197 | Four Teenagers Present Different Plans for the Universe and Afterlife
While standing before the crowd, Diesel proposes mixing Heaven and Hell and dissolving souls into nothing to avoid permanent suffering. The gym looks like it is hosting a pep rally for the afterlife. Bleachers strain under the weight of students, teachers, random adults, and beings that are clearly not from around here. Banners shimmer across the walls: EARTH SOUL SCHOOL — GRADUATION PLANNING SESSION. On the court, a glowing circle marks the “center stage.” Evan, Abby, Rev, and Diesel stand inside it, facing an invisible audience that stretches far beyond the gym—Heaven, Hell, and places no one has ever named. Diesel steps into the center as if he were pitching a new universe to a streaming platform. “Heaven and Hell should be mixed,” Diesel says. “There is good and bad in all of us. We have good days and bad days.” Heads in the bleachers nod. That part feels true. “So what if there are crime‑filled cities?” Diesel goes on. “The good people will move away and start nice towns.” Above the gym, the masters project images: one city blazing with neon, sirens, and shadowy alleys; another lined with trees, bike lanes, and farmers’ markets. “To keep things interesting, everything has to run on random accidental evolution,” Diesel says. “We all get hit by both good and evil, equally.” He says equally, as if it is fair to make everyone suffer together. “It is unfair to discriminate against evil and exclude addictions, perversions, and criminality,” he adds. “We all die, dissolve, and disappear in the end so something new can replace us.” His voice hardens. “Dissolving back into random atoms ends all our pain and sorrow,” Diesel says. “Becoming nothing is the easiest solution. There is only one option: dissolve into nothing.” The words echo up into the rafters and hang there. On the sideline, Lord Blue—tall, with a cobalt aura that burns like a contained star—leans toward Lord Yellow, whose light is sharp and analytical. “Why are we listening to these teenagers tell us how to create a universe?” Lord Blue asks. “There are many soulless beings on Earth who dissolve when their bodies die,” Lord Yellow answers quietly. “They have nothing to look forward to, so they look forward to being nothing.” Diesel shrugs, half‑defensive, half too honest. “I want superpowers, a miniature smite stick, and lots of candy,” Diesel says. He winces. “Oops. Strike the candy part.” Laughter ripples across the bleachers, but it doesn’t erase the chill running under his plan: a universe with no real hope, just temporary thrills and a final, quiet erase. Somewhere above the gym lights, something listens. And takes notes.
To fix the afterlife's flaws, Abby suggests a low-security Hell school and communication between Heaven and Earth. Abby steps forward next. She looks like any other girl in the hallway—floral blouse, short skirt, ponytail—but her eyes burn with a stubborn, inconvenient kindness. “I want to do a makeover of Hell,” Abby says. The word Hell lands like a dropped weight. Some kids flinch. They have grown up with it being used as a threat. “It is dark, smoky, and ugly,” Abby says. “The screaming and gnashing of teeth makes so much noise that no one can even meditate in peace.” She sounds half sarcastic, half dead serious. “My plan adds windows,” Abby continues. “Sunlight. Fresh air. Beautiful gardens and forests to calm the prisoners. A crystal river of light. Soft classical music. Maybe…air conditioning.” Overhead, A vision of Hell spins into view: flames shrinking back, stone walls opening into arches of sunlit trees, a river of white‑gold light winding between them. “The tyrannical Tempters need to be fired and replaced with kind social workers,” Abby says. “Cruelty is inhumane. It just trains prisoners to be more cruel. Divine beings should have standards above in‑humaneness.” Evan folds his arms. “The wicked are in Hell to be punished, not pampered,” Evan says. Abby doesn’t look away. “I want a low‑security Hell school for non‑Believers,” she says, “and maximum‑security torture chambers for truly irredeemable, wicked beings.” The phrase torture chambers slices through the room. Even Abby flinches. “A minimum‑security prison is built for low‑risk offenders,” she explains. “Non‑violent, minor crimes. Hell school is relaxed—a corrective campus, not a place for endless, senseless suffering.” She paces inside the glowing circle, building her strange design. “I do think some souls are so twisted they need permanent consequences,” Abby admits. “If there’s no true threat, some people will