The usage of "as close as"
I can't really get what the author is trying to tell from this sentence.
The desert was as close as I came to spirituality. I felt a great peace out there amid all that silence.
Could somebody paraphrase it into easier expression?

The writer apparently does not often have spiritual experiences, but he felt something very like a spiritual experience when he was in the desert. So his desert experience was more like a spiritual experience than any other experience he had had. His desert experience was closer to a spritiual experience than any other experience he had had.
