You believe in "original messages" because islam. The new age movement is a western movement full of western thoughts designed to satisfy a western aim. Separating suckers from their money. Neo paganism is full of western pagan thought - not alot of african gods in there. American buddhism is microtargeted at americans.
Your idea of traditional beliefs "working" is doing alot of work covering for alot of sins. One wonders, if they "worked"..why you and every other imam or guru or shaman has been continually amending and revising them, continually saying that they're all meaningfully wrong. Mantra science is not a thing. It's the belief in magic words, in cantrips and spells. In wizards, harry. You think we need to put some limits on them and they think we need to put you under the limit bus.
I do, fwiw, agree with you that all this stuff is an attempt to figure out how to live our lives. I just think that superstition and fiction are a poor basis for such practical aims...and dogmatic and fanatical new ageism is just as dogmatic, just as fanatic, and just as superstituous as any other traditional fiction. It's also very...very...western. It's the great satans most american belief set. A mashup of things from everywhere, just like it's people.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
