New Age is just a label in a society that desires to label everything. It is one of the most over used ambiguous references in the world today. Everything not main stream religion is grouped into it. For that reason I do not use the term either. On the other hand, I think that people are getting a little to hard lined with the avoid the ego paradigm. You don't make decisions that erase the ego, you raise your vibration and the ego gradually morphs and fades to subtlety. It will still be there, but only as a background template instead of the structure of your world view.
If someone is trying to become shaman when they are not born into the frequency of a shaman (astrological, not bloodlines) they will become either frustrated or very clever at tricking people. You don't choose the shamanic path, it chooses you. Yes you choose it before incarnation, but unfortunately you are oblivious to it until someone tells you or the other side walks up to you and bitch slaps you. Then about 10 years later when your head starts to slow down from the spinning induced by the spiritual bitch slap you begin to form a coherent shamanic paradigm. Or at least that is the way I understand it.
