I agree with what you're saying about the scientific method being a useful tool for discovering repeatable cause and effect. I'm simply trying (and failing) to offer a perspective that possibly nothing occurs outside of personal sense experience. The experience of blue does not exist within the wavelengths of light, it exists as consciousness. A rock does not experience blue when those wavelengths hit it. If it is true that we only exist as our senses and consciousness then a transcendent spiritual experience is as real as anything else. If I haven't convinced you, then I am merely poor at describing what I'm getting at and for that I apologize.
