785 | Afterlife Values

As Evan and Mom discuss the value of virtues and divine love, late-afternoon light pours across the backyard like molten metal. Evan Sweeney stares out the kitchen window and ignores his buzzing phone. Memes, short videos, and fights in the group chat all blur into background noise behind the louder storm in his head. He drums his fingers on the table, then looks up at his mom.

“I’m still confused about the value of virtues,” Evan says. His voice comes out tight, like he is trying not to sound pissed. “We live in this fantasy world of compromise where almost anything is acceptable. The new trend is ‘freedom’ to self‑define a fluid set of morals and values and force everyone else to accept who they—who they, or ze, or it—claim to be.”

He hears his own cynicism and hates it. But it feels true. Online, everything is negotiable. Everything is branding.

His mom sets her mug down and really looks at him. She doesn’t flinch.

“Evan,” she says, “soul school is about getting, having, and spending your wise and virtuous powers. Your soul gains virtues by acquiring divine qualities that match a standard of excellence.”

Evan leans back, folding his arms. Virtue. The word feels like it belongs in some old sermon. Dusty, judgy, and out of date.

Mom continues, calm but firm. “Your soul already has these seeds of perfection,” she says, “because you are made in the image and likeness of the Divine. When the soul creates the illusion of being separate from all‑oneness, it leaves some of those virtues out of its chosen dreamworld. That isolated little sphere of selfish freedom blocks divine principles from playing through your care‑actor.”

Evan blinks. “My… care‑actor?” he repeats.

She smiles faintly. “The part of you that acts out what you care about.”

His brain scrambles to catch up. Illusion. Separation. Dreamworld. He feels like he’s inside one of those banned philosophy videos he streams on mirror sites at 2 a.m.

“What actually is a virtue?” Evan finally asks.

Mom’s eyes soften like he just unlocked a secret level. “All the virtues combined inside,” she says, “like ingredients in a blender, give a good definition of divine love. The rainbow‑colored flames of divine love are the degrees of perfection called virtues. They shape a character who can radiate divine love by caring deeply about something. Virtues dress the energy we send out through our thoughts and feelings. They decorate it with goodness. When we line up with a standard of excellence, we weave divine grace into our actions and give them cosmic value.”

Evan imagines a blender full of liquid light—gold, deep blue, crimson, white—whirling into one bright stream. It’s beautiful. It’s also completely useless for passing math. He exhales.

“What happens if we don’t get, have, and use virtues?” Evan asks. “How do we get punished? Isn’t our Creator supposed to be all‑forgiving?”

Mom’s eyes crinkle, but she does not laugh. “Virtues have vibrational frequency,” she says. “Like sounds. Like colors. Imagine trying to paint a picture with half the colors missing. Imagine playing a song on a piano with most of the keys gone. Imagine trying to speak in a foreign language when you know only a few words. Missing virtues are like missing colors, notes, and words. You can’t paint a blazing sun without yellow. You can’t make a blue sky without blue.”

Evan pictures reaching for a color that isn’t there—hitting a piano key that makes no sound. His stomach tightens.

“You aren’t punished when most of the piano keys are missing,” Mom says. “But it feels like torture trying to play a song. Virtues empower you. Lacking virtues cripples you.”

The word lands like a weight. He thinks of kids at school stuck in the same fights, the same drama loops, the same online meltdowns—like they’re trying to play instruments with half the strings broken.

“What happens when we collect corruption and immorality instead of virtues?” Evan asks. “What happens when we just do whatever we want and act imperfectly on purpose?”

He already knows part of the answer. He still wants to hear it said out loud.

Chapter 2: Evan and Mom Discuss Vices and How Immorality Corrupts the Soul

While Evan and Mom discuss vices and how immorality corrupts the soul, Mom doesn’t answer right away. The fridge hums, traffic murmurs in the distance, and Evan can hear his own heartbeat in his ears.

“There are virtues,” Mom says at last, “and there are vices—or anti‑virtues.”

Anti‑virtues. The word makes him think of glitching avatars and corrupted files.

“Thoughts, feelings, and actions without virtue,” she continues, “are cold and bland. Not much energy. Not much emotion. But thoughts, feelings, and actions fueled by malice, wickedness, and viciousness attract more vile energy.”

