“…Part of Fatima's renowned third secret may refer to such a turbulent time. Parasciences, along with other potential reasons, may be seen as contributing to a global crisis in religious faith during such a key chaotic moment, due to certain poisonous trends [32][33][34]. While Christian parapsychologists recognize that parapsychology has the advantage of explaining theological issues from a modern scientific perspective, and that parasciences have much to offer in terms of resolving current faith ambiguities, they also worry that as parasciences advance, the Bible's message will be lost [35].…”

“…One way of proving that humans have a non-physical part in association with the brain which can also exist independent of brain is proving post-mortem existence. According to survival researchers, there is now as much evidence to justify belief in life after death as there is for the historical existence of dinosaurs, but if we add the scientifically examined Marian apparitions of 20th century to this corpus of evidence, we have then compelling evidence to believe in the reality of discarnate existence [37].…”

Investigators interested in a French visionary event have the well-documented apparitional manifestation at La Salette (France, 1846). It incorporated trans-century predictions and had a link with theistic parapsychology. Neurology is centered around brain and psychical studies are centered on mind and consciousness, middle/lower planes of the discarnate realm, but Marian apparitions are focused on the highest dimensions and are highly significant for the students of higher consciousness and seekers of the finalities of existence. An apparition might prove its manifestation at the physical site by way of offering predictions that are to be fulfilled at a later date. The Fatima predictions (Portugal, 1917) are more explicable in the historical context of La Salette-Fr. Rene Laurentin, the renowned French theologian, posited that they are complementary. Mystical studies are to be treated as non-denominational, and Marian apparitional studies can also link science with mysticism-old mysticism is the same as the new mysticism. Human beings are dazzled by the magic of technology but should be cognizant of the wisdom of the bygone centuries. If we believe in Marian apparitions, beyond the current strife and struggles of life, there is hope for a peaceful world. Moreover, Marian mysticism challenges the reductionist views of consciousness prevailing in cognitive sciences and confirm the existence of a higher consciousness that would survive physical extinction. They also reaffirm the existence of transcendental realities. Mysticism is the foundation of reality and consciousness studies without its inclusion is bound to be imperfect."The greatest mistake in the treatment of diseases is that there are physicians for the body and physicians for the soul, although the two cannot be separated." (Plato)

“…Apart from the Bible, some Marian apparitions have "taken" children to visit Heaven as in the Marian apparitions at Medjugorje (Pandarakalam, 2013;Armitage, 2017). Testimonies from these children tell us that in Heaven the souls may be singing hymns, glorifying God.…”

“…So, to wash away our sin after death (as God is just) and to shape our soul so that it is suitable to live in Heaven, (principle of) Purgatory is necessary: Principle of Purgatory: As there are (mortal) sinners after accepting God, there is a place called Purgatory to remedy their sins and shape their souls appropriately for living in Heaven. (Supported by the Bible and Marian Apparitions) (Follows from the Principle of God being just and the Principle of Human Sinful Tendency) Again, some Marian apparitions have "taken" some children to visit Purgatory (as in Marian apparitions at Medjugorje [Pandarakalam, 2013]). The testimonies from these children serve as independent evidence there is such a place.…”
