"Experiences" from 2k+ years ago mean squat, considering the sheer number of psychological disorders currently known to affect people.
Perhaps an epileptic fit can in some cases awaken/heighten your consciousness to a far greater level allowing for an intense mystical encounter of the living God and that's what St Paul experienced on the road to Damascus? Or perhaps it can just drive you a bit nuts/crackers the thing is we don't actually know, you can have a belief either way though.
We don't know, so you pick the explanation that's least likely... sounds reasonable! -.-'
