Yes! That's more or less what I was trying to get at with my argument on science. I also would like to witness convincing evidence that there is more to reality than meets the eye, but it's more than a personal thing; think of how revolutionary it would be for humanity to have widespread spiritual knowledge. I can only believe this would enhance our perspective of reality and help us overcome many of the problems we have today, so if many people have to leave the comfort of their current religious/metaphysical beliefs behind
... too bad!!! Unless it turns out that the afterlife is actually some version of Hell
(in which case I would prefer to remain ignorant), then the overriding of religious beliefs is a justifiable loss.
This "spiritual rule" does seem very unfair. Why make us live in ignorance by not revealing the truth? Even if that truth turns out to be that truth itself is entirely up to the individual, they (spirits) could at least convey this message to us!
To claim that revealing such truth would be immoral is backwards. NOT showing us the truth is the greater crime IMO.
