704 | Evan and His Father Discuss Spiritual Guides, False Teachers, and Gaining Soul Wisdom

Chapter 1: Evan Asks His Father About Spiritual Guides, Wisdom, and the Backdoor for False Teachers

Before Evan asks his father about spiritual guides, wisdom, and the backdoor for false teachers, he finds himself overwhelmed by his own swirling thoughts. The late-afternoon sun slants through Evan’s bedroom window like a spotlight, cutting across his messy desk. Homework sits in a heap, untouched. His phone lights up every few seconds with notifications. He keeps swiping them away without really reading them.  

He lies flat on the floor, staring at the ceiling. His headphones rest around his neck so he can hear the quiet hum of the house. His mind is louder than any playlist.  

Wisdom. Truth. Free will. Spiritual guides.  

The words spin in his brain like a glitchy loading screen that never finishes.  

Down the hall, cabinet doors thump open and shut. The smell of onions and garlic drifts in, sharp and warm. His dad is making dinner. Which means another conversation is coming.  

Evan pushes himself up on his elbows and sits. He doesn’t really want answers. Answers come with responsibilities. But he wants something. Clarity. Proof. An off-switch.  

He slides off the bed, pads down the hall, socks whispering over the hardwood.  

“Dad?” he says, leaning on the kitchen doorway. “Why is getting wisdom so important? Aren’t we supposed to just let our spiritual guides make all our choices for us?”  

His dad looks up from the cutting board. For a second, there’s a spark in his eyes—half amusement, half warning.  

“Evan,” he says, “what demon gives you that suggestion?”  

Evan blinks. “Seriously?”  

Dad sets the knife down, wipes his hands on a towel, and turns fully toward him.  

“Without wisdom,” he says, “you can’t choose which spiritual guides to listen to. There are divine guides, yes. But there are also corrupted, selfish, fake guides with similar backdoor access to your conscious mind. Only a false guide ever tells you that wisdom doesn’t matter.”  

The words land hard. Evan’s chest tightens. Some part of him already knows this. Another part wants to throw it back in his dad’s face.  

He drops into a chair at the table and starts folding a napkin, then unfolding it, then folding it again.  

“Ouch,” he mutters. “So whoever set up the world…messed up. They allowed false teachers into our heads, right? Someone should send a memo to the Creator to fix the laws that let evil control us.”  

The sarcasm tastes sharp in his mouth, but it hides the fear underneath.  

“That’s a serious glitch,” he adds. “You got our Divine Father’s cosmic email so that I can complain? Because if He hasn’t fixed this backdoor malware, then either He doesn’t know about it, or He doesn’t care.”  

The last word doesn’t make it to his lips. It just echoes in his mind.  

Doesn’t care.  

Dad leans back against the counter, arms crossed. He studies Evan like he’s deciding how much truth to drop.  

“The Creator,” he says slowly, “is completely aware of that flaw. At the very beginning, there is no need to discern which inner voice is benevolent. There are no evil Tempters yet. Back then, the choice is simple: align with your divine counselors, or ignore them.”  

He moves to the stove and stirs the pan. Oil hisses and pops.  

“Those who listen,” Dad says, “accept a stream of inspiration and progress quickly in what I call soul school. Those who ignore those inner nudges sometimes do nothing. That’s not considered evil. It’s just them exercising free will.”  

Soul school. The phrase lands in Evan’s brain like a meme and a threat at the same time.  

“There are so many good options available,” Dad continues. “The main question is: which virtue or mystic power do you want to work on right now? It’s like standing in front of a massive library. All the books are good. You can’t read them all at once. Some are easier if you read others first. Some teach the same lesson differently. It’s tempting to reread the same fun, simple fairy tales on repeat. But if that’s all you ever do, it slows down your wisdom, your virtues, your mystic powers.”  

Evan lets the image form: shelf after shelf of glowing books, certain spines pulsing like a heartbeat. He thinks about his real school library—the dusty back corners, the quiet, almost no one steps into.  

“This is like you,” he says, letting the thought spill out. “You keep suggesting things that would benefit me, but I only follow some of your advice and ignore the rest. No law says I have to learn to ride a bike. I’m not evil if I never do. There’s no deadline. But I’d benefit if I did.”  

Dad’s mouth twitches. “Exactly.”  

