Moreover .. these are your statements..
"And there are many more experiences I can related which true devotees have experienced and which are recorded in scriptures.

Eventually.. i only wanna say that i m waiting for the texts and some more referenes..

pls. see this under https://gaudiyahistory.iskcondesiretree.com/biographies/
there are so many saints who have got so many experiences directly from Lord .. you can read about all of these gaudiya aarcharyas who are really blessed with many many live experiences, visions and dreams.
Srimad Bhagwatam also many evidences like our Kamsa got akashwani ( spiritual experience) about the 8th child of Devaki who is going to his Death personification. Now don't ask references try a bit go open the book find the page it is good for you to find it yourself.
Bhagwad gita has spiritual experience do you remember Sanjaya has spiritual experience, Vyas maharaj gives him that boon to able to see the war from a far distance and tell all that was happening to Dhritrashtra even what Sri Krishna tells to Arjuna was also audiable to him. This is a spiritual experience of Sanjaya.
Bhagwad gita has only Teaching of Lord given during war to Arjuna. There is Arjuna's spiritual experience, he got to see Lord's virat swaroopa darshan. Chapter 10 BG