never change.” The sentence tastes bitter in her own mouth. “However,” she adds quickly, “there is always hope for many non‑Believers. We can address the underlying issues that led to their misbelief—through education, vocational training, substance abuse treatment, counseling, and other light‑torture programs.” A few kids snort at light torture, but the point digs in: what if Hell is not just punishment, but rehab? “Hell school for non‑Believers creates a safe environment away from the Tempters’ influence,” Abby says. “Training for wayward souls prepares them for eventual release and integration into Heaven. The students in Hell get self‑learning programs and real social support.” Evan nods reluctantly, seeing the outline. “Qualified, masterful heavenly beings could go to work each day in Hell school as social workers, healers, teachers, and counselors,” Evan says. “People living in Paradise could work as bakers and emissaries, delivering daily bread. Hell, students would start to feel worthy. They would want to build their wisdom, virtues, and self‑discipline.” The vision softens the rigid edges of damnation. Then Abby grimaces. “Ugh,” she says. “I don’t believe souls in Heaven should have to work. Having a job of any kind ruins my idea of an eternal vacation.” The gym laughs with her. “Still,” Abby says, steady again, “Heavenly Believers should be able to visit their non‑Believer friends and family in a low‑security, campus‑style Hell.” Her voice thins. “I will never stop loving my non‑Believer friends and family,” Abby says. “None of them are evil. They’ve been tricked by Tempters who want to capture their souls. If half the people I love are going to Hell, I want visiting rights.” Evan replies dryly. “Perfected, adopted, untalented children of God can’t be trusted to wander beyond their protective playpens,” he says. “Being made ‘perfect’ doesn’t automatically create self‑mastered, powerful mystic warriors.” Abby rolls her eyes at him, then refuses to back down. “If safe physical travel to Hell isn’t possible,” Abby says, “then we need internet and cellphone connections between Heaven and Hell.” Somewhere in the rafters, an angel winces at the phrase Heaven Wi‑Fi. “I can’t imagine a Heaven where I can’t connect with everyone I love. It would feel like Hell to me,” Abby says. “I don’t believe it’s righteous to condemn people just because they don’t believe what I believe. My Father made all of them. I want to include them.” She draws in a shaky breath. “If half my friends and family are still alive on Earth,” Abby continues, “I would want to visit them too after I die and go to heaven. I would be torn—wanting them to live long, happy lives… and also wanting them to die so we could be together again.” That confession slides through the room like a blade. A few kids stare at their shoes. “A true Paradise lets Believers in Heaven physically reunite with friends and family who are still embodied,” Abby says. “Right now, non‑Believers swear there’s no Heaven or Hell because no one comes back to report from the other side.” Above them, quick visions flash: grandparents stepping through glowing doorways; kids listening, wide‑eyed, as they describe the after‑worlds. “Can you imagine how the world would change if Grandmas and Grandpas could call home and say how amazing Heaven is or how painful Hell is?” Abby asks. “The details of the afterlife should not be secret,” she says. “Everyone deserves to know what actually happens when the body dies. A hundred billion souls have already crossed over. Humanity deserves a full report. If we knew, we’d live for what comes after, not just for money and status.” She swallows. “I just want people to be nice,” Abby says softly. “I want scammers to realize they are being bad.” The gym falls silent. Behind her jokes and redesign plans, her real fear glows: eternity without the people she loves. And somewhere far below the gym floor, something in Hell shifts as it hears her.
Taking a completely different approach, Rev argues for endless reincarnation on Earth and the elimination of Heaven and Hell. Rev steps into the circle. His energy feels different—older, like he has already tried a thousand paths and gotten burned on most of them. “There is only one choice,” Rev says. “Everyone must keep returning to Earth in new bodies. Forever.” A few kids groan. Infinite school. “Eventually, we realize that wisdom and virtue are the only path to world peace,” Rev says. “Physical power and wealth are temporary. They are not worth the punishment in your next lifetime.” He speaks like someone who has already paid the price.
