And then there are ones own experiences which may be apart from the association with any teacher or system of belief which correlate with the experiences that have been noted in different traditions, and by poets and philosophers as indicative of a diffferent, call it a more refined, style of functioning. And of course, that experience does not care if there is any verification of it, or if it gets some fancy name. And I don't really follow your initial premise that if this experience was "real" or a possibility then it would be confirmed by "reality". Not getting that. Not sure where the rule book for reality is written, except by maybe the laws of physics.
