Hubs for the "powers"

I am reading in Daniel's book MCTB2 and I got hung up. It seemed I couldn't read along or "practice" further with Daniel unless I activated the powers. I panicked a little, had some sarcastic thoughts, and right before the eve of destruction the Bluetooth sound on my speaker behind me turned on its chime. Panick over.

What jhanas could this occur from? Is pure equinimity a prerequisite or could this type of thing happen in the lower jhanas as well? I am slightly amused and slightly plain scared of what the paycic powers could do while in, say, a 2nd Jhana scenario. But I love reading and that is one of the primary ways I cultivate jhanas.
