What is odd (to me) and somewhat interesting about what is described above is the implication that "you are the ultimate authority." It's the individual's beliefs that matter, above all. (Of course, there may certainly be precipitating external factors, as noted, in the case of abuse.)
But I would argue that, whether its traditional monotheism or traditional polytheism, the ultimate authority is...God or the gods. The individual mortal is always downstream from more powerful authorities. So these perspectives you describe seem to me to be "Neo" indeed.
Interesting, too, given the argument, if I understand correct, that the Piscean age corresponds to a rise in individualism.