Evan knows that look. Anonymous hate accounts. Group chats where people rip each other apart for entertainment. That sharp little smile some bullies wear when someone else flinches.

“Selfish indulgence might get the actor what they want in the short run,” Mom says, “but it builds layers of unholy blemishes around the soul’s exterior. Vices create clinging, encrusted barnacles of sinful debauchery that only the soul can remove. These hard‑shell coverings encase the soul and limit its growth and expansion beyond illusion.”

Evan pictures it—a glowing sphere—someone’s core—sailing through a dark sea. At first, it’s smooth and bright. Then every selfish act, every cruelty, clings to it as a jagged, barnacle‑like lump of shadow. Over time, the light disappears under a black crust.

“Immorality thickens these toxic walls,” Mom says quietly, “and pollutes the energy the soul radiates. Corrupt actions that might start from a good place become laced with wickedness, uncertainty, and flaws—and often fail. Playing a song on an out‑of‑tune piano produces sour notes and disharmony. The corrupted layers around the soul throw it out of tune with the divine will. The soul has to re‑tune that energy to radiate virtues again.”

A pressure builds in Evan’s chest. He remembers words he has thrown just to hurt. Arguments he has replayed in his head until anger was all he could hear.

“Ugh,” he mutters. “I need a soul‑shower.”

Mom smiles, but there’s exhaustion around the edges. “The good news,” she says, “is that charging your soul with holy energy produces a fiery light. It can blaze through and re‑tune the inharmonious vibrations encasing the soul.”

He sees it: white‑gold fire pouring through dark barnacles, cracking them, burning them away. Liquid lightning swirls through old scars until the sphere shines smooth again.

“Playing a properly tuned piano,” Mom says, “fills the musician with the right frequency for each note and lets them create perfect music. Professionals tune their instruments before playing together so everyone is in harmony.”

Evan taps the table like it’s a keyboard. “It feels like people already know vices and addictions wreck them,” he says slowly, “but they ignore the obvious consequences and still do whatever they want. Why choose to be that foolish?”

Chapter 3: Evan and Mom Discuss How Caring Fuels Virtues and Drugs Cancel Caring

As Evan and Mom discuss how caring fuels virtues and drugs cancel caring, Mom laces her fingers together, weighing her words. “They don’t care about their future selves,” she says. “They don’t care about their souls.”

Evan thinks of kids in the parking lot laughing, saying stuff like, I’m not making it past twenty‑five anyway, smoke curling around their words.

“All virtues and vices grow from caring about something,” Mom continues. “Human desire is a lower form of divine love—of caring. Caring is fuel for motivation. Interest, intention, motivation—they all come from caring. The more someone cares, the more active, vibrant, and energized they are.”

She holds his gaze. “Marijuana makes people not care,” she says flatly. “Drugs distort and cancel caring. All anti‑virtues grow from human attachment to desires and intentions.”

Evan flinches. He smells the stadium bleachers in his mind and hears the too‑loud laughs that sound hollow underneath.

“I know what you mean,” Evan says. “So many students obsess over one or two things and don’t care about anything else. I feel like they’re missing a hundred chances to actually succeed.”

Mom snaps her fingers softly. “Ding,” she says. “You win the prize. Caring is the starting point of both virtues and vices. The soul receives care through spiritual bonding with something—expressed in thoughts, feelings, and actions. The soul feeds that connection, creating a mystical glow around it.”

Evan imagines bright threads of light stretching from his chest to the stuff he actually cares about: his friends, his sketchbook, the planet and the idea that life is supposed to mean something.

“Wisdom is called in,” Mom says, “to decide if that interest is proper or improper. Caring opens a valve that releases energy toward virtues or vices. Souls use that surge of energy to act appropriately—or inappropriately. A soul’s interests push it to virtuous action. Flip the switch, and caring twists into fear, anger, or hate.”

Her voice sharpens. “This isn’t yin‑yang balance,” she says. “It’s a choice about what kind of caring you do. Possessive over‑attachment spins out as criticism, condemnation, fear, or revenge.”

Evan grimaces. He has watched group chats turn from “justice” to “revenge” in under sixty seconds.

“Sometimes other students act like they’re not in control of themselves,” Evan says quietly. Hallway flashes run through his mind: someone smashed into a locker, another person laughing way too hard, a teacher looking away on purpose.

