Since clairvoyance is similar to an OBE, It's safe to say the same could be said for OBE's. If you read part 1 and 2 from this link it may help you understand what the purpose of Astral projection is and how it's just the beginning. They may not let me put a link since I'm so new but it is under the Articles tab, Out of body experiences, OBE articles, Treatise on astral projection.
PS. Clairvoyance is not an out of body experience. It's a sixth sense, a kind of intuition.

But a specific purpose? If you look what AP is, it's just the ability to exist in another environment, whether of our making or not (because more than that is just belief system) and what we do with this is the same thing we do in the material environment- we experience it, and if we're lucky, we learn something from it. More than that, well, you know.
Yes, that's true. It's an experience like any other.

It's funny how synchronicity works.
It seems its fun for some people, not everything is for everyone. :heart:
Do you have the link to the talk he made?
Re: Spiritual purpose of Astral Projection
There is NO overall purpose. It just IS. It exists.
It is a part of the general construct of reality (made by / coming from "Source") we experience, like the physical.
If your goal is to learn you learn. If your goal is to have fun you have fun. If your goal is to help you help. Like in the physical. You choose.

I listened to a few, I have to listen to them again to find the exact one & they're quite long but I think it's this one:

Re: Spiritual purpose of Astral Projection
Thank you. Sorry I didn't see your post. Yes but I just don't see the point of how it would help me?

For what it's worth, maybe Kurt Leland's take on it (btw, he was once a member of this forum!) might help you. He claims it IS vital to spiritual development and helps you to become a 'multidimensional human' in many ways, hence it's the title of one of his books about using AP to spiritually 'evolve'.

(...) pursuing psychic development and astral projection as a spiritual practice allows us to access these planes, climbing them like a ladder until we reach one of our developmental goals as human beings: the ultimate bliss of oneness with the Source of all being
I recommend of course reading the entire book then and not just this short abstract from his website.
