Kierkegaard

Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher in the 19th century. He is known for his three lifestyles he came up with. They are the Aesthetic, Ethical, and Religous. He described the Aesthetic lifestyle as being the person who does what he wants, do whatever pleases you. The Ethical being one where you do what is morally right. Finally the religious being one where you live by the word of God.
For a paper, I have to come up with a fourth lifestyle.
What would you call this fourth lifestyle? What ultimately counts for a person living this lifestyle, how would he live his life? What person in todays world, past or present, lived this lifestyle? Describe characteristic negative emotion that inevitably goes with this lifestyle.
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated! I am having much trouble thinking of a fourth lifestyle.

well you're cheating.... but here's what I think
the Psychedelic lifestyle! Not characterized by the consumption of drugs, but instead by living "in the moment" ... a Be Here Now type of philosophy!
Psychedelic means literally "Mind Manifesting" and I believe that that is how we live. Our will manifests as thoughts, our thoughts manifests as actions, and actions change the world. Every moment our mind is being manifested into reality through the process of conscious existence! Achieving what you want and being happy is simply a matter of transforming your thoughts into reality. This is a psychedelic process. The basis for it is CREATIVITY!
People who live this lifestyle? Edison, Ghandi, MLK, Bill Gates, Ford, Shulgin, Trump, all artists, all creators, all visionaries and dreamers!
Negative emotions? Doubt, fear, lack of faith in one's own abilites. Frustration at percieved impotence. The struggle against apathy and inertia.
Now if you use this you have to acknowledge, at least to yourself, that you plaigarized it and failed to be creative on your own.

Christ, someone who does what he wants, but is at same time following the word of God, and at the same time is always ethical(rightous)
-------------------- "Religion without science is blind, Science without religion is lame." Albert Einstein "peace is not maintained through force it is acheived through intelligence." Albert Einstein "Those who desire to give up Freedom in order to gain Security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." Thomas Jefferson "To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical." --Thomas Jefferson

Yeah yeah, spot on brother.
I call this living transcedentally. Living above a regular mindset, in which there's a solution to everything if you just envision it. Your mind is your ultimate toolbox, with 1,000s of neurons with 10,000 of neuroconnectors attached to each one, all tunable, to make you feel, however you want, when you want.
The reason that this type of lifestyle can go hand in hand with psychedelic drugs is because these substances have the power of a catalyst, they can kickstart your vision and escalade it to realms a sober mind could never grasp.

You could say that the fourth lifestyle is one of transgression: a desire to move beyond the current limitations in a pursuit of freedom. It may work well with his conception of angst.
