As Evelyn asks her dad how to prepare a soul for heaven, she stares at her laptop screen, waiting for answers. The parables of Crysticism live online like a half‑forgotten fandom wiki—hidden tabs, weird forums, glitchy old websites your browser tries to warn you about.
They claim they can help you bridge the gap between normal teenage life and the secret code of the universe.
Most teens never click.
Evelyn does.
After school, she sits cross‑legged on her bed, laptop balanced on a pillow. Purple LED lights frame posters of bands and galaxies on her walls. Her homework rots in her backpack. Her brain is already full—grades, college panic, climate doom, group chats, and that one question she keeps shoving to the back of her mind.
What happens after all this?
Her dad appears in the doorway, leaning on the frame like he’s not sure he’s allowed in her personal teen chaos zone. He looks tired but steady—the way people look after they’ve already cried about the world and decided to quietly fix it anyway.
Evelyn half‑closes her laptop. The Crysticism page glows faintly on the dim screen.
“How do I get into a heavenly world in my afterlife?” she asks.
The question lands in the room like it’s been circling for years, just waiting for her to say it out loud.
Her dad steps in and sits on the edge of the bed.
“Only those who are filled and surrounded by heavenly light can actually endure a world made of truth, virtue, and intense divine light,” he says.
Evelyn frowns. “So… heaven has an energy dress code now?”
Out loud, she jokes, but inside, something pricks.
“Okay, but easy,” she says. “Like a car wash. My soul goes through a soul‑wash first. All my bad habits get blasted off, and boom—I turn into a perfect soul who can handle heaven.”
In her head, it sounds simple, like hitting Reset to factory settings.
Her dad shakes his head slowly.
“Imagine the soul as a garbage bag full of trash,” he says. “If all the trash is instantly incinerated by intense, pure energy, what’s left?”
“The bag,” Evelyn says reluctantly.
“Exactly. If all the darkness filling the heart, mind, and soul is purged, the soul is left as an empty, useless sphere.
“The intense power of the Holy Spirit would crush an empty sphere. Only a soul already filled with the Holy Spirit can be surrounded by the Holy Spirit and not be crushed.
“If you take all the polluted air out of a balloon, what’s left?”
Evelyn makes a face. “Nothing. Just a sad piece of rubber.”
Empty and crushed.
Secretly, that is exactly what her depression feels like at 2 a.m.—when her brain says she’s hollow and the world feels too heavy to breathe.
She does not want a cosmic upgrade that would make it worse.
Her dad studies her expression and sighs.
The web page on her laptop flickers slightly, as if it’s listening.
While Dad explains that heaven has a heat level of twenty-seven million degrees, he gestures to the bright afternoon sunlight. Her dad gestures toward the window.
Late‑afternoon sun spills over the rooftops, turning the street gold.
“Imagine heaven like the inside of the sun,” he says. “Only not our sun.
“Try twenty‑seven million degrees.”
Evelyn raises an eyebrow. “If I’m filled with twenty‑seven‑million‑degree light on Earth, I’m going to melt everything around me.”
She imagines walking into the school cafeteria and accidentally vaporizing the vending machines.
Not… totally a downside.
Her dad smiles slightly.
“You can start with just a ten‑million‑degree soul,” he says. “That’s enough to exist in the outer reaches of heaven.”
He looks past her, eyes far away, like he’s remembering someone real.
“There have been souls on Earth so full of spiritual light that others can’t stand to be near them,” he says quietly. “A soul filled with darkness doesn’t enjoy a bright world. It feels comfortable only in a cold, dark place with a similar vibration.”
Evelyn stares at the floor.
She thinks about kids at school who sit alone. The ones everyone calls weird or “too intense.” The ones whose eyes look like they’ve seen too much. Sometimes she avoids them because their pain feels like staring into a mirror.
“So to keep from being… disintegrated,” she says slowly, “a soul gravitates to a world that matches its current vibration.
“Souls go where they fit in.”
Her dad nods. “Exactly.”
For a second, the air in her room feels different—thicker, warmer. Like a tiny, invisible sun turns up one notch.
If she could see her own aura right now, it would flicker somewhere between bruised purple and hopeful blue.
Because unpurified souls lacking heavenly energy cannot survive in heaven, Evelyn begins to understand the danger of facing divine light unprepared. Her dad leans back on his hands.
“Imagine your soul filled with water, breathing water, and surrounded by a bubble of water,” he says.
“How long would you be comfortable in the desert? Or outer space?”
Evelyn doesn’t have to think. “I’d be happiest in the ocean or a river,” she says. “If all the water in and around me dried up, I’d just… stop existing as myself.”
He nods.
“Right. Only souls filled and surrounded by heavenly energy want to go to heaven,” he says. “Forcing a corrupted, polluted soul into heaven would be cruel.
“Most of that soul would burn away in the intensity.
