is gnosis or the gnostic's a new age religion or involved in new age teachings?

i have read a bit from the gnostic samael aun weor over the years and he was inspired by the gnostic's and believed in spreading the beliefs of gnosis, but was he part of the new age movement as well, and trying to spread new age beliefs?, as there seems to be conflict between new ager's and gnostic's sometimes, where gnostic's say new agers are not fully understanding the occult discipline or something properly, and do not take things as seriously as the gnostic's do.

here in this quote samael aun weor says that fakirs are deviated and not gnostic enough, that the fakirs gain powers but not gnostic powers.

"Oriental fakirs fight in a frightful way within themselves in order to develop the force of willpower. The entire fakir's path consists of multiple, incredible, and difficult physical practices.

Any fakir is very capable of adopting any difficult physical position while keeping his body steady for hours, months, and even years; or he can sit under a tree on top of an anthill or under the scorching rays of the tropical sun.

Any fakir is very capable of sitting on a bare stone under the sun with his arms opened in the form of a cross, or amongst thorns and caltrops for entire months or years.

Indeed, fakirs develop the force of willpower in a severe way by means of all of these physical tortures. Nevertheless, they do not achieve the creation of the Body of Conscious Will (Causal Body) because this is a one hundred percent sexual problem.

Many places exist where people are submitted to tremendous tortures in order to acquire conscious will, but really they only store some energy.

The fakirs acquire many powers but nothing else. Some of them raise an arm and they do not lower it ever again. The arm becomes withered. They pursue willpower with such actions, but their willpower does not pass beyond such action. They do not achieve the building of the body of Conscious Will. All of this miraculous stuff deviates people; therefore, the fakirs are deviated."
