From my perspective, personal development and spiritual awakening are both segments of the same journey. Up to a certain point in life, our persona (egoic identity) is being created in a rather unconscious process. We gather impressions from our parents, friends, colleagues, and the world around us. We model our mentors and impersonate that which provides us with the most attention and love in return.
When this process shifts from an unconscious to a conscious one, I would call it personal development. We are now involved in actively shaping our persona according to our own visions and dreams. Many empowerment teachings promote the principle that we are the creators of our own worlds.
Personal development eventually culminates into spiritual awakening. We've achieved everything that we set out to achieve. We ticked all the boxes and cannot find another satisfying answer to the question of what's next? That's when our attention turns inward.
»The only way out is in.«
Why am I doing all this, and where does it lead me? What is this life really about? Who am I on the deepest level? Those are some of the questions that can come up. Experiencing the answers to the deepest questions can be called spiritual awakening. It might sound abstract, but it's really not just about mental understanding. It's about directly and intimately experiencing the answer – being the answer.
Our deepest understanding of who we are – our core identity – is what shapes our reality and determines the course of our lives. We can think of our identity as the box that we’re living in. As much as it enables us to do certain things, it also limits us. Each time we go through a transformation, our identity is expanding. The more it expands, the more inclusive it becomes.
