We as a species are at Day One of understanding a neuroscience of consciousness. Natural philosophers since the time of Ibn Rushd have vociferously argued that reason constitutes a legitimate avenue for unveiling religious truth.

In the short term, I can recommend starting in on the Wisdom Literature and other mystical sources. Begin your own experiments with truth in quotidian life. And pay heed to the minds who have attempted to describe their own ineffable experiences of yore. Best of luck!
