Is Astral Projection Worthwhile for Personal Development?

Steve Pavlina, who runs the well-known blog and published author of "Personal Development for Smart People", answers a sought after question - is astral projection worth the time and effort for self-improvement?
Steve says, "YES!" while he describes his introduction to having out of body experiences through his wife and the continuing experiences that he has while astral projecting.
What’s there for personal development in astral traveling? Is it worthwhile to pursue the astral world and neglect the physical world?
I first learned about real astral projection in 1994. Before that I only knew the phony version as depicted in movies and computer games. For me astral exploration was a natural extension of lucid dreaming, although the two experiences are quite different. I learned both from Erin, who’s an accomplished lucid dreamer and astral traveler. She even wrote a novel based on her astral experiences, although it’s never been published. I also learned about astral projection from a few books, one of which was Far Journeys by Robert Monroe. If you’ve never had an astral experience yourself, I doubt you’d be able to believe what he’s written.
