Why the physical body?

One small question? If we come to this world from the astral and then leave it to the astral why the physical body in between? And now were all trying to get out of our physical body's! Hmmmm

Because we need a physical body to experience the physical world. Simple as that I think. The question then, is why experience the physical world atall?

Only in the physical world can we experience all the joys and sorrows of life, the newborn child, the art and literature, the huge range of emotions, fears and desires.

There is bound to be exploration between different states of existence. We are curious by nature. The "slow" vibration of the physical state provides for a unique playground and experiences.

Speaking for myself: It is not that I am desperately trying to "get out", it is simply curious exploration of our true nature. I revel in being human...

There are several areas of understanding that are needed in order to even generally understand an answer to this question, which is paramount to Spiritual Evolution. And due to the fact that this question is very important, it deserves to be looked into with a lot of introspection.

Before the answer to this question can be understood, you first must understand that we do not originate in the astral realms, but that they are a level of creation in which our Minds can "visit". It must be understood that there are many levels of creation, and that each level has it's purpose and being. It must be understood that our bodies are an embryonic image projected into this vibrational frequency from our Higher Soul-Self in order to bring about Soul Birth while still in the body (not after death), and that until this is accomplished, our Higher Soul-Self is only a seed of potential in the physical realm, and lies dormant within our body. The body is the meeting grounds for the upper Heavenly Kingdom, and the Lower Earthly Kingdom.

The body is of utmost importance, so much that it is referred to as the Temple of God in Scriptures that were written in a manner to guide the true seekers to the Most High.

Why is the physical body so important? Because it is the embodiment of your works. And it is these works that will permit even the smallest amount of Spiritual Evolution to occur.

While in the astral, you can observe many of the affects of the human condition, it is only in the physical where we can truly experience it first hand and make any gains.

Why not?

I can only speak for myself, but that's not the only reason I do that- you see, when you are non-incarnate, you have a different perspective of the reality you inhabit- whatever that is.  But when you are in body and still can experience out of body states, you can use the body-state (that is, your conscious mind and your brain) and bring it to the astral.  If you're only discarnate, you can't do that.
Or, what Broylson said. 

So why? Because we can.