“How far away from the Creator would a criminal have to stand to feel stable?”
Evelyn imagines someone who hurts people on purpose, never apologizes, and is suddenly blasted by pure truth and love, like a nuclear sunrise.
Her stomach twists.
“What if my Creator is inviting me to heaven?” she asks quietly.
Her dad’s smile turns sad.
“Imagine a fish inviting you to go ice skating,” he says. “Or a worm inviting you to lunch.”
Evelyn scrunches her nose. “Gross.”
“Exactly,” he says. “Our Creator invites all of us home.
“But our souls can’t live there until we are ‘like’ the Creator. We have to be filled with the same kind of energy as that heavenly world.
“Otherwise, we freeze. Or fry.”
The thought stings more than she expects.
Being asked to come home but not ready yet feels like watching your friends post party pictures.
The worst part is when you are invited
—and still can’t get yourself to go.
As Evelyn and Dad discuss purging the soul of darkness through free will effort, the difficulty of spiritual growth becomes glaringly obvious. “I heard the Creator can just take away all my dark, sinful nature,” Evelyn says.
Her dad nods. “Yes. The trash in your garbage bag can be burned away.”
He tilts his head.
“But how much of the bag is left?”
Evelyn’s throat tightens.
“I heard all I have to do is believe someone else already did everything for me,” she says. “Like they passed the test, and I get their grade.”
Her dad’s eyes soften.
“The law is the law,” he says quietly. “The truth is the truth.
“And no matter how hard you believe in a fantasy version of the truth, it won’t suddenly make your soul able to endure twenty-seven million degrees of Holy Spirit heat.
“Believing in heaven can inspire you to start walking toward light. “But you still have to walk.”
He taps the air around her, like he’s pointing at something only he can see.
“You must be willing to expel darkness and attract Holy Spirit energy,” he says.
“You were created in the image and likeness of the Creator. But through free will, your soul has filled itself with a mix of light and darkness.
“What radiates from your auric bubble comes from what’s inside your soul. “Your past thoughts, feelings, and actions built the energy cloud around you now.
“Your current and future choices are building your future cloud.
“When your body dies, your soul will want to go where that cloud already fits.”
Evelyn closes her eyes for a second.
She imagines a glowing mist around her filled with:
Late‑night anxiety. Unsent texts. Quiet kindnesses no one saw. Rage at injustice. Secret jealousy. Random memes. And a few fragile sparks of real love that scare her more than any horror movie.
“You make it sound so simple and logical,” she says.
“When I try to explain it to my friends, they just want me to join their make‑believe worlds instead.
“I like their worlds better,” she admits. “In those, I don’t have to do anything.”
She laughs once, but it comes out flat.
“Your explanation makes more sense,” she says, “but in it I have to evolve into a twenty‑seven‑million‑degree flamethrower just to get into heaven.”
School. Family. Social media. And now
Become a spiritual sun.
The expectations pile up like books on her chest.
Dad explains practicing with Holy Spirit energy without twisting it, emphasizing the immense responsibility that comes with divine power. Her dad’s gaze turns distant again, like the room is fading and something bigger is shining through.
“Imagine standing next to an almighty Being,” he says. “The intensity of His radiance is beyond measuring.
“How much practice have you had being that close to that much power?”
He waits.
Evelyn doesn’t answer.
“A soul created in His image and likeness needs to embrace that likeness to endure His presence,” he says.
“Now imagine your soul can wield a tiny fraction of infinite power.
“What would you do if you had a trillion dollars to play with?”
Evelyn huffs a laugh.
“How about giving me just a million first?” she says.
Images flash in her mind:
Pay off her parents’ debts. Fund climate activists. Buy her friends electric cars. Randomly drop money into people’s GoFundMes.
Also:
Buy ridiculous things just because she can.
Her dad raises an eyebrow.
“What would you do—or not do—for a million dollars?” he asks. “Would a crime tempt you?
“If you had it, would you be content and use it wisely?
“Or would you want more?”
He lets the questions hang, heavy and sharp.
“Those who are comfortable in the Creator’s presence,” he says, “have learned how to work with large amounts of intense Holy Spirit energy without twisting it.
“Soul school gives you chances to practice.
“The more you practice, the more spiritual ‘attainment’ you gain. “The more you condition your soul to be comfortable around a blazing sun.”
Evelyn pictures that energy like liquid white fire flowing through her veins.
Would it light up her best parts—or set her worst parts on fire?
The thought scares her.
And excites her.
Both at once.
Evelyn listens as her dad describes how souls create shadow sides that keep them away from the Creator, making her think of her own dark thoughts. “I heard the Creator made souls because He was lonely and wanted company,” Evelyn says.
Her dad shakes his head.
“Not true,” he replies. “He desires to share His creation with others. Similar to why parents have children.”
Evelyn frowns. “If He’s almighty, why didn’t He just create a bunch of other perfect beings like Himself?”
