Is Spiritual Purification the same as Shadow Work/Emotional Mastery?

Only at the Egoic stages of the Path.  There are two stages of the Path: (1) in Ego and (2) out of Ego.  'Out of Ego' doesn't mean there is no more Ego, it just means you ain't identifying with it anymore because you can see that it's an illusion.

@Joseph Maynor you can still be enlightened af and still have an unhealthy ego structure meanwhile you don’t identify with it.

Different things. One is base on beliefs, the other on pain.

There are Egoic and Non-Egoic stages of the Path.  Turquoise can be Enlightened as f*ck, yet still be clinging to Ego.  The key issue for you is, "Am I clinging to Ego or am I watching Ego?" -- where does the meter point on that scale for you?  That's the relevant question.

The way people describe shadow work, it’s usually a specific technique to achieve spiritual purification. But yeah the end goal is basically all the same.
