They say that when Mary establishes contact with someone it is as though She wraps them in Her cloak. This is exactly how I feel about Her, although one day the religious concept I had of Her fell to pieces forever.
It happened back in 2003, on the day of the Immaculate Conception, when during an OBE back in time, I suddenly found myself in Lourdes near the grotto at Massabielle where Bernadette saw Mary. (I instantly knew where I was because the astral body knows everything intimately). The light there was so intense that I could barely see. As my eyes slowly adjusted to it, I gasped when I realised that next to me there was young Bernadette who, deep in ecstasy, was conversing intensely with our Lady!
Then I heard a loud, sinister sound coming from the sky above. I looked up and saw, for the first time in my life, the enormous boat-shaped mother spaceship in which the divinity we identify as the Blessed Virgin Mary travels when She visits our planet. It was the most magnificent and sophisticated spaceship I have ever seen, the Rolls Royce, so to speak, of the Royal Celeste Kingdom, composed entirely of clear-quarz cylinders with internal illumination. It moved in space by rotating upon itself, so imagine the astounding sound such an enormous object – as big as a ten-storey building – made, as it shifted huge amounts of air with each whirl! I will never forget that sound. It frightened me so much that it sped me straight back into in my physical body.
