There's a plethora of reasons one could have a "Divine experience."
Dehydration, iron depletion, mental illness, high blood pressure, biochemical imbalance, disease such as distemper or anything that targets and/or perverts the neurological center may cause a very convincing hallucination, which a weakend/perverted mental state may immediately adopt as fact.
Or, if one believes something firmly enough, one may simply imagine an event and label it as a Divine experience.
I myself have contracted distemper from a stray before. I already have a mental illness (depression) and thus the virus was able to target my mucous membranes in a way that it could not in a healthier individual. The virus made me see and hear things that were not there, I could sometimes feel thing touch me that did not, and I still have seizures (though mild ones) to this day.

You can't ignore the people who disagree and pretend it makes you right.
