Growth Mode
Growth Mode is an Ego Mode of the Physical Unit that activates when the body is not wasting energy on defence or repair and when all Seven Essential Needs are sufficiently met. When all needs are met, the individual moves onto exploration and growth. [1] Growth mode is a mode of operation where a substantial portion of available energy goes towards healing, alignment, and connection.

Notes
A human in growth mode has a healthy mind and body free of toxic adaptations and dysfunction. A human in full growth mode is loving, empathic, strong, beautiful, competent, expressive, confident, connected, and capable of handling and expressing its animating spiritual ego. A human in growth mode will act in an aligned fashion. It will not put itself in harm’s way nor will it harm other living beings. We talk the specifics of alignment in LP Workbook Three. [2]
As Maslow said, humans have a natural built in ability to heal, a “will to health,” [3] or a will to satisfy needs, align, and connect.
Growth mode can only manifest when the individual is safe, secure, and where all their needs are sufficiently satisfied.
An individual in growth mode can easily be focussed and guided towards Healing, improvement in Alignment, and Connection.
Daniel McQueen speaks of using Cannabis to heal and move people from post-traumatic stress mode to post-tramatic growth mode.[4]
Kaufman considers there is a "fundamental biological drive" for exploration that is at the foundation of growth mode. [5]