Savior steps closer, eyes narrowed. “A decadent Earth cannot become Heaven,” the Savior says. Rev lifts his chin. “Then we include both,” Rev answers. “Heaven and Hell learn to respect each other’s boundaries. No final judgment. No permanent Heaven. No permanent Hell. Just Earth, again and again.” The crowd stirs—uneasy at the idea of no closure, no final verdict. “The old plan extends Heaven down to Earth and sweeps all evil into Hell,” Rev says. “Hell expands tenfold. Half of Earth’s population gets dumped there.” He makes a face like he tastes that plan and hates it. “In my plan, no new souls are needed,” Rev says. “Souls in Hell are freed from pointless torment. Socialist souls in Paradise are sent back to Earth to work for their daily bread. Believers don’t get their debts magically erased. Everyone is accountable. No more prisons. No more eternal vacations.” He opens his hands to the invisible crowd. “Life becomes a continuing variety of human experiences,” he says. “We keep evolving toward harmonious world peace. All violent criminals receive instant death penalties.”
Abby recoils. “Capital punishment is cruel and pointless,” she says. “Disadvantaged crooks need rehabilitation.” Rev shakes his head. “Violence, deception, and terrorism are not entertainment in my universe,” Rev says. “All criminals die. Their spirits are reborn. But their crimes end now.” He looks past the gym ceiling, into some future version of Earth. “The old plan ends where half of souls live happily ever after in Heaven, and half live unhappily ever after in Hell,” Rev says. “My plan brings equity, fairness, diversity, and inclusion for all non‑violent lifestyles.” He means it. His universe is harsh, but he is done with hypocrisy. And the cosmic scoreboard takes note.
Refusing to accept a passive existence, Evan demands a war against evil Tempters using mystic fire and five worlds to train the ultimate spirit warriors. Evan steps forward, eyes burning like someone just turned up the voltage. “We need a new design for the spirit and soul,” Evan says. “Souls are created with divine potential,” he continues, “and they have to develop that potential through research, experimentation, and practice. Earth is a soul school. As long as there is free will, Earth stays vulnerable to corruption.” He scans the bleachers—kids with scars on their arms and secrets behind their jokes. “The physical world must be separate from the spiritual world,” Evan says, “so free‑willed creators can safely work with mystic fire.” He is not interested in a padded, eternal nursery. “School doesn’t work by force‑feeding or doing nothing,” Evan says. “You need consequences. Feedback. That’s how you prove to yourself what works and what fails. The proof is in the results of your experimentation, not what someone tells you to blindly believe.” Above them, screens show scenes of cause and effect: choices branching into outcomes, some glowing, some shattering. “The goal isn’t to crawl into Heaven as a talentless, obedient slave,” Evan says. “The goal is to become wise and virtuous. Souls have to explore, discover, and master their mystic powers.” He inhales. “I think we need five worlds and seven afterlife options,” Evan says. Murmurs ripple through the gym as people try to map it. “Soul students must develop their powers to protect themselves and their friends from evil enemies,” Evan continues. “Pretending evil doesn’t exist or ignoring attacks will not end well.” He glances at Diesel’s corner of the circle, where the fantasy of dissolving into nothing now looks a lot like surrender. “I want a full‑scale war against the Tempters,” Evan says, voice sharpening. “Heaven and Earth united. We reverse the darkness and roll it back onto itself. Reflect the wave. Make it crash over its own source.” In his inner vision—and now on the holographic screens—black waves of energy roar toward a shoreline of fire. At the last second, the fire bends them backward. The darkness folds in on itself. “The Savior is building an army of mystic fire‑breathing warriors,” Evan says. “They will launch holy fire into the pits of Hell. Embodied souls are already authorized to be physical outposts of the divine. Soul students must speak the Truth that sets humanity free from false beliefs.” Abby starts to object. “What right—” she begins. Evan cuts through her words. “What’s missing is weapons,” he says. “People ‘believe’, but they don’t know how power works. The power of prayer is anchored in a wise understanding of cosmic laws. Virtue‑fed Holy Fire is the ammunition. The nine powers of the Holy Spirit steer the waves of fire that rise from the threefold flame.” As he speaks, his own threefold flame brightens at his heart—blue, yellow, pink—twisting into a stronger column of light. “I want people to live for their best afterlife option,” Evan says, “and help others do the same.” His tone drops into something like a spell. “Be graceful instead of just faithful or prideful,” Evan