948 | Evan and Dad Discuss Priorities and How to Attract Mystic Motivation

Chapter 1: Evan and Dad Discuss Priorities and Mystic Motivation

Before Evan and Dad discuss priorities and mystic motivation, Evan faces a sudden and disappointing change of plans. Evan’s trip gets canceled three hours before he’s supposed to leave.

His suitcase sits half-open on the floor, clothes spilling out like the trip might still somehow happen.

It won’t.

His phone buzzes with the final confirmation: CANCELED.

He drops onto the couch and stares at the blank TV screen.

“I’ve got three days of nothing,” he mutters. “No plans. No deadlines. Just…space. And I don’t even know what I want to do with it. There are a million good things I could be doing, but I feel like a rocket without fuel. No thrust. I can’t launch.”

Dad looks up from his mug of tea.

“So you sit and stare into space,” he says. “Sounds a lot like meditation. Or being stoned. Most people would just turn on the TV and drown themselves in junk until they pass out.”

Evan doesn’t reach for the remote.

“Entertainment’s the problem,” he says. “It replaces what my soul actually wants with what the world tells me I should want. Fame. Stuff. Fake goals. My higher self—whatever you want to call it—only powers me up when I’m working on my real purpose. Not when I’m just feeding my ego.”

Dad raises an eyebrow.

“Parents pay for food, clothes, and school,” he says. “Not for every new fantasy upgrade, streaming service, and gadget. Well, except for the family TV. That one’s its own religion.”

Evan leans back and shuts his eyes. Behind his eyelids, the darkness swirls like smoke.

“When I tap into that…holy fire,” he says slowly, “it’s like downloading a rush of inspiration and energy—as long as I stay inside the lines—spiritual laws. Cosmic rules. Whatever you want to call them.”

He opens his eyes again.

“But when I step outside those boundaries?” he says. “The whole mystic magic just…melts. Then I’m stuck running on cheap fuel—fear, anger, spite. It works for a while, but it burns out fast and leaves a mess. I don’t want that kind of motivation. I want the long-term, divine kind. The kind that keeps me building the future I actually want instead of just sitting here watching it happen to me.”

Dad nods slowly, like he’s been waiting for Evan to finally say this out loud.

“Real motivation starts higher than your brain,” Dad says. “It begins at the mystic level and spirals down into your thoughts and feelings. But it can get blocked. Sometimes for years. Until you clear the roadblocks.”

Evan frowns.

“I always thought inspiration just…flows,” he says. “Like a stream anyone can drink from. What actually blocks it?”

“A closed mind,” Dad says. “If you think you already know everything, there’s no room for anything new. An open mind listens to different solutions. But even then, you still have to do something with what you hear. An idea is only inspiration. To become real, it has to turn into intention, and then into a plan.”

He sets his mug down with a soft clink.

“Ideas that excite you wake up your willpower,” Dad goes on. “They make you want to see them finished. But your beliefs and values can fight that. If something inside you thinks it’s wrong, or impossible, or too risky, your motivation stalls. And if you chase too many ideas at once, none of them reach the finish line. They just pile up in your head as ‘cool ideas I’ll do someday.’ Which usually means never.”

Evan thinks of his notebooks. The half-built projects. The scribbled plans.

“Some kids are packed with ideas,” he says. “But they don’t have the energy or the skills to follow through.”

“Exactly,” Dad says. “Mental motivation is just the blueprint. Feelings are the electricity. The plan is the house’s frame. Your emotions decorate it. You’ve got to want the experience, not just the idea of it. An idea alone won’t move you. Passion is what pushes you off the couch.”

Evan lets out a short laugh.

“Bad example,” he says. “Sometimes I really want popcorn. I can practically smell it, taste the butter, hear the crunch in my head. But if I’m in the middle of a good movie, I’ll just sit there and suffer. I want popcorn, but not enough to get up. My brain wants it. My body doesn’t care.”

“Your willpower doesn’t care,” Dad corrects him. “That’s the difference. Without the will to move, desire just sits there. Cold.”

He leans forward.

“Here’s another secret,” he says. “Sometimes the same inspiration goes out to a lot of different people: one idea, many receivers. Maybe the hope is that one of you will actually act on it—or a few of you will work together. But if nobody moves, the inspiration never becomes reality. It just dies in the mental world.”

