The approach of magical thinkers is that they also get to see life disappearing before their very eyes, but somehow they know that part of us lives on and either ascends upwards, descends downwards, or floats around waiting to hitch a lift on a new life.

My views are actually completely humble to nature, anyone positing about things that happen after death have all the arrogance, and all of the work ahead of them.

Apart from the emboldended sentence, the rest of your post is self-righteous conjecture.
