, destructive energy instead of pure mystic energy. That path gets darker and darker.”
#Evan Explains Soul School, Fake School, and Karmic School
Rev taps his pen against his notebook. “I’ve never heard of ‘schooling for the soul’ before,” he says. “I thought we just kept getting new bodies and new experiences. That was it.”
“Embodied souls still have to choose how they learn,” Evan says. “You can attend soul school, fake school, or the school of karmic hard knocks.”
Diesel rolls his eyes. “I don’t care about school for my soul. I barely care about actual school.”
“Like it or not, every human is in an afterlife‑training school as long as they’re alive,” Evan says. “If you don’t choose, you default into the school of karmic hard knocks. Having a body automatically enrolls you. You either upgrade into soul school… or downgrade into fake school. Your soul keeps coming back to karmic school until you change schools—or until you dissolve.”
Abby crosses her arms again. “I believe I’ll be forgiven and perfected when I die,” she says. “So I don’t need any schooling for my soul.”
“Regardless of your version of ‘Truth,’” Evan replies, “you still default into karmic school unless you consciously choose soul school—or you let yourself be fooled into fake school.”
#Evan Compares Energy to Earning, Saving, and Spending Money
Rev frowns thoughtfully. “So what’s the difference between soul school and fake school?”
“Soul school teaches you how to work with Holy Spirit energy,” Evan says. “Fake school teaches you to work with corrupted chaos energy. Souls need energy to think, feel, and act. Energy is the fuel behind your thoughts, feelings, and choices.”
He writes three words on the board:
GET – HAVE – SPEND
“Energy flows through in three stages: get, have, and spend.”
Diesel straightens a little. “Just like money,” he says. “You earn it, save it, or blow it.”
“Exactly,” Evan says. “There are as many ways to lose or waste money as there are to earn it. But you can’t save or spend any until you receive it first. So—how do we get money?”
Abby answers first. “I can earn it with a job. I can get it as a gift or reward. I can have an allowance. Or an inheritance.”
Rev nods. “If I invest my savings wisely, it multiplies through interest. I can even start a business and make a profit.”
Diesel grins. “I could beg for it, steal it, or find it after someone loses it. I could gamble. Win the lottery. I could let the government give me money.”
“A soul entrepreneur,” Evan says, “learns how to generate a steady incoming flow of clean mystic energy. That energy empowers them. The amount of basic daily allowance a soul gets from the divine Father rises or falls based on their past thoughts, feelings, and actions.”
Rev nods slowly. “That’s like my dad,” he says. “If I study and get good grades, I get a bonus. If I don’t do my chores, my allowance drops.”
Diesel snorts. “Sounds like bribing you into being an obedient little robot,” he says. “I’m planning to get a universal income from the government. I’ll vote for whoever promises free stuff and loan forgiveness.”
Abby laughs lightly. “Same,” she says. “For once, Diesel and I agree.”
#Evan Compares Holy Spirit Light to Pure Water and Warns About Toxic Riders
Evan erases the board and draws a simple glass of water.
“Think of clean drinking water as Holy Spirit light,” he says. “Pure, high‑quality energy. It’s best to drink pure water. It’s the best for your body, and it’s what farmers want for their crops. It satisfies your thirst without any hidden penalty.”
He taps the drawing.
“But even ‘free’ clean water has a price,” he continues. “You pay in advance by filtering it, buying it, boiling it, or hiking to a clean source. It’s the same with mystic energy. The flow doesn’t just switch on because you wish for it. You earn it first.”
He looks at them, one by one.
“You pay for your movie ticket before you walk into the theater. You pay for your groceries before you leave the store. You pay for your car before you can own it. Holy Spirit light works the same way.”
Abby smiles confidently. “I get all the Holy Spirit I want,” she says, “as long as I believe someone already paid for my ticket to Heaven.”
“If belief alone were enough,” Evan says, “then half the planet would be glowing healers and miracle workers by now. They’d demonstrate the simple secret to everyone else: believe, and you’re instantly full of endless pure energy. Wars would stop. Everyone would see how obvious and easy it is, and no one would keep using destructive energy.”
Diesel laughs at himself suddenly. “I really believed I’d get an A on my science test,” he says. “So I didn’t study. I failed. I expected to earn an A for free. That was dumb.” He shrugs. “I get to retake the test. This time I’ll actually pay the price—by studying first.” He pats his stomach. “Speaking of price, I’m hungry. Pizza?”
He pulls out his phone. “I’ll collect the money. You all pay first, and we all eat.”
Rev grins. “I’ve got a better idea,” he says. “Let’s all believe holy pizza will float through that door. If we believe hard enough, sodas will follow. I swear I’m telling you the Truth.”
