I had a serious of "spiritual experiences" that utterly, utterly changed my life ... I don't believe in the supernatural

I'm curious, why were the experiences–while life-changing–not able to change your stance on the supernatural? Did they at least cause you to question that belief?

some antidepressants can be very powerful, life changing, spiritual experiences. And they are not supernatural at all...
