I don't distinguish them from archangels :-) As Rama described the nirvana path, which is different than the standard path:

"To attain nirvana, you would go on a completely different cycle, and that usually happens after a vast number of lifetimes lived. ...The lifetimes that you start to choose to live [at that point] are with great suffering.These life cycles will continue again and again and if you have lived your life according to our plan, will allow you to go to higher and higher levels. One obtains full enlightenment when there is nothing more for you to suffer — when there is nothing more for you to learn!

Then you would be in the realms with the great archetypes, messengers and guides and archangels. You then would have an awesome burden and responsibility to heal those souls that remain on earth.”

By the way, to which Mary do you refer? I assume Magdelene, and not Yeshua's mother