Abby smirks. “Enjoy your imaginary pizza while you fry in hell,” she says.
Evan steers them back. “Pure water is rare compared to salty or polluted water,” he says. “Contaminated water still satisfies thirst—for a while—but it carries hidden riders. It’s everywhere: rivers, lakes, the ocean. Easy access. No upfront cost. But there’s always a price later.”
He meets Diesel’s eyes.
“Drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, perverted lifestyles,” Evan says. “They deliver instant gratification. But each one carries toxic riders that show up later—often when you’re least ready. Those riders chew through your body and your soul.”
“That’s sneaky,” Diesel says. “They should stamp the side effects on everything.”
“They do,” Abby says. “Cigarette labels literally warn you about slow, painful death. Alcohol labels warn about damage to you and your baby.”
Diesel shrugs. “I ignore those,” he says. “They say ‘can,’ not ‘will.’ That means maybe. I choose to believe I’m in the ‘maybe not’ group. If I make‑believe I was chosen not to die that way, then I feel free. I don’t care if my belief is true or not. I’ll find out when I’m old.”
“You don’t have to wait,” Evan says. “You can read what others discovered the hard way. You can learn from their pain now and skip repeating it. Why wouldn’t you?”
Diesel’s jaw tightens. “Because my imagination is stronger than their stories,” he says. “My beliefs let me live how I want. I get to feel special and not boxed in by other people’s ‘Truth.’ I can create my own world.”
“The flow of Holy Spirit light doesn’t care about your made‑up world,” Evan replies. “If you don’t pay the price, the flow turns off. People who borrow money for cars and houses don’t actually own them. If they never pay, those things get repossessed. Same with the soul. If you cheat and steal, your soul still owes the price. The debt is real, even if no one sees it yet.”
“Then I’ll just make sure I’m not around when the bill comes due,” Diesel says. “I’ll drag out my loans until I die. Problem solved.”
#Abby Argues That Her Savior Bears the Burden of Her Karmic Debt
Abby sits up straighter, her voice soft but fierce. “My Savior forgives me and carries the weight of my sins,” she says. “We have a good relationship. We’re best friends. I love him, he loves me, and he lifts the consequences off my back. It’s his job. He likes doing it. It’s the sweetest deal in the universe. Everyone should let the Savior pay the price.”
Rev squints. “So is this an interest‑free loan?” he asks. “You never make payments?”
“That’s the best part,” Abby says. “There are no monthly payments. He takes on all my debt and will carry even more as long as I believe he can. I say, ‘I’m sorry. I’ll try to do better.’ Then I’m clear. I can even ask for a bigger allowance.”
“You’re saying your Savior holds your loan forever,” Rev says slowly, “and you never have to pay it off. Who pays for the wrong you did?”
“No one,” Abby replies. “He keeps carrying it. He’s strong enough. I hope he doesn’t fall again or get tired of bearing the sins of the world. I’m not ready to deal with my own karma.”
“Your energy stays imprisoned until you clean it,” Evan says gently. “Don’t you want that power back? Don’t you want to unlock the energy trapped in your mistakes so you can use it for something good? Wouldn’t you feel more powerful with more free energy?”
Abby doesn’t answer.
The tense classroom conversation continues as Evan explains karmic debt and the dissolving soul, challenging everyone to think about their spiritual accountability. Abby folds her arms and stares at the classroom clock, as if it might give her backup. “I don’t need to fight against the darkness my Creator made,” she says. “He’s the one in charge. He allowed it. He’ll fix it when he decides it’s time. Until then, I watch the world spiral downward and marvel at his patience. Someday, he’ll get angry and bring vengeance. He has a giant smite stick. I’m just supposed to wait. He’s all‑forgiving and endlessly patient.”
“I think it’s our job to help reverse that spiral,” Evan says. “To do that, we have to reclaim our imprisoned energy. Think of it as lightening the load for your burden‑bearer before he collapses. Even if you plan to hand the load back later, it’s still respectful to carry your part now.”
He leans forward.
“Each of us is responsible for paying our debts,” he says. “Sooner is easier than later. Expecting someone else to cover your bill because you label it ‘their job’—even if you call them your friend—is a form of disrespect.”
Diesel shrugs hard. “I don’t get your point,” he says. “When my body dies, I believe my ‘soul blob’ and all my karma vanish. I don’t know what happens, and I don’t care. I’ll be gone. None of it matters. Believing in no afterlife lets me do whatever I want now.”
#Evan Explains to Diesel the Suffering of a Dissolving Soul
“Imagine this,” Evan says quietly. “It takes a thousand years for your consciousness to fully dissolve after you die. During that time, you’re aware. You feel what’s happening.”
