St. Paul describes his vision of higher worlds : "I know that fourteen years ago a certain man in Christ - whether in the flesh, I don't know; or outside the flesh, I don't know; God knows - that this very man was raptured up to the third heaven. I know also that this man - whether in the flesh or outside the flesh, I know not; God knows - was raptured into paradise and heard secret words which it is not fitting for man to utter." (2 Corinthians 12:2-4).
Jesus conveys to Mary a teaching in a vision, meant for the few, about self-knowledge - how a person can know his demons and overcome them.
And how did the other disciples react to Mary's account?
