>expected a new 'normal' for gaining spiritual awareness
Always has been the case. Even buddhists speak of Mara and Jupiter bothering anyone going seriously at it.

>should I expect the incursions to increase in severity 
Depends if you are steadfast. It can be overpowering at times. Like Jung, you might experience temporary symptoms of schizophrenia, then it will dissipate into hypersensitivity due to the kundalini rising. Some foods will make you sick now, pay attention to your intakes.

>determines the type of person that succumbs 
Anyone that does not believe in her or himself. You got this.

the greatest ability we posses is magic over our kingdom, over our 'self'. schizophrenia and co-occuring aliments were also my experiences. i'd like to say i was heavily affected for six months. years later i am still affected but not full schizophrenia. remain steadfast like another has said. you control 'yourself'
