Closer to connection is unequivocally better for a person. More distant from connection is worse for a person. Kabbalah is the science of connection. In somewhat of a connection with others, most of the problems in the world would be solved. In deeper connection the Creator is even revealed.
We use these terms but we’re relying on the words of Kabbalists. We can’t be creative. Every word we say should be backed up by what they’ve said. True Kabbalists only speak out of what they’re attaining. Even what astronomers measure and then talk about, for example, is something much weaker than what Kabbalists call attainment, there’s a lot of room to be mistaken.
Not online, but in the back of Kabbalah for the Student there’s a glossary according to Baal HaSulam. There’s also definitions that are valuable to know in his Study of the Ten Sefirot, which you can find here: https://kabbalahmedia.info/en/sources/EiUPsO0e
It won’t help. You need to write a sentence with a question mark at the end. The explanations and stories are for you to arrive at that one sentence with the question mark. Arriving at that clear question is even more important than the answer. Because before that, there isn’t a clarified deficiency. That scrutiny is one’s homework, which the instructor can’t help with.
And you’d be as anguished to lose your pinky as your arm. Though some organs could turn out to be functionally more pivotal. This is how important every friend in the group turns out to be. They’re my soul, each one indispensable.
One side of the coin is that: “they are great” and so on. The other side is “and I’m not great like they are”. I’m putting it very simply but Rabash details this psychology extensively in his first several articles. If these two sides of the coin are amplified earnestly I can’t remain as I am and I develop. Otherwise everything will be “fine” and I’ll develop but very slowly.
