Personally, I don't feel there is a spiritual link. I went through a spiritual phase once, I was pagan for a few years, but am now an atheist as well as a skeptic.

I do believe all the magical, spiritual experiences I experienced was just my untreated bipolar rearing it's huge head into my world. It was psychosis, nothing more.

I also accept that some people benefit from some belief in something that is unknown like God. I just can't anymore. The current evidence shows me no reason for me to so until it does, if ever, I will remain unconvinced.
