Can You Gamify Spirituality?

1•Arcane_Temple•2h ago
Hi HN — I’ve been building something unusual and would love your feedback.

Arcane Temple is a gamified learning platform exploring the science and structure of spirituality through level‑based study, quests, and a progression system. It’s for people who take inner development seriously but don’t resonate with traditional religion or New Age fluff — a kind of “intellectual home” for the spiritually curious.

The idea came from a simple observation: millions of people explore meditation, mysticism, altered states, myth, and consciousness, but there’s no shared framework or cohesive narrative. So I built an LMS that treats spirituality as a field of study — something you can investigate, practice, and level up through structured learning rather than belief.

The platform includes 40+ hours of free foundational content, a development‑archetype quiz, unlockable workshops, and a progression system. After the free levels, membership is $7/month and unlocks deeper content and meetings, but the core of the Temple will always remain open.

This isn’t a dogma project. It’s an open‑source investigation into the “arcane” — the underlying principles that show up in science, myth, psychology, and human development. I’m trying to build a serious training ground for people who want to explore the inner world with the same rigor they bring to the outer one.

I’m looking for early members who want to help shape the Temple. If you’re curious about the intersection of spirituality, science, and learning design — or if you just enjoy testing new platforms — I’d love your feedback. Early contributors become part of the “Inner Circle,” which just means you help refine the curriculum, stress‑test the gamification, and influence the direction of the project.

I’m ready for honest critique. Let me have it. Link: ArcaneTemple.com

I’ll be here all morning responding to questions and critiques. If anything feels unclear, unscientific, or poorly designed, please call it out — I want to refine this with real feedback.
