782 | Abby and Evan Discuss Family in the Afterlife and Mystic Powers

Chapter 1: Abby, Rev, Diesel, and Evan Discuss Parents in Heaven and Hell

As Abby, Rev, Diesel, and Evan discuss parents in Heaven and Hell, late‑afternoon sunlight slants across the school courtyard, turning the concrete gold.

Most students stream toward buses and cars, voices rising and fading in waves. Near the old oak tree, four friends claim their usual zone: a bench, a patch of grass, and just enough privacy to say dangerous things.

Abby sits upright on the bench, a thick, Bible‑sized notebook on her lap, pages bristling with sticky tabs. Rev lies in the grass at her feet, hands laced behind his head, staring up at the branches. Diesel leans against the tree, earbuds hanging loose, one shoe scraping half‑circles into the dirt. Evan sits cross‑legged, back to the bench, quietly reading their faces like they’re a group chat.

Abby looks at a verse she’s highlighted, swallows, then shuts the notebook with a soft thump.

“Relationships are huge for Absolvers,” Abby says. “We get one body. One set of parents. That’s it.”

She feels that familiar squeeze in her chest—part love, part terror.

“I’m commanded to honor my one mother and one father forever,” Abby continues, “because I owe my one physical body and soul to their act of conceiving me.”

She lifts her chin.

“Honestly,” she says, “we should celebrate conception day instead of birthdays. That’s when body and soul begin.”

Rev snorts from the grass.

“Over time, I’ve had like a thousand birthdays and conception days,” Rev says. “Excuse to party every day.”

Abby glares down at him.

“You are obviously mistaken,” Abby says. “The commandment does not say ‘honor your mothers and fathers.’ It says your father and your mother. Singular.”

She straightens, eyes bright.

“As a child of this one man and one woman,” she says, “I’m bound to respect, admire, revere—” she stumbles on the word “—worship and appreciate them forever. They’ll still be my parents in Heaven. They both get equal eternal credit for giving me life—even if Dad bails right after the… contribution.”

Her voice cracks on that last part.

She looks away.

“Sometimes,” Abby adds more quietly, “it’s hard to honor someone you don’t actually respect. But the rule is clear. Whoever gives the sperm is your father. Forever.”

Diesel flicks a rock with his shoe, watching it skitter across the concrete.

“Okay,” Diesel says. “So what if one or both parents don’t make it to Heaven?”

Abby freezes.

She’s never let herself think that all the way through.

“Oh my,” Abby says fast. “I’m not allowed to question what Heaven’s like for people whose parents don’t get a ticket.”

She clutches her notebook as if it can block the thought.

Diesel doesn’t stop.

“You’re glued to your parents,” Diesel presses. “So if they crash and burn—Hell‑style—do you go with them to ‘honor’ them?”

He hears the edge in his own voice—and the fear underneath it. He pictures his own dad. His own mom.

“Could you be at peace in Heaven,” Diesel asks, “knowing your only parent is being tortured forever? Or do you forget them like they never existed?”

Abby flinches as if slapped.

“That’s three more questions that should never be asked,” she says quickly.

But words come out anyway.

“My brothers and sisters will be with me,” she says. “Plus all my favorite aunts, uncles, and cousins. Grandma and Gr, and Papa too. They won’t be old—everyone’s young again.”

She forces a smile, painting the picture she’s rehearsed since she was five.

“I don’t know if families are tortured together in Hell,” Abby admits. “I… believe people in Heaven will conveniently forget anyone in Hell. Like they never existed.”

She pushes harder into the script.

“Best friends on Earth stay best friends in Heaven,” she says quickly. “Enemies who make it to Heaven become friends because everything’s magically forgiven. Everything is wonderful forever. I can’t wait.”

Rev props himself up on his elbows.

“That’s an… interesting setup,” Rev says. “What if you’re wrong and you have to come back in another body?”

Abby’s head snaps toward him.

“Don’t be ridiculous,” Abby says. “Multiple bodies wreck the whole afterlife system. If I’ve had more than one body—and more than one set of parents per body—then in Heaven I’d have to juggle hundreds of parents and siblings. And if one of those bodies went to Hell, my soul would get ripped in half. That can’t be real. I don’t believe in reincarnation, so it can’t exist.”

The last sentence lands like a slammed door.

Evan watches her hands.

They’re shaking.

He wonders how much of her faith is genuine trust—and how much is duct tape holding terror in place.

Around them, the courtyard hums with normal life—gossip, laughter, low‑level stress about tests.