Chapter 4: Evan and Mom Discuss False Teachers and Ignorance of the Soul

While Evan and Mom discuss false teachers and ignorance of the soul, Mom’s expression darkens as a cloud passes over it. “Devilish false teachers try to divide and conquer souls,” she says. “Those living in ignorance build thick, spiritless clouds around themselves that block out cosmic Truth and reality. They stop paying attention. They see enemies everywhere, feel attacked and controlled by everything. Their self‑made fog blurs their future. Their ignorance of reality cuts them off from caring about their souls’ future.”

Evan thinks of certain adults online who are always screaming about secret plots while ignoring obvious harm.

“That’s my History teacher,” he says. “She says everything is just random accidents. We’re all being carried through chaos by mistakes. Nothing is sacred. Everything is ‘relative to the observer.’”

His voice rises. “Can I drop that class?” he demands. “It feels like I’m being programmed to expect failure. When I challenge her, she calls me rebellious and sends me to the principal.”

Mom actually smiles. “Good for you,” she says. “Keep going. I’ll excuse you if you don’t get a good grade in History. You’re probably in that class to serve a divine purpose—as a warrior for Truth.”

Warrior for Truth. The phrase hits something in him.

“Most students respect her as this big expert,” he says. “But she’s layered in false beliefs that poison everything she teaches. I got sent to the office for laughing at how wrong she was.”

He remembers the stunned silence. The way she looked at him was like he stepped out of line in a script.

“I don’t think she has a soul,” Evan says bluntly. “She doesn’t know or care about her soul’s past, present, or future. Do the fallen ones purposely plant soulless people in schools to mislead students away from Truth and away from caring about their souls?”

“Absolutely,” Mom says. “It’s a hidden secret—but very obvious if you watch closely.”

A chill moves through him. “Why don’t people care about cosmic Truth and their soul’s past, present, and future?” Evan asks. He is not just talking about his teacher anymore. He is talking about almost everyone.

Chapter 5: Evan and Mom Discuss the Spiritual Battle and the Illusion of Separation

As Evan and Mom discuss the spiritual battle and the illusion of separation, Mom’s gaze goes distant, like she is watching something he can’t see. “Divine love is a battle,” she says slowly. “A battle between oppression and inspiration. When you care about something, you create a point of vulnerability. That’s where you can be attacked.”

It feels like a bruise. Every time he has cared—about climate strikes, unfair rules, bullying—pushback has come fast.

“Caring with human attachment makes you vulnerable to oppression,” Mom continues. “Oppression presses against what you care about, trying to make you give up and stop caring.”

He remembers the phrase: "Pick your battles." You can’t save everyone. Let it go.

“Fighting back virtuously against oppression,” she says, “builds stronger virtues, power, and character. Caring creates a stance—a wall. That wall is your protective boundary. That’s your frontline. If you have no frontline, your soul isn’t engaged in the battle between light and darkness. When there’s no caring, there’s no inspiration to fight back.”

Evan imagines a glowing line around him. Every time he says, This matters, the line burns brighter. Every attack slams into that line and either cracks it—or forges it.

“There is always opposition,” Mom says. “If you are not in a battle, you live in fantasyland. Caring creates warriors. The fallen ones promote carefree living. They like people—but those people never radiate divine love.”

He thinks of posters shouting YOLO, of ads selling numbness as freedom.

“Marijuana pushes people into a carefree fantasyland,” Mom says. “Only warriors can push back against a wall of pressure. Warriors need cosmic Truth to spot enemy tactics. Enemy oppression only exists inside our illusion of separation.”

Images snap into place in his mind. Invisible pressure waves shove against every student. Thin walls of light push back—or collapse.

“The soul made a limited sphere,” she says, “to be carefree and have fun. That outer shell creates a sense of being separate from everything else. The Fallen try to shrink that sphere. When the boundary expands, the soul becomes more virtuous and conscious. The Fallen want to press, to shrink your boundary, to crush your virtues. They want to twist definitions of virtue so their vibration becomes inharmonious. False teachers try to thicken the shell so the soul can’t see past its own prison walls.”

Evan stares at the ceiling. He pictures a glowing sphere squeezed from outside by dark hands—and pushed from inside by thin, stubborn flames.

