Multiple prominent new agers dramatically became Christians like St. Paul upon having an encounter with Jesus. Steve Bancarz and Doreen Virtue are examples of the abovementioned big shots who upon their change of minds went to the extent of publishing books to warn the lost sheep. Their divine visitation from the Savior was dependent on grace and their degree of alignment with Him.

Manly P. Hall prolifically highlights this supernatural experience in this book titled "What the Ancient Wisdom Expected From its Disciples." The adept has to be a high grade initiate to experience this but the new age ideologies bestow an elitist mindset upon the psyche of esotericists because they get the notion that what they know is just for the chosen few hence having being gassed up by pride, there's no room for God in them. Below is a paraphrased excerpt from that book which demystifies what is a divine visitation from the Savior:
The true Master never appears in public teaching large classes or groups concerning sacred exercises, but comes privately to their disciples and instruct each one individually. The ability to inform the disciple concerning the steps to be taken before his actual initiation is the result of the high degree of development reached by the Adept. None who is not an Adept can prescribe for the spiritual needs of students without assuming heavy Karmic responsibilities.
The disciple will probably be visited at night by his Teacher, who will come in a superphysical body. The student will feel certain that he is fully awake, and in the spiritual sense of the word he is, but he will recognize the Master only through superphysical vision. If he has not developed his spiritual nature by right living, right thinking, and right feeling during his probation as a student, he will be unable to recognize the Master when he comes.
