It seems to me, reading your post, that you are facing some mental blocks of your own creation. You say you are a 'spiritual dipshit' with 'disillusions of grandeur'. You also convey much fear, over and over, about various aspects of your spiritual practice, and your relations with others.
I would suggest, that while you have obviously had genuine spiritual experiences, what you lack is a context of a guiding philosophy to make sense of it all.
You are not a dipshit; you are made in the Image and Likeness of the Divine - and with that comes power and responsibility. Power to control your thoughts and experiences, and responcibility to do so wisely.
As to the fear - this is an illusion, created by your own ego. Fear can manifest results in your experience, but these are only the shadows of your bloated nothingness; the reflections of your fear itself. A healthy respect, and patience is essential, but nothing will block you in this or any other venture more so than fear.
I believe it is time that you set aside the development of spiritual phenomena until you have formed, to your own satisfaction, a working philosophy of the Spiritual, Divine nature of things and your relationship with IT. From this standpoint, you will have more success. I have found great wisdom in these writings:
Words to the Wise: Manly Hall
Lectures on Ancient Philosophy: Manly Hall
The Kyballion: Three Initiates
Initiation into Hermetics by Franz Bardon
Modern Magick: Donald Kraig
The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic by Eliphas Levi
Words to the wise by Manly Hall
That should keep you busy for a while.
I would recommend reading this book: https://www.amazon.com/Words-Wise-Practical-Esoteric-Sciences/dp/0893148148
Words To The Wise
Manly P. Hall
