Personal development is all about personal power. It is about “improving” your own being in order to achieve your goals more efficiently, eliminating your limiting structures, beliefs, fears and other stuff that is in the way.
Usually personal development programs and techniques are not aimed explicitly toward transcendence, basically what they teach you is how to get the most out of your being in different areas of your life.
The paradox is that just as on a Spiritual path, the goal is to transcend your own limitations, transcend your current condition in order to achieve a higher state of existence. Obviously, this is not quite the statement, but it is the very same thing as “improve the quality of your life by removing your limiting beliefs”, or “learn how to earn more money by managing your time better” or other such goals.
What most human beings make as a mistake on both paths is ignoring completely the other part of the same evolutional formula.
Those on a Spiritual Path usually tend to ignore their human nature. They think that is they know the theory of bliss, they are already there, and many wake up after years of spiritual practice with all their limitations being still in the way, because they just simply ignored or repressed them, they never actually accepted their human nature and work on that structure as it is.
Others, who focus on personal development, forget that their actual goal is to become better and have more inner freedom, which is actually a quite spiritual goal. The majority is just developing themselves in order to achieve some physical, social and material goals, which they will surely obtain. Then they wake up that they are not fulfilled and do another course on some other improvement in their lives, not being aware that their need for growth does not have to have a physical motivation. It can be done just for the sake of discovering your own higher potential and then sharing it with the rest of the world.
