Years ago My mother told me that my father said he was able to see mine and my brother's energy bodies above our physical bodies when we slept.
I also remember from the Book of Genesis that God said "We made Man in our image". Well since God supposedly has no physical body I believe what was meant was our spiritual bodies. So I believe our spiritual bodies are our true bodies and our physical bodies are to teach and test us so we may evolve spiritually.
Why I want and continue to study and learn OBE and AP because a chance to be free of a physical body temporarily to explore is very appealing to me.

What are my reasons?

* Astral travel is a FUN experience.
* I want to talk to my grandpa who passed away. I realize that because I astral travel sometimes by accident that my spirit might have already visited him, rather my conscious mind knows it or not.
* I'm Christian. Astral travel proves many quotes mentioned in the Bible.
* Explore other Spirit dimensions, including the Astral dimension.

The awareness and knowing that your Spirit is a separate entity from the physical body itself is life-changing. If you've read psychic medium books and you're aware that the medium is legitimate, and you yourself astral travel, you pretty much know for a fact your spirit lives on.

All in all, astral travel is an awesome experience.

When I was younger, I thought that if we humans had the potential to develop that kind of abilities, we should just learn as much as we could about them because we were meant to.

* To travel and explore other realms
* To paint what I see (I can't paint but still, it would be interesting)
* To get inspiration for stories (I also plan to use lucid dreaming for that)
* To learn lessons from spirits
* To discover more about healing and energy work in general
* To talk about a few things with my mom who passed away
* To visit my deceased pets (finally a chance to really talk to them lol)
* To have fun.

Great topic!

My reasons are:

-Because it's just FUN and COOL!
-Because I love being weightless (floating/flying)
-To visit loved ones I miss (even if they can't see me!)
-To feel closer God and more enlightened about His creations
-Because it's something I can try to teach others once I get it down pat