But in their circle under the oak, the energy is heavier.

Questions about family, loyalty, and what love costs if the people you love don’t fit inside your heaven.

Chapter 2: Evan and His Dad Discuss the Sphere of Self and Afterlife Jobs

While Evan and his Dad discuss the sphere of self and afterlife jobs, that night, the house is quiet.

The kitchen smells of dish soap and leftover pasta.

Evan sits at the table with math spread out in front of him—but his pencil hasn’t moved in ten minutes. Abby’s “one family forever” loop keeps replaying in his head.

Dad sips tea, lost in thought.

Then he sets the mug down.

“I’ve defined a sphere,” Dad says suddenly, “inside the ocean of everything. That sphere is what I call ‘me.’”

Evan looks up.

“This sphere can grow or shrink,” Dad continues. “Deep down, I know the ocean inside and outside my bubble is the same. But for convenience, I pretend: everything inside = me. Everything outside = not me. Then I only take responsibility for what’s inside.”

Evan imagines it—a glowing bubble drifting in an endless ocean of light.

“Must be hard,” Evan says, “to admit you don’t exist outside your own lines.”

Dad smiles faintly.

“I’m smart enough to know there are wiser souls than me,” Dad says. “Others who’ve mastered their mystic powers. I hope some of them want to help me, because that’s what I plan to do when I graduate. Look at this world—people graduate and become teachers all the time. Why not there too?”

Evan smirks.

“Thanks for being my teacher now,” he says. “I’ll give you practice by asking dumb questions like ‘Where are the cookies?’”

Dad snorts.

“Imagine the mystic realm like a utopian city,” Dad says. “Departments for everything: protection, healing, wisdom, freedom. Our city has utilities, zoning and police. You don’t call 911 to fix a clogged sink. You don’t call the water company for a burglary.”

Evan nods.

“Same up there,” Dad says. “When a soul needs help learning a specific mystic power, they find the master in charge of that specialty and call them. Not just scream at ‘the universe’ and hope.”

Evan tilts his head.

“So,” he says, “my future afterlife job isn’t about my engineering degree. It’s about what mystic skills I’ve actually mastered.”

“Exactly,” Dad says. “I probably just shattered your fantasy of Heaven as Disneyland plus cloud power-ups. Souls go to soul school to learn. Then they work with those skills.”

Evan sinks back.

“Do you get stuck at one job forever?” he asks.

“No,” Dad says. “Beginners start simple. As they prove they can handle more energy and responsibility, they move up. Same as Earth, just… with more light and less paperwork.”

Evan taps his pencil.

“The idea that not all souls are equal,” Evan says slowly, “is going to wreck some people’s theology. They use ‘we’re all the same in Heaven’ as an excuse to skip training now.”

Dad doesn’t argue.

He lets the truth sit between them, like a new piece of furniture they both have to decide how to live with.

Chapter 3: Dad Explains Calling Specific Masters for Mystic Help to Evan

As Dad explains calling specific masters for mystic help to Evan, the kettle whistles softly, and Dad lowers the heat.

“When I want help with a specific mystic ability,” Dad says, “I find the name of the master who runs that ‘department’ and dial their extension.”

Evan raises his eyebrows.

“Just like here,” Dad says. “You don’t stand on a corner wishing someone would tell you where the hardware store is. You ask out loud—‘Where is the hardware store?’ Better yet, you see Joe the handyman and say, ‘Hey Joe, which hardware store is good?’ You get an answer.”

He holds up a finger.

“Three clues,” Dad says. “One: call out loud. Two: Be specific. Three: know who you’re calling and what they actually do.”

“So yelling, ‘Universe, fix my life’ doesn’t cut it,” Evan says.

Dad smiles.

“Graduated masters are like store experts,” Dad says. “Ask a shoe guy about refrigerators, he’ll just point. The CEO could answer your question—but it’s not his job. His job is running the store, not selling you laces.”

He shrugs.

“The Highest Being—the Creator—can, in theory, do everything,” Dad says. “But he’s delegated. If he micromanages every lost wallet and scraped knee, no one else grows.”

Evan’s eyes light.

“So there is basically a mystic phonebook,” Evan says. “Archangel Michael for protection. Some Goddess for freedom. Others for healing.”

“Exactly,” Dad says. “And calling ‘God’ for every tiny thing while ignoring the department heads is like demanding the CEO personally check you out at the register. You block everyone else from learning.”

He stirs his tea.

“Delegating authority isn’t just efficient,” Dad says. “It gives graduated souls chances to develop more skills. Just like giving kids chores so they learn to be adults.”

