Amanah, I don't disagree with your definitions of self realization, but I think there are some parallels between gnostic's attaining spiritual levels and Paul's growing to the fulness of the stature of christ. There are other weird gnostic doctrines like the spiritualization of Mary Magdalene and the divine feminine, but I am only searching for NT parallels.
I was just wondering if receiving the Holy Ghost, we can attain spirituality. It would not be our own spirit, but our spirit through the HG. What have you studied about self realization? You seem to know a good definition.