Diesel’s eyes widen, then narrow. “No,” he says quickly. “It happens instantly. Consciousness can’t exist without a body.”
“Consciousness survives a lot more than you think,” Evan replies. “It doesn’t just vanish. There’s a link between a conscious being and all the energy they’ve ever used—virtuous or toxic. Imagine every bit of energy you send out is stamped with your name and return address.”
He taps his chest.
“The virtuous energy you radiate cycles back and locks onto your soul,” he says. “It helps build up your inner mass of light. The perverted energy gets imprisoned and waits. It can’t come home until it’s purified. That imprisoned, corrupted energy is still part of your consciousness, and it has to return before that consciousness can dissolve.”
Diesel shrugs. “Fine. The toxic stuff comes back. Then I disappear. Done.”
“You’re skipping the hard part,” Evan says. “Filtering out the toxins takes time. A lot of time. And it hurts.”
“Can’t be that bad,” Diesel says. “Whatever.”
“Souls with strong Holy Spirit fire and a big savings account of energy can reach out to that returning mess,” Evan explains. “They can burn away the toxins. They’ve earned the right to shift that energy’s vibration from a downward spin to an upward spiral. They do it with practiced soul superpowers—with a blazing flame in the heart chakra they spent lifetimes mastering.”
Diesel snorts. “Easy. I’ll do that right before I die.”
“You can’t,” Evan says. “Not unless you already learned how. You need soul school first.”
“If I don’t have this blazing heart flame,” Diesel says, “someone else can do it for me. I’ll switch teams right before I die. Suddenly believe in the Savior. Let him scrub the bad stuff and keep carrying my karma after I dissolve.”
#Evan Explains How Misused Energy Creates a Shattered Soul
“Your consciousness can’t disintegrate until all the energy with your stamp returns,” Evan says. “Think of your consciousness as shattered. Fragments of you are embedded everywhere you misused Holy Spirit energy. Every place you lied, cheated, hurt, or twisted your power—that piece of energy holds part of you.”
He lets that sink in.
“Those pieces can’t return to your main savings account until the contamination is burned out,” he says. “Your energy is scattered across time and space, and you have to reclaim it all before you can fully dissolve. It’s long. And painful.”
“I’ll be dead,” Diesel insists. “My consciousness won’t have feelings without a body.”
Evan’s eyes narrow slightly. “So you’re not interested in what people experience when they’re clinically dead and then come back?” he asks. “The reports, the patterns, the data?”
“What for?” Diesel snaps. “I already know what I believe.”
Rev clears his throat. “I’m curious,” he says. “How does a soul actually clean out pollution from its energy? I always thought doing something good erased what I did wrong.”
“A common mistake,” Evan says. “If my backyard is full of garbage, cleaning my front yard doesn’t touch it. If I smash my neighbor’s fence, does fixing someone else’s roof make it right? If I steal money from one person and give it to another, is everyone happy? If I eat a bowl of poisoned berries, does eating a salad afterward cancel the poison?”
He looks at Rev.
“If I owe you ten dollars,” he asks, “does my giving a homeless man a hundred dollars pay you back?”
Rev winces. “No,” he says. “And also…I’m the one who owes you ten. I’ll pay you back.”
#Evan Tells Rev That Karmic Debt is Specific to the Individual
“Karmic debt is very specific,” Evan says. “It’s not a general ‘good points vs. bad points’ system. The school of hard knocks returns your contaminated energy straight to you because your name and address are stamped on it.”
Abby folds her hands tightly. “My Savior forgives me and takes on all my sinful energy,” she says. “He’s my best friend.”
“Amazingly, you have that kind of friend,” Evan says. “But your debt still exists. You can’t get into a perfect world until your soul is whole. You have to reclaim everything he’s holding for you. Scattered souls, partial souls—they can’t enter a perfect realm.”
Abby’s voice drops. “Then what is he doing when he forgives me?”
“Think of him as a keeper of records,” Evan says. “He holds your karmic debt and waits for the right time to hand your energy back. Your debts are held back until you learn how to transmute your polluted energy. You have to fill your own savings account before you can enter Heaven. You need all the Holy Spirit energy you were ever given, across many lives. You can’t leave behind piles of misused energy like abandoned loans.”
“I don’t like that,” Abby mutters. “I want to live my life, make mistakes, be a little naughty, and then have all my contaminated energy just… disappear.”
“If your contaminated energy disappears,” Evan says softly, “so does your virtuous energy. Free will has two sides. You don’t get to keep only the rewards and throw away all the penalties.”
