Judaism stakes all on one "supernatural experience."

And then, there is the "closed system" feature that the authoritative evidence for the same is embodied in the product of the same.

Thus in my own researches, it's time for me to look beyond the confines of any one religion, for a G-d that transcends and can account for all.

This is not Jewish teaching.

The difference is that the entire Jewish nation had a supernatural experience at Mt. Sinai and they appointed Moses to be their agent to receive the rest of the Torah. Israel was warned against later false prophets and other supernatural phenomenon that would cause them to stray from the path they were already given. Since we do not demand that other people follow our religion, it suffices to say that those who follow the Torah may not be swayed from their path by supernatural phenomenon.
