occurrence - and such understanding which would otherwise remedy the issue. The first thing to know in this regard is: no thing and no person in the phase presents any real threat. The practitioner himself is able to control everything that occurs. That's why there's no point in fearing anybody or anything in the phase, no matter how threatening they may seem or what someone may have said or written about it. The second thing to know is: the only thing that can and does attack is the practitioner's own fear, be it conscious or unconscious fear. The properties of the phase space are such that a novice's inability to control the process will lead to his subconscious expectations causing much to happen to him. That's precisely why a still "green" phaser who has read much about "astral attacks" will encounter materialized and hyperrealistic fears that not only terrorize, but also cause true pain: beatings, abuse, torture, suffocation, and the like. Until the reason for them is understood, the problem will remain unsolved. Moreover, all kinds of absurd theories about evil beings thus find confirmation, which is why old wives' tales continue to have wide currency, even in our modern era. An experienced practitioner controls his entire experience from beginning to end, and his subconscious expectations don't interfere with the behavioral mechanisms of the phase space. Thus, attacks are a rarity. And even if they occur, this problem is easily resolved by counteractive assertiveness or a simple attempt to face the unpleasantness head on. CREATION OF VISION Vision is often available at the very beginning of a phase, especially when the practitioner uses image observation and visualization techniques to enter. Sometimes vision appears within the first few seconds. Other times, it manifests during the deepening process. However, there are cases where vision is not available and must be created quickly, at any cost. Vision may arrive as soon as it is thought about, but if this does not occur, a special technique is necessary.
