From my personal experience and level of realization and or achievement so far, detailing at the subtle level remains the aim. It is my hope and aspiration that from there indeed I shall at some future time arrive at the level you are underlining.

If favored sufficiently by providence, I may access such levels while using a physical body, otherwise, the objective at this point is to at least prepare for continuation on the path along similar goals that you have stated, but from the subtle realm. 

Currently the entrapments of the bodily implications and subsequent responsibilities compromise my desires, enough to even thwart the “reasonable of effort and consistency in practice”. So long as I can with some confidence or reliance get a footing in the subtle realm even in general, I have come to believe and accept that my path is protected, as well as consider time relative and malleable on an endeavor that may span over lifetimes.

So yes, professing is futile! Therefore I hope to eventually advance now or later, even as I struggle with bodily implications. And, subsequently continue to parse the mind, subtle body and physical body, because definitely, and as rightly pointed out, the subtle body is yet another impediment to overcome for a guaranteed success on the path to liberation.

Furthermore, the subtle is actually the very source of the complexities and perplexities of the physical body’s platform. Though it must be contended with, it is accurate, and I concur with the consideration of the subtle platform being the real beginning only, and that the mind as it were must be experienced in isolation from both bodies. Thank you for broadening the discussion around the post.
