This is also why self-realization is also known as god-realization by some people.

Au contraire, most if not all of the spiritual traditions talk about the realness of self and what it is
(the potentiality herein for every human life)
Advaita-Vedanta, Mystic Christianity, Buddhism, all talk to the truth of the Whole Self for those whom practice.
Your conception is inaccurate, to say the least.
Where it does differ from the perverted paths, such as Neo-Advaita, and the Do-Nothing schools of thought, is believing one is at Everest when one hasn't even touched base camp. The blog you quoted earlier was quite accurate and at least the guy was honest enough to wake up and realize it wasn't working. Not everyone is so lucky, and the most unfortunate part of that is that they bring other gullible intellectual wannabees into their circle of belief.
