What the personality (body/mind/spirit) perceives has most of the time very little to do with what the soul/spirit perceives and/or intents.

not any more than wishing a punch to stop will stop your face from hurting as you get punched in the face.

I could wish and wish and wish, it's not going to stop what is.

It is quite an assumption you have made that most people with such jobs deny spirit. Whatever a person believes, an mind that is open to being mistaken is perhaps most conducive to learning and development. However, fear of not knowing what is round the corner is a natural human instince and belief being seen as knowledge counteracts that fear. This is why, whether they are scientists or spiritualists, people believe whatever they believe to be real.

My belief that something continues after death brings me comfort, but I am open to what form that may take and feel interested in other views.

If you were a parent would you give your toddler a gun because he asked for it? Sure energy can be reformed. Deciding to end your existence isn't something that is allowed until every option has been tried.

Some people want oblivion in the next life. Neither conscious of Hell nor Heaven.I dont think this option is avaialable to be honest. Possibly our job is to accept and transcend any suffering we have in this life.

So, what happens with someone skeptic that says life has no meaning, that considered this life mundane and really wants to stop existing after death?
