"My point is that when our physical existence ends there is no spirit or soul that goes on independently."

This is a belief characteristic of Western Civilization. It is not universally followed. Some western sects and most eastern religions and philosophies believe in reincarnation. Early Christians believed in reincarnation but it was thrown out of Christianity at the Council of Nicea, the point at which Christianity became the official state religion of the Roman Empire. Some say this was done so that the priests would gain power over the people though instilling the fear of eternal damnation to those who defied their authority.

There is anecdotal evidence of reincarnation, particularly among younger children.
