No I haven't.

Yes, I have. I think it is ignorant to say there is no such thing as a spiritual experience. I don't believe in G-d, but you can still have spiritual feelings and ideas that mean a lot to you. (And I personally believe drugs only build on what is already around you/in your mind.)
I wasn't doing any religious activity, as I'm not religious, and didn't think of myself as spiritual until recently. However...
I felt, on two separate occasions, alone, feelings of unity of the whole world and a loss of myself. I felt as if I was everything and everything was me. Everything was everything, interconnected and sharing the same energy, and I remember thinking that the only reason we are ourselves is that we are grounded in our bodies. I felt a huge amount of love for the world and its goods and bads, and I felt no sense of time. I felt as if past, present and future were all one.
This, and a sudden respect for someone I know (a really, truly genuine person with AMAZING morals) made me realise that I've gone far from the person I once wanted to become. I'm doing this for me, now. I try and I try to be good to people, but it cannot work unless I follow what I know is right. Laziness is not a good excuse. I'm not going to ignore my conscience anymore, or ignore people in need.

I went for a meal once in the Bleeding Heart Restaurant near Hatton Garden in London. The Fillet steak I had there was divine, I mean, I almost passed out. And the red wine I had with it was superb. Nearest I've come to a spiritual experience, but it's enough for me.

It depends entirely on your definition of spiritual. I am a keen astronomer, and often experience a sense of profound awe and wonder, when I am observing the moons of Jupiter or the Rings of Saturn, or looking at data downloaded from Hubble or the Mars orbiter.
When I read the works of Darwin, I share his sentiments, expressed so wonderfully in his famous passage at the end of 'Origin'; "There is grandeur in this view of life...."
Just last weekend, I was in the Forest of Dean, and the sun broke through the trees, sending incredible shafts of light and shadow across the leaf litter, and I found myself echoing Mr Armstrong, and saying to myself that it is, indeed, a wonderful world!

Yes, many, but such topics are confidential and may be shared with people with similar nature, since i don't know you and this is a public talk, i am not allowed to say anything, plus the spiritual experience doesn't come by our effort, it comes by mercy of the Lord, so we can't "recreate " it, otherwise it would be of a mundane nature, not spiritual.

Nothing you do will make anything spiritual happen....you can pray but God is in control......Jesus came to me in a dream I had a year...it is still as vivid as the morning I woke up...I didn't choose to have the dream.....he just came.....I remember everything but his face almost like He didn't want me to know that yet until I meet him in heaven.....He spoke to me as we walked on clouds.....I was looking down on earth with him as if I was already dead. I was completely in awe when I woke up because I knew I had seen the Father and creator of the universe.
I know the truth and I am saved form the sin of this world. I love Him with all my heart. God Speed

I know you're probably asking this so you can make fun of us religious folk. But, I'll bite, here goes.... I feel the presence of God when I am praying or listening to God's voice. You cannot re-create it. You just feel Him in your being and you know He's there. I can't explain it. He's awesome! It's the most awesome feeling that you are loved so much! You should give God a try sometime! (soon)

I have, because God has given me the gift to see in the spiritual world when he permits me too since I was a little girl!,...I have seen demons, angels, Jesus , and the devil. Some are scary, others are very beautiful!

Yes, it happened while I was eating pasta. I can recreate it by eating pasta again. Especialy if i use green pesto and parmesan cheese and that I drink a good red wine (Cabernet sauvignon+Merlot).
Ask a pastafarian near you to help you recreate this.

To me they just happen, many times catching me of guard others by the time I've realize it it's past.
