If a practitioner is incapable of facing fear in the phase, it is best to use the translocation technique to travel elsewhere, although this solution only produces temporary relief. PHASE OBJECT AGGRESSION AND ATTACKS It's worth taking a moment to go into detail on phase objects behaving aggressively towards practitioners, as many are concerned about this issue. However, one fact that says a lot should be considered immediately: these types of issues usually concern or are encountered by the esotericallyminded, or those who have read much eclectic literature on the subject of phase states. Such issues are rare among those with a materialist outlook. Here, phase objects are provoked to react adversely by incorrect behavior on the part of practitioners. It's enough to note that many authors writing on the phase devote up to half of their books to the subject of protection from such attacks.
