I think this may be the reason why I struggle with Eastern mysticism and the New Age.

God is only a half way house and not the end. Once one knows that, one may be happy to have reached this halfway house and rest for a while. Then one must get up and continue along the way.
To come to a stop halfway, thinking that this is the end, is the failure of common Christianity, and probably Islam too.
