In this essay I introduce agape as the love of compassionate, educative hospitality for the student's flaws, faults, and mistakes. In producing solarpunk selves we need to be willing to make room for the imperfections of those we seek to change. Transformation is hard enough without punishing people for not already being where we demand they be.

In this essay, I discuss how self-development requires an ecology of practices that focus on multiple forms of development. I then talk about the philosophy of aspiration and define what an increase in complexity means.

In this essay I go deeper into the notion that we are composed of parts. In understanding the solarpunk self we need to take these parts into consideration because they can be at different stages of development. If we, despite our usual behaviour, frequently do things that defy our best intentions, then we need to understand why these parts of us do what they do. This was inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the work of Richard Schwartz.