“You say we live in an illusion of separation from our perfect self,” he says slowly. “So is this battle of good and evil also just some unreal fantasy? If the Creator can only make perfection, how does evil even exist?”

He doesn’t say it to win an argument. He says it because if the war is fake, why does it hurt so much?

“That’s a hard question,” Mom admits. “An imperfect world doesn’t mean it can’t exist. Having a fantasy consciousness doesn’t mean a soul lives only in an imaginary dream. The reality is still there; it just isn’t recognized. There is an actual battle of light and darkness. The dreamworld souls create is just a way to hide the confrontation. Denying immorality, negativity, and our shadow self doesn’t make them vanish.”

Something in Evan shifts. A small click. Like a lock starting to turn.

Chapter 6: Evan and Mom Discuss All-Oneness and the Need for Spiritual Help

Before Evan and Mom discuss all-oneness and the need for spiritual help the next day, that night, Evan scrolls half-heartedly through the group chat. Someone posts, Everything happens for a reason. Someone else replies, Nothing matters; it’s all chaos, deal with it. He drops the phone on his chest and stares at the dark ceiling. He has met people—online, at retreats, at weird youth events—who say, We are all one.

The next day at the table, he picks up where his thoughts leave off.

“I’ve met people who say all life is connected,” Evan says. “They say we’re in this ocean of universal love. Evil can’t exist because all‑oneness makes it impossible for one part of the whole to hurt another part. Anything that looks evil is just cycles inside cycles. Everything has a cosmic purpose—even if we’re too disconnected to get it. A drop in the ocean can’t disconnect from the ocean or turn against it.”

Mom listens, then shakes her head slightly. “People stuck in all‑oneness don’t become Warriors,” she says. “They have no frontline. No enemy. All is one, so they accept everything. They have many virtues—but they can’t see the big picture. False teachers convince them to be all‑forgiving and turn off their discernment about oppression.”

Evan thinks of influencers preaching positivity while neighborhoods burn.

“Their foolish beliefs make them perfect targets for the fallen ones,” Mom continues. “Those fallen ones keep feeding them more false ideas and blind spots. These people tell themselves they don’t need to care about their soul’s past, present, or future because the universe will ‘unfold perfectly.’ ‘Let it be. Just wait and see. Everything will be alright,” she sings, lightly mocking.

He winces. He has heard that tone a million times when adults do not want to deal with real pain.

“Okay,” Evan says. “You’ve convinced me I have enemies. How do I make them go away?”

“You can’t,” Mom says.

He blinks. “Fine. Then how do I destroy them?”

“You can’t,” she repeats.

“So I’m supposed to surrender and become best friends with them?” he snaps.

“That would be foolish,” she says calmly.

He pushes his chair back. “You’re not helping!”

A glint of amusement flashes in her eyes. “I’m waiting for you to ask the right question,” she says.

He groans. “Give me a hint,” he says. “I need help.”

“Ding,” Mom says softly. “You need help from forces more powerful than your soul to defeat your unseen enemies. If you try to fight them alone, you lose. You must seek help—and earn the assistance of cosmic beings, graduated masters, and true mystic teachers.”

Evan frowns. “They’re the good guys,” he says. “Their help should be automatic.”

Mom shakes her head. “This is where understanding cosmic Truth matters,” she says. “The good guys only help souls who radiate more virtuous light than immoral thoughts and feelings. Souls lost in selfish fantasyland don’t get help from the real teachers.”

Evan chews on that. “That sounds backward,” he says. “The ones who need the most help don’t get it. How do lost souls ever become virtuous again?”

“Maybe they don’t,” Mom says bluntly. “They chose to separate from their perfect selves and waste their light in a carefree dreamworld. They misuse more than half their daily energy, so their incoming divine energy gets reduced.”

A cold shiver runs down his spine. “Like a battery that drains faster every day,” he murmurs. “Headed for extinction.” “What about the all‑forgiving, merciful Creator?” he asks. “Does Hh just watch and let that happen?”

“These souls deliberately reject being in the Creator’s presence,” Mom says. “They wall themselves off from the universe. Their selfishness hardens into a crust that blocks outside help.”

Evan looks down at his hands. “You make it sound depressing and hopeless,” he says.

