I wiped my ass today, Rik.
Later I observed an Arabic wedding celebration across the street from my parent's house.
And like your supposed "results" from doing the "thing" that was recommended for your "spiritual" i.e. emotional gratification, the fact of the subsequent event of the wedding does not establish any logical connection to the earlier act of wiping my ass.
Whatever context you choose to identity the experience that you call "spirituality" is irrelevant to the physiological changes that occur in your brain; for some of us, it's even more gratifying to learn that we can appreciate such experiences without elevating ignorance and demeaning the possibility of attaining a more accurate and refined understanding of them.