“There are tons of optional physical-world skills,” Evan goes on. His own analogy is building itself as he speaks. “And every new ability opens more options. There’s no law saying I have to learn to read, either. But if I don’t, I basically block myself from half the books in that library.”  

“Likewise,” Dad says, “there are optional mystic-world powers to master. Each one you learn opens new options.”  

Evan leans back and stares at the ceiling.  

“I actually like that idea,” he admits. “But I’ve never heard any teacher at school say that. I’ve never seen it in my feed or in the news. Is this some secret esoteric teaching reserved for, like, elite cosmic nerds?”  

Dad laughs under his breath. “Sort of. But not really. Your inner mystic guides want to teach you. There are beginner stages and advanced skills. You learn to walk before you ride a bicycle. If a soul student keeps ditching the basic lessons, they’re automatically blocked from learning how to ride a cosmic bike across the universe.”  

“A cosmic bike,” Evan snorts. “Okay, I’m upgrading your metaphor.” He sits up straighter and raises his voice like he’s filming a ridiculous ad. “Wanted: cosmic motorcycle for traversing the galaxy. Please call Evan at—actually, don’t call. Just teleport.”  

Dad shakes his head, smiling.  

“Basic lessons start with wisdom,” he says. “And with understanding cosmic laws. Free will without wisdom isn’t a gift. It’s a curse that guarantees eventual failure.”  

Evan’s smile slips. Most of his life feels like a map with no legend and a thousand wrong turns. Free will sounds great in theory. In reality, it feels like walking blindfolded through a minefield.  

He drums his fingers on the table.  

“So at the beginning,” he says slowly, “only divine inner voices are suggesting choices. But now there are flaws. Tempters. Backdoors. So why does the Creator design a system that’s doomed to fail? What actually goes wrong?”  

The question hangs in the air, heavier than the smell of garlic. His chest feels tight, like some invisible gravity pulls at the truth, trying to drag it out of hiding.  

Chapter 2: Evan and His Father Discuss Free Will, Demonic Tempters, and Becoming Mystic Warriors

As Evan and his father discuss free will, demonic tempters, and becoming mystic warriors, a heavy tension settles over the room. The kitchen clock ticks loudly in the silence. Outside, a car cruises past, bass thudding through the walls. When the sound fades, Dad finally speaks.  

“Free will,” he says, “is the magic variable that allows the creation of evil.”  

He doesn’t say allowed. He says allows, like it’s still happening right now.  

“If you have five hundred beneficial options,” he continues, “you also have five hundred harmful ones. The Creator knows the backdoor into our minds is a vulnerability, so He gives us access to wisdom, to knowledge of the law, to understanding.”  

He turns off the stove and slides the pan off the burner, the metal scraping softly.  

“Look at a bike,” he says. “You can ride with your eyes closed. You can bomb down a steep hill way too fast. You can ride with no hands. None of that is evil. It’s just foolish.”  

Evan pictures himself flying downhill with his eyes squeezed shut, the wind clawing at his clothes, the road blurring, the world tilting. His stomach flips.  

“Wisdom grows through observation and experience,” Dad says. “You can learn by watching someone crash when they ride with no hands. Or your inner egotistical voice of pride can dare you: you can do better. You crash yourself. The wisdom you gain afterward tells you that breaking your leg has no actual advantage. Wisdom starts filtering your thoughts, your desires, even some of your explosive emotions.”  

Evan studies his own hands. Faint scars cross his knuckles—from fights, from skateboard falls, from punching a wall once when everything got too loud inside.  

“So my Creator knows it’s impossible to remove all harmful choices,” he says. “So he lets me develop my own wisdom. But why not just create me with all the wisdom I’d ever need? Then I wouldn’t have to learn from painful experiences.”  

Dad dishes food onto plates, every motion slow and deliberate, like he’s stalling.  

“Your conscience,” he says at last, “already holds a library of wisdom. But you have to download it into your soul.”  

Evan squints at him. “Why can’t I just download all the wisdom at once? Like, click ‘accept all’ and be done?”  

“Because,” Dad says, setting a plate in front of him, “each morsel of wisdom has to be checked and approved by your freedom-loving, selfish human ego. Wisdom interferes with creative free will. Wisdom insists you keep your eyes open, don’t go too fast, and keep your hands on the handlebars. It limits your freedom to be foolish. Tempters specialize in projecting foolish ideas into young, unwise minds.”  

