None of what you said here makes scriptural sense though.

1. What is this "meditating" you say you do? Where in the Gospels did Jesus Christ send anyone to engage in any such ritual?

2. Why in the world are you even considering the destruction of spirits? What "spirit" are you asking of?

3. Spirit multiply? How?

These ideas you hold to are foreign to scripture, so are you attempting to get help with this from a Babalawo on this issue or what?

The major thing people should channel there energy to.. Is building and preparing there mind for freedom to reason, purely out of any religious doctrine or nonsensical teachings that is unscientic .

NNTR:
... taking into consideration the fact that man is tripartite, is made up with, a soul, spirit and body, as created by the Maker, God.

Unlike the body, that is physical, the soul and spirit, are not physical. The soul and spirit constitute an immaterial part of a whole person or being, whether human or animal.

Now dwelling further on man, the soul, is the animate life, and actually, is that humanity side of man, the seat, where our emotions, senses, desires, affections, appetites, character etc all emanates out from.

In fact, the word, soul, even is used to refer to the whole person, whether alive on earth (i.e. land of the living) and/or after dead and transited in the afterlife (i.e. land of dead)

Wrapping up, the soul is the essence of what a human being is. The soul,is you, it is who you are. No surprises then, that, it is the soul that faces judgment, not the spirit and neither, not the body that stands before God, to give account for all the thoughts, deeds, words and actions did while the soul and spirit were housed in the body.

Focusing on the spirit, the spirit actually and appropriately, is ruach, otherwise known as, the breath of God, and in reality, also known as, life force. Now, at this juncture, it is necessary, to note that, though humans and animals have spirit, (i.e. ruach, otherwise known as, the breath of God, and in reality, also known as, life force) they however are not spirits nor Spirit (i.e. God)

The spirit (i.e. ruach, otherwise known as, the breath of God, and in reality, also known as, life force) in relation to humans, is the element in humanity that gives us the ability to have, not just only a connection with God, but also used to form an intimate relationship with God through it. Essentially, meaning that, part of what the spirit is used for, is to connect to God with, who Himself is Spirit, the Life-force, and giver of ruach, otherwise known as, the wind or breath of God

When the soul is the seat, where our emotions, senses, desires, affections, appetites, character etc all emanates out from, Proverbs 20:27, lets us know that, the spirit of man (i.e. talking of conscience here, and where as it happens, conscience, is one of the faculties of the spirit), is the lamp of the LORD, searching and examining all the innermost parts of his being, while 1 Corinthians 2:11, complementing, says, no one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. You see, the spirit, doubles up also as a witness. It knows everything about the person, and this because of the 'record' it logs

While the soul has four faculties, which namely are: Consciousness, Intellect, Will and Emotions, now, as for the spirit, aside Conscience, the other faculties of the spirit, are Fellowship and Discernment or Intuition. It is when man’s spirit successfully connects to or connects with the Spirit, that it is becomes capable of knowing things of the Spirit (i.e. God). While the soul, is the humanity side of man, the seat, where our emotions, senses, desires, affections, appetites, character etc all emanates out from, even giving us a purpose and/or sense of life, the spirit, on the other hand, is the temple throne seat of God in man, it not only is, the nourisher of soul, but it also gives us a power of life, from tuning into the God frequency channel or station and receiving transmitted spiritual signals thereof. Somebody, shout, Alleluia.

Physical pain, can with medicine, be made less severe, but mental pain (e.g. sorrow, grief, torment, despair, anguish, depression, dementia etc) is less accessible to treatment. Why is this? It's because of being connected to who we are - our personality, our character, our soul. Try and connect the dots, in the the parable of Lazarus and the dead rich man

Yes, the soul and the spirit are connected, yet we know, courtesy of Hebrews 4:12, that, they are able to be separated and are treated separately

In summary, the spirit, is the spark of light, the living or life force in the body, while the soul is kind of interface between spirit and body

The body dies (i.e. physically), it is because the spirit (i.e. life or living force) has expired, so the spirit stops existing in the body, from leaving the body and returning back to God, while the soul leaves the body, and moves on to a waiting area, pending the Judgment Day and verdict of where the last destination of the soul, will be. The body, after the exit of the spirit, experiences physical death, disintegrates, to end up, returning back, to being dust.

1 Timothy 6:16
He alone can never die,
and He lives in light so brilliant that no human can approach Him.
No human eye has ever seen Him, nor ever will.
All honor and power to Him forever! Amen.