Evan’s stomach twists. How many ideas has he let die?

“Disciplined willpower,” Dad says, “is what keeps you writing the words, taking the steps, doing the work. Without it, even the best inspiration rots.”

Evan studies his hands.

“My friends get inspired all the time,” he says. “But it’s all the wrong stuff. They see an ad? They buy it. New show drops? They have to binge it. New trend? They’re on it before they even know what it is. Their motivation and willpower are strong—but it’s all aimed at nothing that actually matters.”

“Then they’re not using discernment,” Dad says. His voice hardens just a little. “You can’t trust every idea that pops into your head. You can’t trust every feeling that fires you up, either. You have to question the source. Where did it come from? What does it want from you? And what will it do to you?”

He looks Evan straight in the eyes.

“Stay vigilant,” Dad says. “A pure idea can be contaminated by ego, fear, or other people’s expectations. And if you feed a good goal with bad emotions—hate, revenge, pride—it twists. You might still reach your goal, but you’ll hurt a lot of people. Including yourself.”

Evan’s throat tightens.

“Some of my friends live off criticism and hate,” he says quietly. “They need someone to be angry at, or they can’t move. They drag themselves out of bed to fight something. Others just…lie there. Couch-locked. Dope, junk food, endless scrolling. Nothing gets done. Nothing grows.”

He clenches his fists.

“I don’t want that kind of fuel,” Evan says. “I don’t want dark energy. I want my thrust to come from the Holy Spirit, not from some shadowy corner of myself.”

The room falls silent. The TV screen stays dark.

Outside, the wind rattles the windows, like something unseen is testing the glass.

Chapter 2: Evan and Dad Analyze School Standards and Illiterate Teens

The following afternoon, Evan and Dad analyze school standards and illiterate teens after a bizarre and frustrating day of classes. By lunchtime the next day, Evan already wishes his trip had been canceled for a better reason—like a natural disaster. Or a minor alien invasion.

Anything but this.

Dad notices it the minute Evan trudges into the kitchen after school.

“Why the long face?” Dad asks.

Evan’s backpack hits the floor with a dull thud.

“I can’t talk about it,” he says.

Dad tilts his head. “That’s new. You’ve always trusted me before. What’s different now?”

“I mean, I’m not supposed to talk about it,” Evan says. “It’s like the elephant in the room that everyone pretends is invisible.”

Dad’s eyes flicker with mischief.

“Did elephants escape from the zoo and enroll in your classes?” he asks.

Evan almost smiles.

“Sort of,” he says. “But more like…illiterate A-less teens.”

Dad’s face tightens.

“Careful,” he says. “Don’t look down on people who’ve had fewer chances than you. Not everyone gets the same support. As you know, please use the official terms. Something like: ‘teens with neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by significantly impaired intellectual and adaptive functioning.’”

Evan lets out a sharp breath.

“Sure,” he says. “Or I could be honest. These undocumented, lazy underachievers just migrated up from the lower grades. No tests. No effort. They just…slid upward like sludge.”

“Evan,” Dad warns. “Be kind. Even if they’re breaking every rule of speaking and writing you’ve ever learned, they’re still human—still teens. You’re supposed to forgive them. Accept their lack of academic effort and practical sense.”

“I tried,” Evan says. “I really did. But they’re invading our classrooms like an enemy army. They’re clogging up the hallways. They’ve turned the cafeteria into a nursery with giant covered playpens.”

Dad folds his arms, playing along but with a dry edge.

“Some students with delayed motor skills are still learning to crawl and sit up,” he says solemnly. “They need private tent spaces for safety and emotional support.”

Evan shakes his head.

“The teachers took away our desks,” he says. “Everyone sits on the floor now. Walking is considered ‘erectile-supremacist’ behavior—don’t even ask—so most students crawl or drag themselves between classes. I feel like I’m in a horror movie filmed in a daycare.”

“I don’t see the problem,” Dad says. “We bought you those reinforced kneepad jeans. You’re prepared.”

“I can’t even wear my red-circle tennis shoes anymore,” Evan says. “The…uncivilized Neanderthals don’t protect their soles at all. Anyone who still walks gets accused of trying to ‘elevate’ themselves above everyone else. Like using the power of your soul to push forward is some kind of crime.”

