Carl Jung made the case that New Age thinking is poisonous in my favourite work of his The Psychology of Kundalini Yoga. His argument was targeted at Theosophist thinking which was the group who imported the Eastern religious writings into the West in the 19th century and which evolved into the New Age in the 1960s.
Jung tells us that these symbols from these exotic traditions (in the context of the book he's dealing specifically with the chakras symbolical system) have an archetypal power which if we do not work to integrate to our Western mindset has the potential to poison our consciousness.
