Completely agree with you...the leap of consciousness seemed like the beginning of something much more profound, it was just so startling, figured with some serious practice/repetition the shock of it would go away and something much more profound would occur.

Read the Yoga Sutras, it talks about this basic stuff. The 6th, 7th and 8th limbs of yoga are dharani, dhyana and samadhi

Dharana is repeatably returning the mind to an object
Dhyana is when the mind sticks to the object and doesn't move
Samadhi is when the mind enters the object and discovers its underlying essence, which is God

I think it's more a matter of practice than knowledge at this point, gotta got to the gym to get fit, reading a book won't do it. But I hear ya.
Funny thing is, the first time I experienced that leap of consciousness, I was actually driving, and had a relaxed focus on the license plate of the car ahead of me, which was about 150 meters or so away. My mind was alert, but blank. Suddenly, it seemed right in my face and I slammed on the brakes. I've done this on purpose only a couple of times since but to be honest I haven't put more than a few minutes into actually trying to do it. So...if I put in some serious practice I may actually gain some control. It always seems to me the harder I try, the harder it gets, lol.

Wouldn't be surprised if you end up gaining the ability to see other realms if you really develop your meditation to a high level. Seems like you have a gift of vision

I did experience some unusual things after my OBE. I have a very objective mindset, so I didn't just run with the idea that they were 'psychic powers', but I experienced things like: hypnotizing people around me by speaking to a friend about spiritual things when I knew others were eavesdropping
Feeling the aura, emotional state, and thoughts of others as physical sensations when walking past them
Deliberately causing a physical pull on other people by imagining 'chi' energy while dancing

Now, I didn't necessarily think these things were magic, I figured it may all just be how the mind can process things and present it as a psychic phenomena. As for the physical pull, I figured it must just be power of suggestion and a form of hypnosis due to physical pantomimes, but the funny thing was, if I did it right I felt a magnetic pull, and if I felt it, so did the other person, every time. 
 I guess what I am saying is I'm the sort of person that figures there's a rational explanation even when I personally experience odd things.
I guess I've experienced quite a bit despite being a bit of a sceptic, lol.

I know what you are talking about anon.

I believe once you develop meditation to a high level you start to affect material reality around you.

On two separate events I have said something that was absolute truth and the lights in the room turned off. I was visiting a hospital once and trying to convince three psychiatrists that anti-psychotic medication and particularly Olanzapine are harmful to people who they label with 'Bipolar'. The three psychiatrists asked me honestly 'Fine anon what do you think we should do to treat the psych patients', I said right to their face, 'You are unable to heal these patients as in order to heal them you need to have experienced mania or an acceleration of thoughts.' As soon as I said the the lights in the room immediately turned off and the psychs totally freaked out, no other lights in the hospital went off either and the light bulb came back on again after a few seconds.

On another occasion I was at my mothers home and said right to my mother's face 'You are a much better mother than your mother will ever be' and the entire living room's lights turned off and came back on after a few seconds.

I also feel others around me, I know what emotions people are feeling. I also feel the feelings of the general population around me which causes me to suffer greatly. When there were riots and killing in Bangkok I was in a hotel room on the floor feeling great pain in my citta.