Mom leans forward. “However,” she says—and the word feels like a door cracking open—“a merciful solution is built into the plan. Their negative returning karma becomes their new teacher. The consequences of their immoral actions boomerang back, hammering them toward reform. It doesn’t always work—but karma is the last‑resort teacher of virtues. They drop out of soul school and end up in the school of hard knocks. Life itself tries to pound common sense into them.”

Evan stares at the wood grain in the table, imagining dark arrows of energy shooting out of people and curving back around like homing missiles.

“To sum it up,” he says, “my soul has hidden enemies more powerful than I am. I have to push back against their oppression—but not alone. I need help from graduated masters, and to connect with them, I have to clear out my false beliefs and fantasy illusions.”

Mom nods once. In his chest, the whole thing stops feeling like a lecture—and starts feeling like a quest.

Part 2

Chapter 7: Evan and Mom Discuss the Universal Cosmic Force and Mystic Light

While Evan and Mom discuss the universal cosmic force and mystic light, rain taps against the window like fingers as the conversation shifts. Evan feels like they’ve crossed some invisible line. Now they are talking about the engine underneath everything.

“All worlds depend on the universal cosmic force,” Mom says. “This flowing mystic light is the basic building block of the universe. The Holy Spirit’s essence can flow like a stream, travel like a ray, or crystallize into matter.”

Evan pictures one substance moving through three forms—water, laser, crystal—same power, new shape.

“This magical ingredient builds and energizes atoms,” Mom continues. “I’m not talking about tiny electrochemical reactions in the brain. I mean real, powerful cosmic light. Let’s call a single lump of this energy an erg. Each erg can vibrate at different frequencies and be charged with positive or negative qualities.”

In his mind, tiny motes of light—ergs—swirl in and out of people’s auras, shifting color when charged by thoughts or feelings.

“Human false beliefs don’t change each erg’s current tuning,” Mom says. “Like water: hot or cold, clean or dirty, solid, liquid, or gas—it’s still water. Virtues or immorality change the qualities of each erg the soul sends out. Immorality lowers the frequency and warps the vibration. When you charge this mystic light with anger, hatred, or fear, you temporarily qualify it with imperfection. That corrupted energy drifts toward similar low‑vibration energy and forms floating cesspools of negativity.”

Evan imagines black clouds hanging over the school, built from unprocessed rage and fear, tugging at anyone who walks beneath them.

“Souls whose daily portion of fresh mystic light is reduced,” Mom says, “often tap into these dark pools and reuse that energy—even though it’s polluted.”

“I’ve heard it called prana or chi,” Evan says. “Star Wars calls it the Force. This is the most important thing in the universe—and no teacher at school talks about it.”

“A good point,” Mom says. “I wonder why.”

Evan snorts. “Well,” he says, “scientists can’t see it, measure it, or store it. They don’t believe the Holy Spirit’s essence exists, so we’re not allowed to mention it in public. Talking about the universe’s Lego blocks is only allowed in churches and spiritual groups.”

“Have you ever seen a zombie, vampire, or superhero?” Mom asks.

“Only in movies and comics,” Evan says. “But teachers talk about them.”

“They’re fantasy,” Mom says. “So is most of what people think about angels—naked, chubby babies with wings.”

Evan snorts again.

“The spiritual world is labeled mysterious and unknowable,” Mom goes on. “‘We’ll find out about Heaven when we get there.’”

Evan drums his fingers on the table. “What’s the big secret?” he asks. “Why avoid learning what happens after we die?”

The question hangs in the air like fog.

Chapter 8: Evan and Mom Discuss Divine Warriors and Dealing with Bullies

As Evan and Mom discuss divine warriors and dealing with bullies, they realize souls are in school to learn how to use mystical light properly. “The shadow side does everything it can to stop them,” Mom says. “The dark ones don’t want souls becoming spiritual warriors who can fight back.”

Evan pictures high school as a secret training camp where almost nobody knows what they’re being trained for.

“Divine warriors have to be careful,” Mom says. “They can only use positive energy in their struggles against oppression. Energy filled with virtues pushes back against oppression, neutralizes the malevolence, and re‑tunes the inharmonious frequency.”