He says young, unwise minds like it’s a diagnosis, not an insult. Evan still flinches.  

“Diesel says,” Evan mutters, thinking of his friend with the dyed hair and permanent smirk, “that if he never does anything foolish, he’ll never learn anything. But lately I’ve seen people do stuff that isn’t just foolish. It’s…insane. I see it online and wonder what got into their brains.”  

He sees the image again: a viral livestream, a kid his age doing something violent, his eyes empty and flat. The comments explode with jokes, outrage and conspiracy theories. No one looks okay.  

“It makes sense,” Evan says slowly, “that it’s the Tempters. Their ideas. Their suggestions. Like people let the Tempter’s mind replace their conscience.”  

Dad sits down across from him.  

“There’s another category of free-choice options,” he says. “Choices that go beyond unguided foolishness and become evil actions. Those don’t show up on the basic list you're naturally wired for. Those aren’t the choices that pop up in a healthy human brain.”  

He folds his hands together.  

“Those destructive ideas,” he says, “originate from beyond the physical world. Demonic Tempters promote suicide, terrorism, mass murder, and other senseless violence—just to create chaos. Those without wisdom are wide open to that kind of influence.”  

Evan swallows. His throat feels dry, like he’s been breathing smoke.  

“I’ve seen that,” he says quietly. “Senseless violence. In real time, on my feed. People my age. If the Creator is so aware, why doesn’t He get rid of all the evil and reset everything back to the original pure setting?”  

He thinks of Abby from the youth group, clutching her journal like a shield.  

“Abby’s waiting for her Savior,” he says. “She thinks He’ll come, fix everything and delete all the foolish and evil options. Like a full system reset. Only beneficial choices left on the menu.”  

Dad exhales through his nose.  

“A cosmic reset,” he says, “would be like destroying all the souls and creating new ones. Sure, all the tangled evil gets erased. But so has the progress the students have made: all the hard-won wisdom, all the virtues, all the mystic skill—gone.  

“And even then, it changes nothing long-term if you still have free-willed souls without wisdom. Hit reset, and they’ll recreate a new version of the same mess. Constant resets work fine in video games. But this is an evolving universe.”  

Evan glances toward the living room. His console sits there, waiting, full of saved worlds he can rage-quit and reload whenever he wants.  

“I get it,” he says. “Then what’s the solution? How do you stop evil from evolving right alongside goodness without taking away free will?”  

Dad’s eyes soften like he’s about to hand over something fragile and dangerous.  

“Soul students,” he says quietly, “have to evolve into powerful mystic warriors. And fight to vanquish darkness.”  

The word warriors lights something in Evan’s chest—a flare of excitement, fear, and curiosity all at once. For one second, he sees it: kids like him standing on a ridge of black rock under a violet sky, energy crackling in their hands, shadows writhing below.  

He blinks, and it’s just the kitchen again—just dinner.  

Except it doesn’t feel like just anything.  

Chapter 3: Evan and His Father Explore Cosmic Truth, False Religions, and Unwinding Soul Illusions

Preparing to continue the conversation where Evan and his father explore cosmic truth, false religions, and unwinding soul illusions, Evan takes a moment to process the heavy revelations. Later, after dishes clatter into the cupboard and the sky outside turns a deep, bruised blue, Evan sits on the back steps. The yard is mostly dead grass and stubborn weeds, but in the dim light, it feels like some borderland between worlds.  

Streetlights hum in the distance. A siren wails somewhere far off, then fades into silence.  

He turns the conversation over in his mind like a Rubik’s Cube he can’t solve. Every time he lines up one color, another side falls apart.  

He thinks about adults arguing online—about politics, religion, climate change, human rights—each one convinced they own the Truth while everything burns around them.  

He presses his palms together, then slowly pulls them apart, imagining a thin strand of energy stretching between them. He can’t see it with his eyes, but he feels something: tension, static, possibility.  

From the open kitchen window, he hears his dad humming to himself while he cleans up.  

Evan stands and pushes the back door open.  

“Dad?” he calls.  

“In here,” Dad answers.  

Evan joins him at the sink and leans against the counter.  