says. “Be spiritually skillful instead of full of fantasy. Be full of the greatness of God instead of puffed up with human pride. Seek self‑mastery so you can be worthy of the Holy Spirit.” Energy crackles around his words. “Be empowered with mystic fire to vanquish evil, not just resist it,” Evan continues. “Walk the path that makes you wise, loving, powerful—like the Savior. Full of the Holy Spirit's power. Become a voice commanding a flaming sphere, not some sheet‑draped ghost with two eye holes.” Laughter ripples at the ghost image. But in their minds, students suddenly see themselves differently—less haunted, more blazing. “Combine thought, vision, and feeling to create a spoken fire‑breath,” Evan says. He inhales as if to demonstrate, then exhales slowly, the word barely audible: “In the name of the Great Central Sun, I call for the Reversing of the tide of darkness. Let it roll back onto the Tempters who sent it.” Even raises his arms with palms facing outward. Repeat after me, "Roll it back, roll it back, roll it back. Set all free, set all free. Set all free." Most of the crowd leaps to their feet, extend their arms and shout at full volume, "Roll it back, roll it back, roll it back. Set all free, set all free. Set all free." The walls and ceiling visibly bulge as the air expands from the electrostatic charge of sacred fire. A shiver rolls through the unseen realms. “Right now, Believers are empowered by their beliefs instead of their threefold flame,” Evan says. Abby throws up her hands. “Our belief verifies the credibility of our beliefs,” Abby argues. “All our beliefs support one another. Our expectations ratify our assumptions. Isn’t it better to believe in the Savior than to be sorry?” Evan shakes his head. “Be filled with the Holy Spirit instead of blind faith,” Evan says. “Be driven by self‑mastery instead of expectations. ‘Be ye perfect, even as your Father is perfect.’ That’s the assignment.”
Rejecting the idea of eternal prisons, the Savior plans to invade Hell with violet fire to destroy evil at its very core. The Savior steps into the center again, light pulsing around him like a giant heartbeat. “I want a new mission,” the Savior says. “I want to do more than sweep darkness into Hell.” The gym quiets instantly. “Casting out the Tempters is not enough,” the Savior continues. “I am not interested in dragging Heaven down onto a physical Earth. I want to bring Heaven into Hell.” Lord Blue frowns, aura tightening. “You have it backward,” Lord Blue says. “Heaven comes to Earth so you can be the world leader.” The Savior shakes his head. “That will never happen while Hell still exists,” the Savior says. “Sweeping the dirt of evil under Hell’s carpet doesn’t clean the house. It just hides the mold.” The Savior’s voice hardens. “My Father did not create Hell,” the Savior says. “My Father does not support Hell. Darkness keeps increasing as long as we keep evil imprisoned there.” Abby clutches her notebook. “The scribbles say you must sweep away all evil,” Abby protests. “You don’t have the authority to make evil vanish.” The Savior looks at her, eyes full of both affection and challenge. “Resisting evil and pushing it away is not enough,” the Savior says. “We have to expose it, separate it, starve it. Sending it back to Hell does not eliminate it. Hell must be transmuted, not filled with more criminals. The wicked must be eliminated or redeemed, not left to rot in an eternal prison so they can fester and multiply. Criminality is already oozing out of the pits of Hell.”
Lord Blue nods grimly. “Criminality is supported and nurtured by your society,” Lord Blue says. “You glorify it. You market it as a ‘rebellious alternative’ to so‑called boring virtues. True freedom is being wise and virtuous. Humanity was not given the freedom to be stupid and perverted.” The Savior looks around, then up beyond the gym ceiling. “I give up on bringing Heaven to Earth,” the Savior says quietly. “Instead, I will bring Heaven to Hell. I will mobilize a powerful spiritual army to invade the core of humanity’s corruption. We will fill the pits of Hell with sacred violet fire.” As the Savior speaks, a vision unfolds above them: bottomless chasms of hatred and misery being flooded with violet flame—not to torture, but to transform. “As long as Hell exists beneath Earth, it keeps corrupting Earth,” the Savior says. “Earth cannot be saved while Hell survives. The idea of immortalizing evil by torturing souls forever is insane.” Lord Green steps forward, carrying the calm weight of forests and storms. “I have pointed this out before,” Lord Green says gently, “but the law requires there only be two choices.” The Savior nods. “There is still only one real afterlife option,” the Savior says. “Be the threefold flame in your own heart. Become a powerful, wise, virtuous divine presence.” The gym goes completely silent. No up‑there versus down‑there. No cheap escape. Just: become the flame, or keep feeding the dark.