Aside from, the underlined telling, in Deuteronomy 4:15, John 4:24 and Exodus 33:201 above, we also see in Timothy 6:16, that apart from God, alone possessing or having immortality (i.e. absolute exemption from death), we see that because of the fact that He lives in unapproachable light, no human being has ever seen or can see Him.

Now, if no one has seen God, nor can see God, then how possibly can God be seen, if at all, He can be physically seen then? Well, the only way to answer this seemingly confusing question and difficult problem is, by giving an answer that goes like this: the only way to physically see God, is through Jesus, who is God Incarnate, meaning God in human flesh, God personified, so meaning that, God presents Himself available to be seen, the way that Jesus in physical appearance looks

Unlike the soul, the spirit, aka ruach, aka breath of God (i.e. lifeforce) cannot be destroyed, because, from simply being a part of God, (i.e. from emanating from God) is indestructible.

Though the spirit cant be destroyed, does upon expiration in the body, change from its body place of residence to another place (i.e. returns back to its owner, that being, God)

No. The God of the Bible very well intends to destroy the wicked spirits.

Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to DESTROY us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

Revelation 20:14

This is the second death, the lake of fire [the eternal separation from God].

Wicked spirits (i.e. disembodied wicked spirits, aka, wicked extra terrestrial spirits pka demons or fallen angels) will be cast into the Lake of Fire.

Any soul (i.e. human being) whose name is not found written in the book of life will end up in the Lake of Fire to be destroyed along with sin, hades and death

Of course. But in view of what Hebrews 2:14 says, that Jesus will destroy the wicked spirits, (according to Mark 1:24, they themselves are aware that their end is destruction) the lake of fire must b understood to be symbolic of irreversible destruction. That's why death and grave will be thrown into it. If it were literal, it wouldn't make sense for abstract realities like death and grave to be cast into this fiery lake.
The verse itself explains it's symbolism by saying it means the second death, much like congregations are compared to lampstands @ Revelation 1:20, but no one insists that literal lampstands are meant, nor does anyone insist that the two witnesses in Revelation 11:3, 4 are two literal olive trees.
If we understand the symbolic nature of these verses, we also should understand the symbolic nature of the verse which plainly tells us that it means “the second death.”

Keep in mind too that Revelation 21:4 says about death that it will be no more, i.e, it will cease to exist. 2 Thessalonians 1:8 says that the wicked receive “everlasting destruction” as their portion, so like Hebrews 2:14, it plainly says without symbolisms what the end of the wicked will be.

Of course spirits can be destroyed but first they must be fully convicted before their death that's why the Bible said about dead Jesus:

"For Christ died once for all time for sins, a righteous person for unrighteous ones, in order to lead you to God. He was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit. And in this state he went and preached to the spirits in prison" 1Peter 3:18-19

Jesus was a powerful spirit in heaven before his earthly mission so if he could be dead for days then God has the power to transform the life of all rebellious spirits into that which is liable to die in fact those rebellious angels are now worried knowing fully well that they are destructible but how?
They need to know through the mouth of Jesus' disciples to whom God will reveal most secrets! 1Peter 1:12

Of course. But in view of what Hebrews 2:14 says, that Jesus will destroy the wicked spirits, (according to Mark 1:24, they themselves are aware that their end is destruction) the lake of fire must b understood to be symbolic of irreversible destruction.

Mark 1:23-27
23Suddenly a man with an evil spirit in him entered the synagogue and yelled,
24“Jesus from Nazareth, what do you want with us?
Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are!
You are God's Holy One.”
25Jesus told the evil spirit,
“Be quiet and come out of the man!”
26The spirit shook him. Then it gave a loud shout and left.
27Everyone was completely surprised and kept saying to each other,
“What is this? It must be some new kind of powerful teaching!
Even the evil spirits obey Him.”

Not just only a matter of irreversible destruction, but also a case of wicked spirits (i.e. disembodied wicked spirits, aka, wicked extra terrestrial spirits pka demons or fallen angels) as well as souls (i.e. human beings) will experience an annihilation coupled with an ever deepening sense of eternal separation, disconnection and arrested disfellowshipped from God

Dustbinbint:

Wicked is relative, depending whether used in relation to souls or used in relation to spirits (i.e. disembodied wicked spirits, aka, wicked extra terrestrial spirits pka demons or fallen angels), nevertheless both souls and demons (i.e. humans and fallen angels) will face considerable and unequivocable destruction

Death and grave, by then would have already largely outlived their usefulness, so the reason why they will be gotten rid of the Lake of Fire. The destroying act should be taken both literally and symbolically

Mark 1:23-27

I don't agree with that. Fire causes irreversible destruction. So, for that reason, it is used as a symbol of irreversible destruction. But destruction itself has a very literal sense. See what Romans 16:20 says about Satan's eventuality: he will be completely crushed, violently put out of existence.