“I’m confused,” he says. “Like, seriously confused. Smart people—top-of-the-class people—set up these random, non-sequitur statements and call that their version of Truth. It works for them in the short-term, I guess. But long-term? It’s just foolish. It’s like they never grew out of childhood make-believe time. They just renamed it politics or religion or whatever.”  

Dad nods slowly, eyes on the soapy water.  

“Filling my soul’s mind with false beliefs,” he says, almost as if he’s talking to himself, “with anxiety, doubt, misunderstanding…it layers corruption over reality. Like mud coating glass. A committed soul student consecrates their mind as sacred space. Not as a dumping ground for fantasy, but as a place for real cosmic Truth.”  

He rinses a plate and slides it into the dish rack.  

“I strive to obtain, retain, and use wisdom,” he goes on, “when I make decisions and when I teach others. I want my soul’s mind filled with cosmic Truth and an understanding of cosmic laws. But I know I still hold on to misconceptions and superstitions. I know my own false beliefs could corrupt anything I say. And I might not even know where I’m wrong.”  

Evan side-eyes him.  

“Isn’t that why I go to school?” he asks. “So professionals can pour non-false stuff into my head?”  

Dad snorts.  

“Unfortunately,” he says, “worldly schools do very little to instill cosmic Truth in students’ souls.”  

Evan raises his eyebrows. “So you’d be cool with me just…dropping out?”  

Dad tilts his head, smirking. “Quite tempting,” he says. “What would you do instead?”  

Evan hadn’t expected that.  

“I thought you’d lecture me,” he says. “Stay in school, go to college, get a successful job, live happily ever after. The whole script. But honestly? I like school—for now. I’d miss my friends if I left.”  

Dad shrugs. “Maybe school helps you more than you think. Maybe you’re actually learning some Truth and virtues there after all.”  

He dries his hands on a towel.  

“Generally,” he says, “the really useful Truth for the soul gets shoved into the religion or spirituality box. Teachers aren’t allowed to talk about cosmic Truth. The Fallen Ones flood the world with fantasy religions, so cosmic Truth looks like just another personal brand. Society treats real cosmic Truth like a taboo topic.”  

Evan nods. He’s seen it: religion as an aesthetic in videos, as an argument at family dinners, as the subject teachers avoid if they don’t want chaos.  

“I’ve noticed that,” he says. “Most students hardly ever think about what their souls will do in the afterlife. Ask them, and they’re like, ‘I don’t know. I guess I’ll find out when I get there.’ Most think they can’t understand cosmic Truth anyway, so why worry about it?”  

He imagines a fake email sent to every baby at birth.  

“Feels like someone sent a global memo,” he says. “‘Do not ponder your soul’s afterlife, or you won’t go to Heaven.’”  

Dad laughs once, but his eyes stay serious.  

“Every brand of religion,” he says, “has its own limited version of cosmic Truth. That version of reality is supported by key false beliefs that build a perfect fantasy afterlife. Their make-believe Creator can do whatever He wants. The preachers fill people’s minds with illogical superstitions that supposedly guarantee easy eternal happiness.”  

Evan frowns.  

“Again, you surprise me,” he says. “I figured you’d be all in on religion because it tells people to be good. At least, that’s what everyone says. But I agree—something’s wrong. Real cosmic Truth should be universal. An open-minded soul should be able to understand it.”  

Dad smiles, a trace of pride in his face.  

“Congratulations,” he says softly. “You just nailed it. The keyword is open-minded. Most people aren’t open to cosmic Truth. They prefer fantasy and the selfish freedom to do whatever they want. They pick the religion that lets their ego keep its favorite toys.”  

Evan crosses his arms.  

“That seems backward,” he says. “You’d think the soul would automatically understand universal cosmic Truth. Like it’s woven into every atom of who we are. Cosmic Truth is reality, so it should be obvious and easy to see, right?”  

A strange certainty rises in his chest as he speaks.  

“I think people create their own version of Truth,” he says, “to cover the universal Truth they see as restrictive. Some part of their soul knows the real Truth, but their ego hides it behind false beliefs for now. Discovering Truth isn’t about adding new stuff. It’s about stripping away the false beliefs that fog reality.”  

Dad’s whole face lights up.  

“Bravo,” he says. “You’ve dared to speak the Truth. Cosmic Truth exists. It’s knowable. We can understand it if we’re willing to unblock our distorted minds.”  