Evan grins.

“So by loading you up with jobs,” Evan says, “I’m helping your evolution. You want to do my homework too?”

Dad laughs.

“Ha. No,” he says. “Nice try.”

The idea sticks in Evan’s mind, though:

Heaven isn’t just one giant throne room.

It’s a network.

Connections.

Lines of light.

And he has to learn who to call—and how—instead of just yelling at the sky and hoping.

Chapter 4: Evan Learns About Mystic Light Bandwidth and Overcoming Barricades

While Evan learns about mystic light bandwidth and overcoming barricades, outside, the sky goes from blue‑gray to full dark.

The kitchen light feels like a warm bubble in a huge, invisible ocean.

“Here’s the catch,” Dad says. “Graduated masters need me to actually dial them. Say their name. Be specific. If I never call, they can’t override my free will.”

He traces a circle on the table.

“My sphere,” Dad says, “has walls. I built them with my beliefs and my ego. Sometimes the master’s side of the ‘hotel door’ is wide open—ready. But my side is slammed shut. Sometimes mine is open—but what I’m asking breaks cosmic law, so their side stays closed. It takes two yeses.”

Evan chews that over.

“If you still struggle with stuff,” Evan says, “what chance do I have?”

Dad smiles.

“We’re Evolvers,” he says. “Not Perfecters. We climb. We slip. We climb again. I like making ‘friends in high places’ because someday I want their kind of job. Until then, I learn. I prove I can handle more light. They give me more.”

He looks Evan in the eyes.

“They need people like you to ask for help,” Dad says. “It lets them practice their roles, move up. It’s a two‑way blessing.”

He takes a sip of tea, then adds:

“If I only ever pray to ‘the Highest,’ I freeze everyone else. It’s like insisting the principal teach your math class instead of the math teacher.”

Evan relaxes a little.

“I like that,” Evan says. “But I’m still not doing extra chores so you can get promoted.”

Dad chuckles.

Then his face shifts.

“One more thing,” Dad says. “Some people’s barricades are so thick that only one drop of light gets through per day. One. Drop.”

He holds up his index finger.

“They can beg for a thousand drops of help,” he says. “But if their channel only lets one in, that’s all they get. Those drops pool inside their chakras—energy centers—until there’s enough reserve to start changing things.”

Evan’s forehead creases.

“That isn’t fair,” Evan says. “It’s a new day. They want help now. Their past should be forgiven. They should get as much of the Holy Spirit as they ask for.”

Dad nods slowly.

“They haven’t proved they can handle more yet,” Dad says. “Hand an addict unlimited money, and you don’t fix his addiction. You fund it.”

“So how do you go from one drip a day to a waterfall?” Evan asks.

“Two main ways,” Dad says. “First, delete false beliefs. Personal ‘truths’ that don’t match reality outside your sphere act like junk in the pipes. Second, stop wasting the light you do get on self‑indulgence. Let it build a reservoir. When your sponsors see you storing and using light wisely, they open the valve wider.”

Evan looks at him—really sees him.

There’s a softness around—a faint glow.

“I can tell you’ve stored a lot,” Evan says. “Your aura looks… full.”

Dad blushes slightly.

“Thanks,” he says. “Still not doing your homework. That’s your test, not mine.”

They both laugh.

Underneath, Evan feels something he didn’t expect:

Relief.

If bandwidth can grow, nobody will be stuck with one drop a day forever.

Not even kids who’ve screwed up a lot.

Chapter 5: Evan Reflects on His Shadow Side and Aligning His Sphere with Truth

Later, as Evan reflects on his shadow side and aligning his sphere with truth, he lies on his bed, the lamp dimmed.

No music.

No scrolling.

Just his thoughts—and the echo of Dad’s last monologue.

When I connect with my mystic self, Dad had said, I plug into a huge library of law and Truth. As I line up with it, I fill my sphere with clearer energy. Bit by bit, what’s inside starts to match what’s outside. Once it matches, the barrier isn’t needed. It dissolves. I stop twisting reality to fit my cravings. My inside image finally looks like the outside original.

Evan had joked, “So you become a super‑being.”

Dad had shaken his head.

Not super, he’d said. Just honest. I still have to practice. I still fight my shadow side. Virtue versus vice—that battle doesn’t end just because I see more clearly.

Now, in the quiet, Evan thinks about his own shadow side:

The rush he gets when he wins an argument.

The secret satisfaction when Abby looks rattled, and he has the “right” answer.

