Northern New Mexico Visited by Spanish Saints Able to Bi-Locate

 

New Mexico educator, Larry Torres, has been studying mystics in the Southwest for years and been following in the footsteps of saints and holy hermits.

 

For decades before the conquistadores arrived Torres has learned several indigenous tribes were visited by a mysterious Lady in Blue who was also known as Maria Agreda de Jesus. She was born in Spain in 1602 and became a Conceptionist nun. Maria Agreda de Jesus could be in two places at the same time without ever leaving her cell at the convent.

 

According to her biography she made over 500 “mystical journeys” to New Mexico.  She died in 1665, but three and half centures later her body is still incorrupt. She is credited for penning the first recipe for red chile (which called for such exotic meats as buffalo, antelope and wild javelinea), and later Sainted by the Catholic Church.  Keep in mind, buffalo was not even available in Spain. 

 

Bilocation, sometimes called multilocation, is a term used to describe the ability/instances in which an individual or object is said to be, or appear to be, located in two distinct places at the same instant in time.

 

Bilocation is said to be a physical, rather than spiritual, phenomenon, and a person experiencing it is supposedly able to interact with their surroundings as normal, including being able to experience sensations and to manipulate physical objects exactly as if they had arrived through natural means. This makes it distinct from "Astral projection".

 

In most instances, bilocation is said to be involuntary and not to have been directed by the individual concerned in terms of time or space