Evan feels something shift inside, like a locked door clicks open a tiny crack.  

“Then I think the real keyword,” he says, “is will. People unconsciously use their willpower to block the Truth with convenient false beliefs.”  

Dad nods. “There are plenty of false teachers,” he says, “ready to sell distorted, ‘expedient’ versions of Truth to fantasy-minded souls.”  

“Who would do that?” Evan asks. “Who creates designer religions just to attract people who like that particular twist of Truth? Who actually wants to teach false beliefs to hide the real Truth?”  

“Those who gain something from it,” Dad says simply.  

Evan’s stomach twists.  

“So false teachers benefit,” he says, “from encouraging souls to live in a fantasyland. Their false teachings lead souls away from cosmic Truth. That’s not just unkind. It’s cruel. Why would they want that?”  

“It’s easier to control someone through their beliefs than through force,” Dad says. “If you reshape someone’s core beliefs, they’ll live out those beliefs—true or false. An oppressed slave eventually fights back. But a devoted follower of a false teacher willingly does whatever they’re told.”  

Images flash through Evan’s mind: cult documentaries, extremist groups, manipulative influencers who weaponize trauma and aesthetics for clout.  

“So soul school,” he says slowly, “teaches us to dump false beliefs. We have to unlearn the attitudes and perspectives that let other people manipulate us.”  

Dad grins. “You’re on a roll today. You must have taken smart pills this morning.”  

Evan lets out a breath that’s half sigh, half laugh.  

“It still feels backward,” he says. “My conscience already has all the answers, virtues, and powers. But my soul is blocking them. That’s like having a giant trust account from my parents and pretending it doesn’t exist. The treasures are already mine. All our wisdom, energy, and powers are locked in a safe. We know the combination, but we refuse to open it. Why are our souls this foolish?”  

Dad’s gaze drifts to the dark yard outside the window.  

“It boils down,” he says, “to using expanded free choice to play in fantasyland instead of living in cosmic reality.  

“We choose real wisdom, or we choose false beliefs that justify whatever we want.  

“We choose a trickle of pure divine energy, or a river of used, corrupted energy.  

“We use our mystical powers to co-create perfection—or to overindulge in sensual human pleasure.  

“We choose to ensoul pure virtues—or we claim the freedom to ride the electrochemical emotional roller coaster.”  

A shiver runs down Evan’s spine at that phrase. He can almost feel it: chemicals firing in his brain, emotions jerking him up and down like a broken carnival ride.  

“Free will,” he says quietly, “is dangerous freedom if there’s no wisdom based on real Truth.”  

Dad nods. “Accessing the wisdom, virtue, and divine power in our conscience,” he says, “automatically destroys our self-created illusions. Those who prefer their expanded freedom to live outside the land of perfection won’t open that mystic vault. Opening it would destroy the world they currently want. In their make-believe dream, they can’t use those treasures for selfish indulgence.”  

Evan imagines a vault inside his chest, light leaking through the cracks, his hands pressed against the door, too afraid to turn the wheel.  

“Weren’t we given free will,” he asks, “so we could randomly experiment and experience sensations?”  

Dad shakes his head.  

“No,” he says. “The Creator initially gives us authority to co-create in His name. We’re required to act within the boundaries of cosmic laws and Truth. To stay aligned with divine intentions and the plan. We aren’t needed to create fantasy or to act outside of holy virtues. We’re on God’s team, playing by His rules.”  

“So when we want to do something different,” Evan says, “our Creator gets mad and kicks us off the team?”  

“Many believe that,” Dad answers. “But we are the ones who walk away. We go hunting for something ‘different.’ It’s like we leave the field to buy a hot dog and then forget where our Divine Father’s stadium even is. We wander into another stadium and sit in the bleachers, watching the Fallen Ones put on their show.”  

The image appears in Evan’s head so clearly that it almost hurts: leaving a bright, unified field and stumbling into a neon arena run by shadows, the crowd roaring for chaos.  

“You keep saying the same thing,” he says slowly, “but I’m finally starting to get it. I used to think this world was created exactly as it is, as a gift for me. That I could be happy for a while if I were, like, good-ish. I thought my choice was between being selfish and following what preachers told me.  

“But now…it’s like understanding Truth and cosmic laws can give me the wisdom to know what to do. That’s way better than defaulting to blind obedience to whatever belief system I inherited.”  

