From God, in Genesis.
Man was made in God's image:
Father, Son, Holy Spirit / mind, body, human spirit

According to the History channel, it was on a cloudless day, when, out of the BLUE, a Homo erectus woman and child were struck down by a lightening bolt. After someone killed a deer (or a deer-like animal), the little girl simultaneously woke up! Her grieving brother ascribed this "miracle" to the killing of the deer and a subsequent transfer of spirits. Though he was totally off-base (the mom did NOT wake up), you can all blame HIM for the start of RELIGION, one of the sources of all our woes!
Oh, Homo Erectus,
Still, you plague us!
With your zany ideas
and your many fears
about death and such...
It's all too much!
Why did your brain
cause you so much pain,
that you had to invent,
from nature a sacrament,
To follow us through ages,
Baffling all our sages?
Well look what you did!
Just because of that kid
---Religion's got us hog-tied,
Mentally strung up and
willing suckers to lies...
Oh, Homo erectus...I hate you so!
MY life'd be better if we didn't know,
that religion is just a giant sham,
Did you also plague Neandertal Man?
Homo erectus, you did NOT know!
Now we're saddled with a thousand beliefs.
They cause wars, they bring us so much grief.
It all started because of you,
'Cause you couldn't take what
Nature could do.
Well, too damned bad, Homo erectus man!
You had no business messing with the plan
That Nature gave us to follow,
We were happy that way.
You just couldn't swallow...
The TRUTH!
There is no master plan.
The TRUTH!
We just live as we can.
The TRUTH...
We know that it's out there
The TRUTH
There's no god who cares...
So why don't you just crawl
Back into your desert hole,
or Ice-age cave,
We can forget the curse you gave
To all mankind or bury it deep
In a pit in the sand where it will keep,
Until the next loony comes along,
Sees a "sign" and goes along
with whatever insanity enters his head,
Not content to accept the dead.
He'll keep thinking 'til he's killed us all,
Thousands of years haven't changed us...
At all!
Homo erectus man! You're so damned "deep"!
Homo erotic man...you're such a creep!
Keep your thoughts to yourself.
Keep your nutso, friggin' delusional thoughts...
ON the SHELF!!!
H. Erectus..
H. Erectus...
Repeat...

It's interesting to note that although every single culture describes the spirit in different ways, all believe that some force operates from within themselves. Be it religious belief of a moving spirit, or psychological belief of an uncontrolled subconscious, or historical perspectives of man's will, regardless of how they describe it, they all seek to describe that spirit.

We just can't imagine ourselves not existing. When we think, it seems like something separate from ourselves doing the thinking. We even talk to ourselves. Although it is really just the brain working, it is experienced as a cohesive entity separate from the brain.
So, it is natural that we think there is a spirit, though there aren't any.

We have different stages of our life—the bodily concept of life, the mental concept of life, the intellectual concept of life, and the spiritual concept of life.
Those who are grossly in ignorance, they are thinking in terms of bodily concept of life; those who are little more advanced, they are thinking in terms of mental or psychological concept of life; and those who are still more advanced, they are thinking in terms of spiritual concept of life. The truth is spirit, not this matter. Matter is truth, subordinate to spirit. On the basis of spirit, the matter grows, just like our body has grown on the basis of our spiritual existence. Meaning the origeng is spirit, the supreme spirit.
God says in Bhagavad gita:
"I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts."
"I am the origin of everything." Everything means the spiritual and material universes also. Whatever you can imagine, that comes within the category of everything.

Wishfull thinking. People want there to be something else after death.
