Reality is what can be perceived by the 5 senses. When senses get messed up, so does reality. You arn't walking down a path to religious enlightenment, your brain is just incapable of applying labels to what it has sensed. When the brain is incapable of applying labels to something, then it fills in the gaps the best it can- wierd things are felt.
Our brains deal with labels. These labels are fueled by our senses. If our senses are inhibited in some fashion, our brain cannot figure out what to do and thus mislabels and otherwise "messes up" the entire thought process. While this is a different way of perceiving the world, it certianly isn't a spiritual one. Since the beginning of time humans have categorized things they couldn't label or understand as the "supernatural". It's no different here.