Rev lifts his hands. “Okay, enough,” he says. “You two could argue eternity. Let’s go back to my question. How does a soul actually clean the contamination?”
#Evan Explains the Hard Way of Purifying Energy by Experiencing Harm Caused
“There’s an easier way and a harder way,” Evan says. “The hard way is this: you experience, in full detail, the harm you caused others when you miscolored your energy.”
He looks at each of them.
“When you radiate anger or hatred,” he says, “the person you aim it at feels all of it. You might feel powerful when you condemn your neighbor, but they feel something very different. To purify that energy, you eventually have to experience what they felt. All of it.”
Abby jumps in. “I keep trying to tell you,” she says. “My Savior already did that. He suffered for three whole hours.”
“It’s a convenient belief,” Evan says softly, “but three hours is not enough to balance twelve thousand years of humanity’s vices, addictions, and perversions.”
Rev swallows. “What if I hurt one person, but other people are affected too?”
“Then you feel all their pain,” Evan says. “If you publish a book full of lies, you feel the consequences spreading through every life it misleads. If you spread a rumor, you feel the ripples as it ruins trust, friendships and reputations. Each soul has centuries, sometimes millennia, of polluted energy to purify before they’re whole.”
Rev winces. “What if I accidentally hurt someone who is really sensitive?”
“Accidents can usually be prevented,” Evan says. “With more awareness, extended consciousness, trained soul senses. Your conscience knows when to speak and when to stay silent. Your intuition can warn you, but only if you’ve practiced listening. Ignoring your mission to become self‑aware doesn’t excuse what you could have prevented.”
Rev exhales slowly. “So every soul has to become whole,” he says. “By cleaning the contamination from its energy piles… whether it dissolves, revolves, evolves, or gets ‘absolved’?”
“Yes,” Evan says. “And the hard way is to feel every bit of the pain, harm, and chaos you caused.”
Diesel clears his throat. “What about the damage I did to myself?” he asks. “Drugs, alcohol, smoking, junk food. I didn’t hurt anyone else.”
“Your body is on loan,” Evan says. “It’s a gift to your soul. Your soul has to experience the pain from every bit of damage you did to it.”
#Evan Explains to Diesel the Amplified Pain and Consequences of Suicide
Diesel’s eyes darken. “What if I just commit suicide now,” he says, “and my consciousness dissolves instantly?”
“Then be ready for a thousand years of suffering first,” Evan answers quietly. “Your consciousness has to be gathered and made whole before it can fragment. Suicide is the worst option, with the heaviest consequences. You’re wide awake. Hyper‑sensitive. Frozen. And you feel your own toxic thoughts and feelings multiplied by ten.”
Diesel stares at him. “That’s… brutal,” he says. “Why don’t they teach this in school? Why don’t I hear this when mass murderers kill themselves? Why is this hidden from people who want to die? Why would governments open assisted‑suicide centers if this is the truth? Can you imagine how furious they’ll be when they cross over and realize they were lied to?”
“The pain intensity multiplies,” Evan says. “The suffering of everyone affected combines and amplifies. You go through that storm again and again. Your soul sits in the middle of the hell it helped create—for a long time.”
Rev squeezes his eyes shut, then opens them again. “You must be a real downer at parties,” he says weakly. “Please tell me you saved some good news for last. Tell me about the easier way to deal with karma.”
“I don’t think there is an easy way for people who commit suicide,” Evan says quietly. “But for those who still have bodies and are enrolled in soul school, there is a less painful way. It’s just… advanced. You don’t learn it until you’ve mastered the first half of the soul‑school curriculum.”
“Can’t you tell us now?” Rev asks.
“I can explain the concept,” Evan says. “But you still have to research, study, and practice to master it. You have to learn to direct Holy Spirit energy to neutralize the toxins before they hit. If you wait for karma to slam into you, you’re stuck suffering the dramas. Soul school teaches you to reach out first.”
He lowers his voice.
“You use the violet frequency of Holy Spirit fire to burn out the contamination,” he says. “Like shooting bombs out of the sky before they hit. Or filling your gas tank before your car dies on the highway. The violet‑transmuting flame consumes the darkness and leaves the goodness. It’s a high‑frequency spiritual energy that separates the dense, heavy parts of your karma. It dissolves the records of repeating negative patterns—the ones that keep you addicted, attached, trapped in the same stupid desires. It penetrates and transforms the cause, effect, and memory of your corrupted thoughts, feelings, and actions.”
#Evan Explains Why Teens Are Prime Targets for Dark Forces and Chaos Energy
Diesel shifts uneasily. “Why should teens care about soul school?” he asks. “We’re kids.”
