A person I know regularly reminds me that God uses fire (trials) to make us stronger and remove impurities as well.  Just like like a sword is forged and gold is purified.  I'd agree that the closer you are the harder it (can) get, but at the same time one becomes more able to cope with the heavier load through the process.

i'd like to think of the body as a vessel rather than a temple

admittedly this only came to mind because of a line in this King Gizzard song:

Why not both?

If anything, dichotomous thinking is lower dimensional and limiting to true source.

"getting closer to god" is diminishing the "Me" in oneself for the sake of opening a space for god. The process of diminishing "ascending" is difficult for the ego but while the baby cries for milk, the mother craves to breastfeed.

So you are not doing it all alone, there is always help for the eyes that watches.

You just said the same thing I said above, more poetically.

The union of the higher mind/infinite intelligence/subconscious with the lower mind/intellect/conscious, with minimal resistance to the whole which supersedes it.

Having a weak lower mind begets a weak signal from those higher centers.

So is all this trouble just for the purposes of correct alignment in a spiritual sense?