The laziness that tells him he’ll “totally” do the hard thing tomorrow.

He imagines his sphere—bright in some places, foggy in others.

He doesn’t feel a sudden blast of power.

He feels… aware.

That might be the real beginning.

Chapter 6: Evan and Dad Observe Beings of Darkness and Negative Energy Currents

A few nights later, as Evan and Dad observe beings of darkness and negative energy currents, they walk through the neighborhood park at dusk.

Streetlights flicker on, buzzing softly.

On the basketball court, a group of older teens shouts, shoves, and talks trash—their music pounds, lyrics full of violence and flexing.

As they pass, Evan feels his mood dip.

His shoulders tense.

The air feels thick, like walking through low‑grade static.

Dad feels it too.

“There are beings of darkness,” Dad says quietly, “who’ve mastered real mystic power—but never cleaned out their lies, grudges, and twisted laws.”

They crunch leaves under their shoes.

“Their spheres get huge,” Dad says, “but they’re packed with their own fake ‘truths.’ They harden like armor. They become like dense fish—self‑fish—swimming in the same ocean but basically cut off from the Source. The ocean still allows them to exist. But because they block real light, they can only run on negative emotion. Anger. Revenge. Addiction. Those are their fuel.”

Evan watches a kid on the court shove another into the fence, then laugh like it’s a joke.

“Their dense fish shells will eventually rot on the bottom,” Dad adds. “That’s what happens when you grow in power but not in Truth.”

Evan nods.

“I know people at school who run on moods,” Evan says. “They hype themselves up with outrage, gossip, drama. When I’m around them, I feel drained. Like they’re pulling energy out of my field.”

“They are,” Dad says. “Most people would rather make friends with dark, uneducated beings than reach for a graduate master's. Darkness is instant, flashy, easy, like junk food. Honesty, discipline, virtue—that’s the slow path.”

He glances at his son.

“You can choose which current you swim in,” Dad says. “Every day. On the court. Online. In your own head.”

They walk in silence for a while.

Evan feels both currents:

The loud one—music, anger, snark, the short‑term high of being right or being feared.

And under it, a thinner, quieter flow—steady, clear, patient.

Each step either feeds one or the other.

The parables of Crysticism don’t give him all the answers.

But they give him a map.

Abby is clinging to one body, one family forever.

Rev is dissolving into “It’s all one; nothing’s real.”

Diesel is wrestling with shadow friends who promise power.

Evan is trying to grow his bandwidth without blowing up his life.

Somewhere beneath their courtyard debates, kitchen talks, and park walks, invisible lines of light and shadow keep shifting.

Every small choice—to ask a forbidden question, to call a specific name, to push the edge of a sphere—changes those lines.

And quietly, in the background, the mystic world watches.

Not to judge their grades.

But to see who, out of billions of half‑asleep souls, actually wants to become real.

Chapter Synopsis: Abby, Rev, Diesel, and Evan gather under the school courtyard oak tree to discuss the absolute nature of earthly families, where Abby clings to the belief that her mother and father will be her sole eternal family in Heaven, while Rev and Diesel challenge her rigid view with reincarnation and the harsh reality of "Hell-style" parental failure. Later that evening, Evan discusses afterlife jobs and spiritual progression with his dad, learning that Heaven operates less like a permanent resort and more like a structured, departmentalized utopian city where souls study under specialized graduated masters. Throughout their conversations, Evan discovers that reaching these masters requires specific dialing, virtuous bandwidth expansion, and the patient clearing of inner barricades, rather than merely yelling vaguely at the universe.

Core Themes & Laws:

• The Limits of Earthly Family Constructs: While traditional views bind souls to a single set of earthly parents for eternity, evolving soul school training reveals that the afterlife is an expansive network of spiritual specialists and departments rather than a rigid replication of mortal family trees.

• Heavenly Specialization and Departments: Heaven functions as an organized, utopian network where specific graduated masters oversee distinct fields of expertise (such as protection, healing, and wisdom), requiring seekers to learn their names and specific roles to receive tailored guidance.

• Mystic Bandwidth and Inner Barricades: The amount of divine light or Holy Spirit energy a soul can access is strictly limited by self-imposed psychological barricades, unverified false beliefs, and the disciplined clearing of personal energy reservoirs.

• Dark Evolution vs. Soul Mastery: Beings who accumulate massive power while retaining unhealed lies, grudges, and negative emotions become trapped in dense, hardened shells that rely entirely on negative emotional fuel like anger, revenge, and drama.
