Would you start believing in some greater force if someone demostrates to you that those experiences exist by guiding you through the experience?
This is very wishy-washy language. If there were enough evidence of a ‘greater force’ to make it worth believing, I would believe it. Naturally, that would have to be a lot of evidence.
How much different kind of spiritual experiences would you need to experience to drop your belief in materialism?
For future reference, you’d use “many” instead of “much” in your first sentence. Anyway, by materialism do you mean physicalism? As above, I would need an enormous amount of evidence to change my views in this case.