“He did,” her dad says. “Just like parents create babies.”
“Babies are not almighty and perfect,” she counters.
“Don’t say that in front of new parents,” he says dryly.
“Infants are compressed balls of pure potential that expand over time.
“Your soul is concentrated mystical potential. “But you have to shape it.”
He pauses, then adds, “Because of free will, beings create a light side and a shadow side.
“The shadow is made from their own energy. “Souls get attached to it.
“Their shadow becomes their favorite pet.
“They think they can’t live without it.”
Evelyn glances at the darkest corner of her room—the one she avoids looking at right before bed. That’s where her worst thoughts like to curl up:
I’m not enough. I’m too much. No one really sees me. I want everything to burn.
It does feel a bit like something she feeds.
Her dad continues.
“The shadow side can’t exist in the Creator’s presence,” he says. “Ripping it off all at once would feel like having all your hair yanked out—inside and out.
“The Creator is a million times brighter than our sun. “Souls with strong shadows deliberately stay away, even if they say they want Him.
“Their shadow tells them, ‘It’s safer in the dark.’”
Evelyn thinks of friends who claim they “hate drama” but always go back to toxic people.
Of classmates who joke about needing help but refuse therapy.
Of herself, quietly scrolling instead of journaling, numbing instead of praying.
Maybe the shadow isn’t just a thing.
Maybe it’s a voice
That’s very good at sounding like her own.
Evelyn imagines sharing love frequency and building virtues to resist her shadow as the heavy weight of the lesson settles in her chest. “The believers I know have such a simple plan,” Evelyn says softly.
“They expect to just… bathe in their Creator’s radiance forever.
“But if some of them show up carrying shadows, they’d have to stand like, a million miles away.”
Her dad tilts his head.
“If love is God’s frequency,” he asks, “how much love do you need to handle being in His presence?
“And what would you do with that much love?”
The answer jumps out of her before she can edit it.
“I’d give it all away,” she says.
The image hits her: walking through hospitals, refugee camps, prisons, protests; pouring light into every cracked heart she sees.
Her chest aches in a way that doesn’t feel like anxiety for once.
Her dad nods slowly.
“You’d need a high‑intensity reservoir of all the virtues blended,” he says. “Not just love. Courage, patience, truth, mercy, discipline, joy.
“And your shadow will want to feast on that energy.”
Evelyn swallows.
In her mind’s eye, her selfishness, her laziness, her need for control, all crawl toward this glowing pool, hungry.
“Soul school is way harder than high school,” she mutters.
Her dad laughs under his breath, but his eyes stay serious.
Something passes between them that isn’t just words.
A pale gold current hums in the air, steady and patient. It brushes past Evelyn’s chest like a quiet question:
What are you going to do with your light?
Outside, the sky darkens to deep blue.
Inside, a different kind of sun lights one more degree.
Later that night, Evelyn embraces the challenge of soul school to increase her spiritual heat level, finally feeling ready for the journey ahead. That night, Evelyn reopens her laptop.
The parables of Crysticism glow on the screen again—stories about Crystic Mystic students who learn to master their souls’ superpowers and face the trials of growing up.
It doesn’t feel like a random, weird website anymore.
It feels like a syllabus.
Her mind replays her dad’s metaphors:
Garbage bags. Auric clouds. Water souls. Solar heat. Shadow pets.
Normally, at this point, she would scroll away to distraction.
Tonight, she doesn’t.
She sits with the discomfort.
The story of her life is not finished.
She places her hand gently over her heart.
Under her palm, she feels the faintest warmth—not caffeine buzz, not anxiety spike.
Something quieter.
If heaven is a world of twenty‑seven‑million‑degree love, then every hard choice she makes now is one more degree of heat.
Every time she picks truth over convenience. Compassion over numbness. Courage over hiding.
That is soul school.
For the first time, it doesn’t feel like punishment.
It feels like an invitation.
A mystery game.
A new challenge.
A path she actually wants to level up on.
Somewhere in the unseen layers around her, a new Crystic Parable tab opens—
And this time, she’s the one being written about.
Chapter Synopsis:
Evelyn sits in her room reading Crysticism parables on her laptop and asks her dad how a soul prepares for heaven. Her dad explains that heaven operates at a staggering 27 million degrees of divine light, meaning unpurified souls carrying personal darkness and shadow sides would be crushed or incinerated without actively building spiritual heat through free will effort, virtue, and love.
Core Themes & Laws:
Heaven as an environment of intense divine light requiring souls to be energetically conditioned to its extreme frequency
The impossibility of instantaneous factory resets or unearned shortcuts into heavenly realms without personal purification
Free will, effort and the building of virtue as the necessary mechanism to purge shadow sides and increase spiritual heat levels
The danger of shadow attachment where souls cling to personal darkness despite desiring heaven
