This is, I believe, pure assumption. There is no way for us to know of
spirit's "causal effects" and I am not at all sure there any such thing
exists.
The idea that we can experience spirit's causal effects is an unprovable
assumption. It may or may not be a true one. However, you seem to have
missed the idea that higher consciousness can, and has, been
experienced by people throughout history. Rather than trying to
experience the effects of something (which may not even exist as such)
wouldn't it be better to experience that something directly and then
draw your own conclusions from those experiences?