“So when enemies attack me, it hurts,” Evan says. “It feels worse when they seem to be winning—and there’s not much I can do to fight back virtuously. Being oppressed gives my ego an excuse to think ugly thoughts and feel ugly emotions. Pressure builds up, and it takes all my discipline not to explode.”

He knows that feeling too well—the pressure wave of anger rising in his chest, hunting for a target.

“Bullies at school attack with anger, hatred, lies, and intimidation,” he adds. “They want people scared of them.”

Mom tilts her head. “Do they bother you?” she asks.

“Not yet,” Evan says. “I’m glad I took that self‑defense class.”

He remembers the snap of a perfect block, the surge of calm that comes from knowing he is not helpless.

“When I told the principal about bullies harassing my friend,” he says, “she barely reacted. She said telling their violent parents would only make things worse. ‘Bullies are just working out their feelings in a safe, friendly environment,’ she said. ‘Think of being bullied as practice for the real adult world. Bullies are a gift to help the weak grow stronger.’”

Mom’s jaw tightens. “How things have changed,” she murmurs.

A dark red anger rises in Evan, brushes his ribs, then fades as he watches it instead of feeding it. He realizes every emotion is a clue: which spiral he’s feeding, up or down.

Chapter 9: Evan and Mom Discuss Emotional Rollercoasters and Negative Energy Parasites

While Evan and Mom discuss emotional rollercoasters and negative energy parasites, Evan thinks about his friends' swinging moods. “I watch some of my friends ride constant emotional rollercoasters,” Evan says. “Their lives swing from depressing lows to out‑of‑control highs. Then they crash into lazy numbness.”

He thinks of late‑night texts: I’m done. I can’t do this anymore. And then three days of silence.

“I don’t hang out with them much,” he admits. “They want everything to revolve around their tragedies. They want everyone to listen while they complain about the latest disaster. Their negativity infects people around them. Their out‑of‑tune thoughts and feelings chew them up from the inside, so they slap on a fake smile and cover their fear and frustration.”

In his mind, their auras are storm clouds—lightning bursts of anger, sheets of rain, then forced sunshine.

“Sometimes I imagine dark spirits manipulating them,” Evan says. “Shadow‑suckers controlling their thoughts and feelings, tricking them into another financial or social disaster. Those rollercoaster students spend more time being un‑virtuous than virtuous. They get high off outbursts and fits of rage. They like being treacherous, dishonest, and vengeful. They would make amazing spiritual warriors if they ever channeled that intensity into being thoughtful, kind, and positive.”

“You’re smart to observe from a distance,” Mom says. “Negativity is very contagious. It destroys discipline. Self‑control takes a lot of positive willpower.”

“Sometimes I feel like a coward for not helping them,” Evan admits. “Some of them want to be my friends, but it feels unsafe. Their pet energy leeches want to jump on my back and feed on my strength. Those parasites trigger instant emotional reactions before my brain can catch up. Their misqualified spiritual light overpowers their common sense.”

He sees them clearly now—eel‑like shadows leaping from one aura to another, latching onto bright centers and pulsing with stolen glow.

“I think the best you can do,” Mom says, “is be a bright example of caring about your soul and keeping your aura full of positive light. They will see your balanced attitude, appreciate your consistent peacefulness, and notice your wise decisions and mindful actions.”

Evan scrunches up his face. “Gee, thanks,” he says. “Put that on my resume.”

They both laugh. Underneath the joke, a thin golden warmth spreads in his chest—small but stubborn, like a pilot light he refuses to let go out.

Chapter 10: Evan Journals About Virtues, Negative Feelings, and Enemy Tactics

As Evan journals about virtues, negative feelings, and enemy tactics, school keeps roaring—tests, bell schedules, bright screens in dark hallways. Days pass. But now Evan sees hidden wiring under everything.

One evening he sits at his desk, journaling. Contaminated sun centers emit polluted light, he writes, casting dark shadows of delusion, confusion, anger, and doubt.

The words sound dramatic. They also feel accurate. Energy filled with corruption, fear, hate, or fantasy is dense and heavy, he adds. Negative energy feeds and strengthens the shadow side.

He imagines that energy as tar—slow, sticky, clinging to anyone who steps in it.

On a fresh page, he writes: For those who care, the shadow tries to twist their feelings into negativity and hopelessness. Some are tricked into fighting against virtue to protect their selfish freedom. They care about the wrong things. Their intentions and motives get perverted.

