Teleportation stands somewhat apart from the astral transfers. This term was coined by Charles Fort, in order to describe the phenomenon of transferring objects from one place to another without the apparent use or participation of physical force. Over the centuries, a large amount of material has been collected on this issue, telling about how people, other living beings and objects are sometimes transported over long distances, as they say, in the blink of an eye.
We want to tell you about an incident described in Spanish sources, moreover, legal ones, which were found by the astronomer and writer Maurice K. Jessup, one of the first who began to study unidentified flying objects. We are talking about the trial of the Inquisition over a soldier who unexpectedly appeared on October 25, 1593 in the city of Mexico City, although his regiment was stationed 9 thousand miles (14 thousand kilometers) from Mexico - in the Philippines. He could only report that a few moments before his arrival in Mexico City, he was on guard duty at the palace of the governor in Manila, who had just been treacherously killed. How he himself appeared in Mexico City, the soldier had no idea. A few months later, people who arrived by ship from the Philippines confirmed the news of the murder of the governor and other details of the soldier's story.
In his 1962 book The Silent Road, the black magician, the late Major Wellesley Tudor Pole, recounted a teleportation incident that occurred to him: “In December 1952, I got off the train at a commuter station about a mile and a half away. from my house in Sussex. The train from London arrived late, the bus had already left, and there was no taxi. The rain poured incessantly. It was 5.59 pm. At 6 o'clock they were supposed to call me from abroad, and it was a very important call for me. The situation seemed hopeless. And what was really bad was that the telephone at the station did not work, because there was some kind of damage on the line.
Desperate, I sat down on a bench in the waiting room and began comparing the time on my clock and the station clock. Considering that the clock always runs a couple of minutes ahead at the station, I decided that the exact time was 17 hours 57 minutes, that is, in other words, there were still three minutes left until 18.00. What then happened, I cannot explain. When I came to, I was standing in the lobby of my house, which was a good 20 minutes' walk away. At this time, the clock began striking six. The phone rang a minute. After I finished my conversation, I realized that something very strange had happened, and then, to my great surprise, I saw that my shoes were dry, there was no dirt on them and my clothes were also completely dry."
It should be assumed that Major Pole was somehow mysteriously transported to his home, for he really wanted to be at home and he needed to be at home, and he made no conscious effort to do this. If it could happen like this spontaneously, then why can't teleportation happen by will? Here witches, spiritualists, or, for example, the following case, which caused ridicule at one time, come to mind. The medium Mrs. Guppy, who weighed about 100 kilograms, was instantly transferred on June 3, 1871 from her home in Highbury, London, to a house on Conduit Street three miles from the first. Moreover, she landed in a negligee right on the table at the time of the seance.
We now turn from this rather poignant episode to consider the most remarkable feat in the field of teleportation that a Christian mystic has ever performed.
The Monk Mary never left her monastery of Jesus in Agreda (Spain). And yet, between 1620, when she was only 18, and 1631, according to official figures, she made more than 500 voyages to America, where she converted the Yuma Indians in New Mexico to Christianity. This fact was not immediately recognized. The Catholic authorities, who have more than once had to deal with the false claims of people prone to religious hysteria, tried in every possible way to force Sister Maria to abandon the claims that she actually made her transatlantic flights. However, the testimony of missionaries who visited the Indians of Mexico, forced them to admit that flights did take place.
In 1622, Father Alonso de Benavides from the Isolito mission in New Mexico, in a letter to Pope Urban VIII and Philip IV of Spain, asked him to explain who had converted the Yuma Indians to the Christian faith before him. The Indians themselves said that they owe their acquaintance with Christianity to the "woman in blue" - a European nun who left them crosses, beads and chalice, which they used when they celebrated mass. It was later established that this chalice belonged to a monastery in Agred.

Father Benavides found out about Sister Mary and that it was she who had converted the Yuma Indians to Christianity only in 1630, upon his return to Spain. He received permission to visit the monastery and question Mary, which he did with all diligence, having received from her detailed accounts of visits to the Yuma Indians and detailed descriptions of their customs and dress. Sister Mary kept a diary, but she burned it on the advice of her confessor. In this diary, she described her travels, including her vision of planet Earth as a ball revolving on its axis, which was considered heresy at the time.
In the Life of the Venerable Mary of Agreda, James A. Carrico wrote: “The fact that Sister Mary did visit America many times is confirmed by the documents of the Spanish conquistadors, French researchers and absolutely identical stories of various Indian tribes living at a distance of many miles. In any fundamental book on the history of the southwestern United States, you can find mention of this mystical phenomenon, unprecedented in the history of the world."
In one of Maria's notes there is a detail that will delight any student of the unusual. Just as in folklore, where travelers to the kingdom of fairies are warned not to accept gifts from them, not to eat food and not to desire their women, Mary received a command from God that without his will, “neither in her thoughts, nor in a word, she did not show her desire in deed and did not touch anything."
Over the past decades, there have been many reports of involuntary teleportation, mostly related to UFOs. Many of these are recounted in John Keel's book Our Visited Planet (1971). For example, Geraldo Vidal in May 1968 was driving with his wife in the Bahía Blanca area of Argentina. Suddenly they found themselves in Mexico, thousands of miles away. They had no idea where they were or how they got here. The only sign that something had happened to them was the scorched body of their car.
Another case, described by Clark and Coleman in the book "Unidentified", occurred with 24-year-old Jose Antonio da Silva, who on May 9, 1969 was near the city of Vitoria in Brazil in a state of shock, in torn clothes, at a distance of 500 miles (800 kilometers) from Bebedor, where he was four days ago. His story that he was captured by beings four feet (120 centimeters) tall, transported to another planet, and then returned to Earth sounded fantastic, but this case, like many other similar incidents, was thoroughly investigated. and after that there was no doubt that da Silva believed in what he was talking about.
An important feature of all cases of teleportation associated with UFOs is the return of the victim in a state of shock, trance and semi-amnesia, which completely coincides with the stories in which it was about the abduction of people by fairies in earlier times.
As you can see, some cases of teleportation occurred spontaneously, without obvious outside interference, while others, on the contrary, were clearly controlled, albeit unconsciously, by the will of certain people with a high nervous organization. The latter should include Sister Mary and Major Tudor Pole - people of two completely different types.
In the Middle Ages, no one doubted the existence of occult forces, and the further we look into the depths of the centuries, in the time of witches and sorcerers, up to the all-powerful magicians of ancient civilization, the more we receive confirmation of alleged cases of controlled teleportation and magical flights. And although this phenomenon is not recognized by science, it nevertheless happens every now and then, but instead of flying mystics and the transport of multi-ton stone columns through the air, we hear about flying cars or about an incomprehensible couple who find themselves in Mexico at the time when she was supposed to be in Argentina.