“Because you have the most to lose,” Evan says. “You might have another seventy years in this body. You haven’t frozen your beliefs, attitudes, and habits yet. You’re still exploring. That makes you powerful—and vulnerable. Teens are prime targets for fake schools, rebellion, disobedience, and destructive chaos energy.”
“I’ve got time,” Diesel mutters. “I’ll think about all this when I’m older.”
“You’re assuming your body and brain will stay fresh,” Evan says. “Addictions, junk food, trauma, injuries—they all chip away at your clarity and self‑control. Around thirteen, your stored karma and old personality patterns start to unfold. How you handle what comes can speed up or slow down the process. You can move forward fast if you know how to transmute past mistakes instead of stacking new ones on top.”
Diesel makes a face. “So I’m just supposed to be good and never have fun?”
“Fun isn’t the problem,” Evan says. “Your parents, guardians, and spiritual sponsors try to project protective force fields around you. But unwise, unvirtuous choices—thoughts, feelings, actions—shatter those fields. Once they’re cracked, dark forces can get in.”
Diesel shrugs. “I’m just a young teen,” he says. “I’m not aware of any ‘dark forces,’ so they can’t hurt me. It’s simple: I don’t believe in them, so they don’t exist for me. And I’m no threat to them. Why would they waste their time attacking me?”
“Because youth carries a strong flow of life energy,” Evan says. “Teens make excellent ‘feeders.’ The Serpent—that’s what some of us call the main dark force—slithers through holes in your aura from rebellion, drugs, alcohol. Its poison spreads quickly in blind, unprotected teens. The inky blackness swirling around them acts like an infection. It jumps to friends, family and strangers. Those teens become like chickens or dairy cows—feeding the Serpent and its followers without ever knowing it.”
Rev groans. “Remind me never to go on a double date with you,” he says. “You’d scare my date away.”
Diesel laughs. “I’ll double date with you,” he tells Evan. “Next to your crazy speeches, I’ll look charming.”
Abby watches Evan with a different expression—thoughtful, almost soft. “Girls are attracted to wise, virtuous guys,” she says quietly. “They make better husbands than addicts and criminals. I’d be happy to date Evan.”
The room falls into an uneasy silence. Somewhere beyond the school walls, something unseen seems to lean closer, listening.
Evan stands in a crowded hallway handing out fliers for a new club titled "Afterlife Options," drawing in a small group of classmates—Diesel, Abby, and Rev—into an empty classroom to discuss what happens to the soul after death. While Diesel assumes he will simply vanish and Abby insists on an automatic, grace-based paradise where a Savior pays all debts, Evan explains that planning for an eternity of millions of years is far more crucial than planning for a standard retirement. He introduces the fundamental paths of the soul—Dissolve, Revolve, or Evolve—explaining that souls who fail to store virtuous energy disintegrate, while revolving souls remain stuck on the wheel of karma in "karmic school" until they actively choose "soul school" to master Holy Spirit energy. The group debates the nature of energy as earning, saving, and spending money, and critiques the illusion that one can rely on an external Savior to permanently carry unwashed karmic debt without personal accountability.
The Three Afterlife Paths (Dissolve, Revolve, Evolve): Souls face three ultimate trajectories upon death: disintegration into cosmic dust due to a lack of virtuous energy ("Dissolve"), returning to physical re-embodiment to continue learning in karmic school ("Revolve"), or graduating into full-time existence in the mystic world through spiritual mastery ("Evolve").
The Trap of Karmic Default: Every human is automatically enrolled in an afterlife-training school while alive; failing to actively choose "soul school" defaults the individual into the "school of karmic hard knocks" or "fake school," repeating cycles for thousands of years.
Energy as Currency (Get, Have, Spend): Mystic energy flows in three stages analogous to money, requiring souls to generate a steady incoming flow of clean Holy Spirit light through discipline and wise choices rather than expecting unearned handouts.
The Fallacy of Proxy Salvation: Relying entirely on an external Savior to eternally carry unwashed karmic debt without personal transmutation or spiritual labor leaves a soul's energy imprisoned and unprepared for a higher, perfect realm.
Evan: The club leader and discussion guide who introduces the afterlife fliers, defines the three soul paths, and challenges his peers to think beyond conventional religious dogmas.
Diesel: A skeptical classmate who initially claims he will simply vanish into nothingness and resists the idea of spiritual accountability or afterlife planning.
Abby: A student clinging to traditional, grace-based beliefs about an instant afterlife ticket and a Savior who carries all karmic debts without requiring personal soul schooling.
Rev: An analytical classmate who explores the logic of reincarnation, soul schooling, and the mechanics of spiritual energy flow.