His pen moves faster. Divine inspiration creates an upward inner spiral of Holy Spirit energy from a mesh of virtues streaming into the soul. Virtuous excellence leads upward toward perfection. Corrupted imperfection spirals downward into failure and loss.

He closes his eyes and sees it. Inside each person, a spiral of light—either widening upward in bright loops or narrowing down into a dark funnel.

Virtues are components of divine will, he writes. Each virtue is a voice of some divine quality, holding a flaming aspect of perfection. When I spend energy charged with a virtue, I’m sending out a perfect ray of sunlight.

For a moment, he sees himself surrounded by pillars of different‑colored fire—courage red, compassion rose‑gold, truth icy blue—each one feeding his actions.

Then he flips to another page: Negative Feelings. I get angry, fearful, and hateful, he admits. That feeds negative emotions. Accepting depression is giving up my virtues.

The sentence stings. He knows depression isn’t always a choice. But he also feels the temptation to stop fighting, to stop caring. And he understands what Mom means.

Caring and attachment open the door for negative feelings when what we care about gets attacked, abused, or stolen, he writes. The opposite—not caring—is worse, because then there are no feelings at all. We share when we care, not when we don’t.

He thinks of how easy apathy is—and how dangerous.

Souls are easily tricked into immoral actions when drugs weaken them, he adds. Layers of drama, trauma, and regret can cling to the soul for many lifetimes, adding dark coatings around it.

He underlines many lifetimes. The idea that this fight doesn’t end at graduation—or at death—terrifies him. It also pushes him to take it more seriously.

Chapter 11: Evan and Mom Discuss the Seven Sacred Sun Centers and Negative Energy

While Evan and Mom discuss the seven sacred sun centers and negative energy the next night, they sit at the table again. A single candle burns between them.

“Our souls have seven sacred sun centers,” Mom says, “that radiate light from the Holy Spirit—or from recycled energy you’ve already misused.”

Evan imagines seven spinning spheres along a spine, each one a tiny sun shining a different color.

“What exactly is negative energy?” he asks. “Is there still pure light at the center of those atoms?”

He needs to know if anything is truly beyond saving.

“Karma, commitments, beliefs, and past trauma shape how pure a virtue is,” Mom answers. “All of that weaves into swirling, layered, colored fire that produces light beams. We glow from the light we radiate. The frequency of that light is tuned through virtues—or through negative feelings.”

She gestures around his head, tracing an invisible halo.

“Divine love is the highest frequency,” she says. “Virtuous caring is focused light aimed at specific targets.”

He imagines a focused beam from his chest wrapping around someone in warmth without choking them.

“Power,” she goes on. “The power to get, have, and use mystic abilities. Divine will includes virtues, Truth, wisdom, creative power, and the Holy Spirit, all flowing as light.”

She pulls out one of Evan’s lists—a kind of vocabulary sheet for the shadow side. As she reads words like vileness, degeneracy, cowardice, apathy, wickedness, he doesn’t just hear them. He sees them—as jagged shapes, empty hollows, gray fogs, heavy chains. Each word is an energy pattern. Each pattern is a choice.

Chapter 12: Evan and Dad Discuss the Soul Path Using a Hiking Analogy

As Evan and Dad discuss the soul path using a hiking analogy one Saturday, Dad joins them. The conversation shifts from cosmic mechanics to something more concrete.

“You can see cooperation and sharing in everyday life,” Dad says. “Like when you go on a hike with friends. First, you decide which path to take. The most experienced hiker chooses, or you can brainstorm. Either way, once you decide, everyone has to line up their willpower to follow that path.”

Evan remembers a real hike—the argument at the fork in the trail.

“There are still lots of decisions to make,” Dad continues. “How fast to walk. When to stop. If the path is wide, you can walk side by side.”

“On narrow trails, we can take turns leading and set the pace,” Evan says. “We can split the food into different daypacks, or have the strongest person carry it. Whoever gets hungry first usually decides when lunch happens.”

Dad nods. “At some point, the weakest hiker gets tired,” he says, “and the others have to support and encourage him. Eventually, the group might have to turn back. A shared adventure requires discipline and commitment to a single way. If the leader misses a trail marker and wanders off, the others can call him back and show him the right way.”