As the event comes to a close, Evan, Abby, Rev, and Diesel reflect on their different universe designs and the massive consequences of their choices. The assembly slowly dissolves. Beings of light fade out. Projections dim. The shimmering banners lose their glow, but the words linger in everyone’s minds. Students drift out of the bleachers in stunned clusters, whisper‑arguing about which plan makes sense, which is terrifying, which feels dangerously tempting. On the empty court, Evan, Abby, Rev, and Diesel linger in the fading glow of the circle. Each of them carries a universe in their chest:
* Diesel: mix Heaven and Hell, then dissolve into nothing and avoid pain.
* Abby: reform Hell with gardens, counselors, Wi‑Fi, and visiting hours.
* Rev: endless Earth, no final Heaven, no final Hell, repeat until you learn.
* Evan: five worlds, seven options, and an actual war against darkness.
* The Savior: invade Hell itself and burn corruption out at the root.
In the quiet gym, Evan feels his threefold flame pulse harder. Abby feels her heart ache for every friend she fears. Rev feels his data‑driven Oversoul blueprints scraping against the raw new truth of himself. Diesel feels the cold echo at the center of his “nothingness” plan. Outside, the regular world waits: Homework. Climate headlines. Racism. Bullying. Bills. Burnout. Temptations are hiding in every scroll and feed. Inside, something else starts to move. It rises from each soul’s flame, reaching out—thin threads at first, then stronger—toward others who dare to question, to care, to fight. No one leaves the gym with all the answers. But each of them walks out with one burning question: Which universe am I secretly designing with my choices? Far beneath the school, in ancient layers of shadow, Hell itself flickers, as if it senses that this time, the war will not stop at its gates.
Chapter Synopsis:
This document details chapters 1 through 6 of the narrative within the Crysticism framework, capturing an unprecedented graduation planning session and cosmic assembly held in a high school gymnasium where four teenagers—Diesel, Abby, Rev, and Evan—pitch their respective designs for the universe and the afterlife. Diesel proposes mixing Heaven and Hell and ultimately dissolving all souls into nothingness to end pain; Abby advocates for reforming Hell into a low-security corrective campus complete with social workers, rehabilitation, and Wi-Fi visiting hours for loved ones; Rev argues for endless reincarnation on Earth without a final Heaven or Hell; and Evan demands a rigorous soul school featuring five worlds, seven options, and a holy-fire counter-offensive to roll back the wave of darkness. Finally, the Savior rejects the passive model of bringing Heaven to Earth while leaving Hell intact, announcing instead a radical military mission to invade Hell itself with sacred violet fire to transmute and destroy evil at its root.
Core Themes & Laws:
The Rejection of Dissolution and Apathy: The critique of Diesel's "nothingness" plan, recognizing that souls with real potential cannot find fulfillment in permanent erasure or a universe running on unmitigated random evolution.
Rehabilitating the Afterlife (Abby’s Hell School): The radical proposition of transforming Hell from an eternal torture chamber into a minimum-security corrective campus equipped with counseling, education, and family visitation rights.
Endless Earth School (Rev’s Reincarnation Model): The perspective that spiritual evolution requires continuous return to Earth across multiple lifetimes rather than a permanent, static division of humanity into eternal winners and losers.
Invading Hell with Violet Fire (The Savior’s New Mission): The ultimate Crystic realization that sweeping evil under the carpet of Hell only allows corruption to fester, necessitating an active military invasion of the dark pits using sacred violet fire to transmute evil at its core.
