Do we use only five subtle sheaths for OBE because that's all we are evolved enough to do? With maybe two more in waiting, or do lower chakras one and two not take us anywhere we wish to go?

Update: I didn't really get to meditate much on this question, though i did remember during a brief meditation to ask about this. I was kind of tired that day, and ended up falling alseep though.
I do have some thoughts on it though, but i'm not sure how "inspired" they are if at all.
Basically it seems simple to me. We have 5 main "bodies" which actually seem like bodies in a sense. They have some kind of locality, a reference point for a mind and consciousness which is heavily immersed in space/time concepts.
There aren't "bodies" connected to Chakra's 6 and 7 because these are consciousness states of moving completely beyond limited, finite, space/time concepts. These are the beginnings of really starting to feel and experience, existing everywhere and in everything, though not quite completely yet eg. not full Source attunement or "enlightenment" (my reference point of same is from the example of the man Yeshua).
A "body" implies some kind of limitation or locality, or in physics terms it implies being a particle as opposed to or compared to a wave of potentiality. In most of the main energy dimensions connected to the Earth, we experience a more particle like state of being, we see, experience, and convince ourselves that we are a "set" thing.
Chakras 6 and 7 start to phase more into the wave like state of being. These states of being are by their very nature, rather hard to describe in our language, except in terms of broad feeling type connotations.
So, in a sense, after the 5th dimension we start phasing in and operating from our 5th "body" more and more, the spiritual body, but which is fast becoming bodiless or wave like in nature and more so essences with the sense of great expansion and inclusiveness. So the spiritual body covers some "levels" of 5th dimensional awareness (the faster vibratory rates of sub dimensions within same), but more so shading into 6th, 7th, and perhaps completely beyond dimensional state of being. And so spiritual "body" is really kind of a misnomer, but in our language and reference point, its almost necessary to use from a comparitive and relative standpoint.
Dunno, does this make sense? In any case, its good to look for answers within as well. Happy going within.
