Theosophy states that the speed of movement depends on the energy body you are in. Near the physical plane, movement is comparatively slow. Even in the astral body movement is still noticeable. In the mental body finally you start moving at the speed of thought. (It is, after all, "the mental body.")

If you try to teleport, one disadvantage, as you have identified, is that you cannot really determine where you're gonna end up. Including in which body! The energy body you end up in might also be determined by the location where you want to go, as is evidenced by one of karen659's latest adventures. So, a teleport might not just be a change of location, but also of body.

If you intend to go to the akashic records, you might end up in the mental body, as Kurt told in the other thread. If you want to go to a night school class, like Monroe describes, you might end up in the astral. Also, this depends on what is your most well-developed vehicle of consciousness and where it can go and so on.

All of this together can add up for some confusing experiences when travelling in this manner, as the vehicle corresponding to the task might not yet be developed enough to see, identify the function of a place, communicate with the beings there, or fully comprehend what is going on. On the other hand, any such exposure can improve the familiarity with that respective body and help developing it.

Asking a trustworthy guide or helper to assist would be a good variant. They can help you get where you wanted, and help stabilise your consciousness in the required state.