Dad’s eyes glint.

“The sole-less students,” he says, leaning on the word, “have chosen not to develop new sole-skills. Like walking. They prefer to identify with their natural infant, crawling behavior.”

“Teachers don’t even speak English now,” Evan says. “They grunt and wave their hands.”

“Grunt-ism and hand signals are ancient, universal tools,” Dad replies. “They support diversity, equity, and inclusion for students who struggle with speech. It’s all in the policy documents.”

“The school had to hire a whole team of social-care workers,” Evan says. “They roam the halls, helping the…substandard, functionally illiterate students.”

“That’s called socialism,” Dad says softly. “Total support for unauthorized, undocumented infiltrators who can’t yet manage basic self-care. The social workers assist non-progressives who still need help getting dressed, washing, even feeding themselves.”

Evan drops into a chair.

“So explain this, then,” he says. “How does a student just appear in high school without ever passing the earlier grades? No legal requirements. No evaluations. Nothing. Why are they allowed to flood into my classroom?”

Dad sighs.

“New woke policy,” he says. “No more clinical assessments. No more standardized tests. Ranking teens by conceptual, social, and practical skills is considered oppressive. So they stopped.”

“That’s the problem,” Evan says. “If grades are optional, then excellence is optional. Why study? Why master anything? If you try for an A now, they say you’re a ‘wise-supremacist.’ Like wanting to understand something is a hate crime.”

“Meritocracy,” Dad says, “excludes the underdeveloped and immature. The unlearned haven’t discovered their soul power yet. Some of them act viciously or wildly because they don’t understand social rules.”

“The illiterates can’t keep up,” Evan says. “The rebels won’t even try. They demand that everyone else lower their behavior to match theirs. They want the whole school to identify as having behavioral and social problems.”

Dad drums his fingers on the counter.

“This is what happens,” he says, “when administrators ignore reality. They refuse to admit that some students are stuck in a primitive stage. There’s no logical thinking, no virtuous intention, no love of learning, no real-world sense. Old school standards? Gone. Outdated. Replaced with one value only: accept everything, even if it destroys learning.”

“The unlettered simpletons block any advanced work,” Evan says. “We start the day with the ABCD song, and on Thursdays we follow it with ‘99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.’ That’s our enrichment time.”

“Those songs are helpful,” Dad says. “They’re tools for the untutored.”

Evan rubs his forehead.

“You haven’t even heard about snack time,” he says. “To reduce pollution and fight climate change, some parents still come in to nurse their teenage kids. Right there. In class. I don’t exactly mind the…view, but it feels wrong.”

Dad shrugs.

“Science says breast milk is the most nutritious food for growing bodies.”

“Yeah,” Evan says. “For babies. Whatever happened to normal high school? Books, labs, teachers who actually talk?”

Dad’s face grows serious.

“The semiliterate often suffer from mental illness,” he says. “Depression. Anxiety. Eating disorders. Addiction. Schizophrenia. It’s complicated.”

Evan looks down at his hands again.

“I feel those shadows sometimes,” he admits. “The depression. The anxiety. The urge to give up. But I fight it. I push back. Most of these kids aren’t even trying. And I don’t believe they all have real disorders. Some are faking. Others just decided to identify as lazy, stupid idiots and demand everyone respect it.”

“Society lets people decide their own identity now,” Dad says quietly. “And demands that you treat their chosen illusion as truth. Psychotic or not. There’s a reckless freedom in that. Add a little drug-induced insanity, and reality becomes optional.”

Evan’s skin prickles.

“The options for transformation now,” Dad continues, “go far beyond studying, passing tests, and earning real mastery. Why work hard to become something when you can declare that you already are? The fantasy magic of imagination has been set free—cut away from responsibility, from old-fashioned worthiness.”

Evan leans back, his mind racing.

He thinks about yesterday’s talk. About divine motivation. About inspiration getting twisted. About shadows creeping into good ideas.

At school, everyone is free to crawl, fake, or pretend.

At home, he’s trying to follow a path that feels almost invisible.

He wonders, suddenly and sharply, which force is stronger.

And which one is quietly winning?