Dad studies his face.  

“You’re just a teenager, remember,” he says gently. “So I assume you’re talking about your soul’s ancient memory beliefs.”  

Evan huffs a laugh.  

“Next,” he says, “I believed we started as empty, worthless, stupid souls who had to learn everything from scratch, like soul school existed to pour cosmic wisdom into a blank mind. Like my weak, useless soul had to learn everything, the way my human brain has to relearn reading, math, and science every life.  

“But you’re saying my soul doesn’t have to learn everything. I have to remember what I chose to forget. I have to dissolve my make-believe consciousness, and I go back to my natural, brilliant, virtuous, powerful self.”  

He shakes his head, a little dizzy.  

“That sounds like a shortcut,” he says. “Like turning off the TV and waking up to reality. So why aren’t souls choosing to do that?”  

“Karma,” Dad says quietly. “And momentum. We’ve grown dependent on a web of interlocking beliefs that validate each other. When one belief falls, another rushes in to replace it.  

“I believe a friend is trustworthy. Then I heard a rumor that they betrayed me. That belief disappears, and a new one appears: they’re untrustworthy. The friend doesn’t care about my beliefs either way.  

“And on top of that, false teachers keep feeding us illusions. They want our delusions to survive.”  

Evan groans.  

“You can be so depressing,” he says. “You tell me there’s an instant-enlightenment shortcut, then explain why I can’t use it.”  

Dad smiles, but it’s sad around the edges.  

“Soul school looks like it’s about mastering new wisdom, virtues, mystic skills,” he says. “And the lessons and tests are real. But what’s actually happening is rediscovery. Mastery of self.”  

He taps his temple lightly.  

“Our souls are buried in layers of illusion,” he says. “We peel them away one by one, and it feels like new understanding appears at each layer. But once that layer is gone, the understanding feels natural and familiar—because it was always there.  

“Removing each layer hurts like ripping off a Band-Aid. The skin underneath was always there, just covered. Enlightenment is ripping away the attached illusions that gave us comfort. People are tricked into fearing they’ll lose their freedom if they open their vault of soul treasures.  

“Most are so distracted by fantasy—jobs, bills, constant indulgence—that they never even think about their souls. They’re unaware of their divine self. And if you try to explain cosmic Truth, they shrug. They’re lost in the illusion of survival and the next hit of pleasure.”  

Evan stares at the floor, heart pounding. He thinks of classmates glued to their phones, chasing likes, chasing numbness, chasing anything.  

“This is…a lot,” he says finally. “So let me summarize.  

“There is an understandable cosmic Truth. I can remember it if I choose. False teachers try to stop me because if I remember, they lose control. True mystic teachers try to help me through lessons and tests in soul school, unwinding my layers of false beliefs, slowly.”  

Dad’s eyes shine.  

“Ding,” he says softly. “You win the prize. Your soul gains wisdom through knowledge of cosmic laws and cosmic Truth. Understanding is having that wisdom and holding on to the Truth in your soul’s mind. Spending wisdom is using that Truth to decide—and act—virtuously.”  

The words settle over Evan like a heavy cloak that somehow fits perfectly.  

Somewhere deep inside, the vault door hums—a thin line of light leaks from the edges.  

For the first time, he doesn’t look away.  

Chapter Synopsis:

Evan discusses spiritual guides, free will, and the origins of evil with his father, exploring how the human soul navigates false teachings, demonic tempters, and illusions. They examine why the Creator allows free will despite its risks, how false teachers manipulate beliefs for control, and why true soul evolution requires unlearning false constructs to remember innate cosmic wisdom.

Core Themes & Laws:

• Wisdom is essential for discerning between divine guidance and corrupted, false influences that gain backdoor access to the human mind.

• Free will allows both beneficial progress and harmful, destructive choices, serving as the core mechanism of soul school evolution.

• False teachers and demonic tempters promote illusions, violence, and distorted belief systems to manipulate souls through psychological control rather than force.

• Cosmic truth is universal, knowable, and already present within the soul, requiring the removal of false beliefs and self-created illusions rather than the accumulation of foreign data.

• The ultimate goal of soul school is self-mastery, where souls peel away layers of worldly distraction and emotional reactivity to reclaim their natural, virtuous brilliance.