The ‘eternal separation from God’ theory is not something that the Bible teaches at all.
The scriptures that plainly explain death are Job 14:10-12 and Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, and it is quite clear from them that death is an indefinite sleep state where one enters into complete unawareness, nonexistence, unconsciousness.
And unless God chooses to awaken them at some point in time, they will remain that way.

Which God or deity do you keep referring to? OR better still, who fed you these stories you cling to? At least let's start from there.

There are over 4000 deities out there, so you need to be specific. I am 100% certain that the God you describe is not the God of Scripture, and what you describe does not sound much like the Allah of the Muslims, nor Zeus of the greeks. So you need to be more specific about the deity you seem to have a problem with.

If spirits don't multiply, how did God have a Son. Jesus Christ is begotten of the Father. And he is not the only spirit child of the Father.

Dustbinbint:
I don't agree with that.

What specifically dont you agree to?

After your death, one will be what one was before one's birth (i.e. a soul, as opposed being a spirit)

Now, the combustion in the Lake of Fire, just like the incinerator refuse dump, Gehenna, a place where corpses of criminals, dead animals and all manners of wastes, refuse et cetera were thrown to be destroyed in ancient Jerusalem and its smouldering, that, to the Israelites, literally goes on forever.

Might interest you to know that, death, hell and souls dont continue burning after already being done combusted. No souls, registers pain forever, no soul registers pain, after combustion is done. The destruction however, is for a future time, its always (i.e. or coining your earlier phrase, suffer an irreversible destruction)

Ephesians 4:18
for their [moral] understanding is darkened and their reasoning is clouded;
[they are] alienated and self-banished from the life of God [with no share in it; this is]
because of the [willful] ignorance and spiritual blindness that is [deep-seated] within them,
because of the hardness and insensitivity of their heart

Cycling back, death, depending on what the perspective is, essentially can equate to any, if not all, of the below:
1a. Death is separation (i.e. Fundamentally, anyone without a meaningful relationship with God, and accepting Jesus as His Lord and Saviour is spiritually dead, from being spiritually disconnected from God) Death, essentially can end a life, and even relationship
1b. Death resembles sleep, from the fact that, the realm of the dead is completely inactive, inoperative and oblivious to current events in the land of the living
2. Death can be spiritua. a soul)lly induced and happen pdq immediately (e.g. eat off, the fruit of Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil (i.e.ToKGE)
3. Death can be physically induced and happen in the future or in the fullness of time (e.g. Adam, physically died, after living 910 years on earth)
4. Death is not a punishment, but is a law and painful truth

Dustbinbint:
Fire causes irreversible destruction. So, for that reason, it is used as a symbol of irreversible destruction. But destruction itself has a very literal sense.

Destruction can be both symbolical and literal

Romans 16:20
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.
The [wonderful] grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

If you want to dwell on Satan, who, incidentally, as it happens, is a disembodied wicked spirit, aka, wicked extra terrestrial spirit pka devil, a fallen star or angel, then is Romans 16:20 speaking both literally and symbolically, at all, about Satan's clearly stated defined end of the line destination and inevitable foredoom? Hmm?

Dustbinbint:
The ‘eternal separation from God’ theory is not something that the Bible teaches at all.

John 16:13
“But whenever The Spirit of The Truth comes,
He will lead you into the whole truth,
for He will not speak of His own will,
but He shall speak whatever He shall hear
and He shall reveal the future to you.”

John 14:26
But the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby),
the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name
[in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf],
He will teach you all things.
And He will help you remember everything that I have told you

The Spirit of truth, aka Holy Spirit, is a game changer, as He effects, a significant shift in current way(s) of doing or thinking about something, read or known about from the Bible.

The Spirit of truth, leads one, into the whole truth. Will guide you into all the truth (i.e. full and complete truth) Where the bible is silent, or ends at a subject matter, the Spirit of truth, with measured tread(s), marches on, teaching and revealing to us (i.e. meaning, you and us) ALL things.

Its like when being in kindergarten or pre school, one is taught that the smallest number is , and believing so post kindergarten.
