I would caution that this is Gnosticism


I understand what you are saying, yet God is a living God will do things at his great pleasure in his personal relationship with us.

A few thoughts.

1) If these “inner visions of deep understanding and soulful connections” are independent of Gods word RUN.

2) Many of these experiences are meant to be personal with God and when shared with others take on a life of it’s own and are perverted. “Mary pondered these things in her heart” is an example. Does not mean they should not be shared, but more often than not, the event is the focus, not the message.

Luk 2:19 but Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often.

The apparitions claiming to be Mary fall under this category.