“There’s still personal freedom,” Evan says. “I can look around, talk, or walk in silence.”

“Everyone’s commitment to the same path keeps you united,” Dad says. “Soul students who choose the divine path share a bond with others going in the same direction and toward the same goal.”

Evan feels the warmth of that picture. Then he feels how cold it gets when someone leaves.

“The fun is ruined if one hiker leaves the path and gets lost,” he says. “Then everyone wastes time figuring out what happened. Some want to abandon the lost ones. ‘It’s their fault. Let them suffer.’ Others say, ‘I care about my friends. It’s our duty to try to save them.”

Dad’s expression grows serious. “Tough questions,” he says. “What happened on your hike?”

“We guessed the missing ones turned back early,” Evan says. “No one ever saw or heard from them again. They disappeared into outer darkness.”

He hears his own words and understands they’re not just about trees and trails.

“This happens when souls leave the divine path and do whatever they want,” Dad says quietly.

Outer darkness is not just a forest at night. It’s a soul without a path. Without a group.

Chapter 13: Evan Journals About Leadership, Harmony, and Ignoring the Afterlife

While Evan journals about leadership, harmony, and ignoring the afterlife later, Dad adds that there's harmony when a person or group chooses someone to lead. “There’s still individual will, but everyone agrees on the goals. There’s no harmony when a dictator crushes everyone else’s thoughts, feelings, and direction.”

Evan thinks of school admins, governments and even friend groups with one loud bully calling all the shots.

Later, alone in his room, he writes again. I used to have premonitions, he admits on paper, but people didn’t believe me. Bad things happened anyway. After that, I refused to pay attention to dreams, visions, or hints about the future. I don’t want to know what’s going to happen. Surprise me.

He recognizes that same attitude in others—and in parts of himself.

I don’t care what happens after my body dies, he writes next. I don’t want to think about it. It just upsets and confuses me. I’ll wait and find out when it happens. Like with a baby—I don’t want to know anything until it’s born. It takes all my energy to worry about my life now. I don’t even want to stretch into my earthly future. It’s too much trouble to think about my afterlife. I’m just trying to make it through the week. I’m human. I can’t do anything about spiritual stuff now. My afterlife is far away and will take care of itself.

He stares at the sentences. He realizes those aren’t random thoughts. They are enemy tactics.

Outside his window, the sky shifts from blue to gold to gray. Inside, between his questions and his parents’ fierce, strange answers, a different kind of light gathers—thin at first, then slowly, almost invisibly, growing brighter. Somewhere just beyond his senses, unseen forces move. Shadows press in. Golden spirals push back. A frontline forms around a teenage boy who finally understands that his confusion is not a flaw. It is the opening move in a war he is just beginning to see.

Chapter Synopsis:

Evan and his mother engage in a deep discussion about the true value of virtues, divine love, and spiritual evolution, contrasting the modern trend of fluid morals with the cosmic reality of soul school. They explore how virtues act like missing piano keys or colors, where lacking them cripples spiritual expression, while vices and immorality encrust the soul with "barnacles" of shadow energy that pollute its radiation. Later, Evan learns about the mechanics of caring, the dangers of false teachers and media-driven ignorance, the illusion of separation, and the absolute necessity of seeking help from graduated masters and cosmic forces rather than fighting spiritual battles alone. Finally, through conversations with his mother and father about physical limits, hiking analogies, and the management of auras, Evan realizes that spiritual confusion is not a flaw, but the opening move in an invisible war for light.

Core Themes & Laws:

The Power of Virtues: Virtues act as the building blocks of divine love and character, providing the "musical keys" or "colors" necessary to radiate light and give actions cosmic value.

Vices and Spiritual Barnacles: Selfish indulgence and immorality wrap the soul in encrusted, shadow-like barnacles of corrupt energy that inhibit spiritual growth and require conscious transmutation.

Caring as the Foundation: Caring is the fuel for all motivation, grounding both virtues and vices; however, ungrounded attachments or substances (like marijuana) can distort or cancel caring entirely.

The Need for Divine Assistance: Souls cannot overcome powerful unseen Tempters or clear deep karmic debts alone; they must actively seek and earn the assistance of graduated masters and universal cosmic forces.
