Physical Dangers Of Prolonged Ap? Options

I read an account in a book about a boy who astrally projected, in an outdoor scene. He stayed in for about 6 real hours, and when he had regained conciousness he had found out that his physical body had done things while he was gone! But even after that he was in a lot of pain, and heard a voice in his head warning him that AP can lead to physical breakdown.

Anyone heard an account similar to this?

thanks much.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) he, i wouldnt call myself adept...ive never once been able to do it purposefully. I dont say "tonight im gonna AP!" It just happens. How can i find out what im doing to leave my body? If my higher self "induced" it, and ive successfully left my body multiple times...how can i find out a similar technique? It seems like what i have is working for me...ive heard varying the techniques can drain one's energy, yes? Should i start out from scratch and build up? The good thing is everytime i leave im fully aware and i make my own decisions, and im a VERY VERY fast learner. Anything i read or talk about in the physical world i apply with a suprising alacrity. Another thing...i definately know more than i think. its weird. i have a concern...there is always a door that my higher self tells me not to open...because there is something melevolent behind it. How can i banish the door? when im out of my body its there, as if someone who wishes me harm is trying to tempt my natural curiosity and get me to open it. Did i construct it? what should i do? Will the image remain there or become more prevalent with time? Should i ignore it?

Acid: i would love if you shared with me your technique. you sound like you know what you're talking about, and i value your wisdom.

Ed. i like your idea...its sounds safe enough. if its my own world...i control it right? id like to make or find some sort of guardian. Im like a lost lamb (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) without some decent, informed advisor (also need some kickass protection! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bruce_h4h.gif) ). um...any advice?

ok, heres a weird experience i had while AP-ing. i got a note from someone i dont know, outside my door. "(my name), we welcome you to Thurist. we invite you to ask help, herein you rely too much on feeling XXXXXXX...." dont know what the rest said... um yeah.
you guys know of any Thurist?
