Dissonance began when Hashem took for Himself names
Which are something less than essence. The problems began when names came from essence.
But without names for Hashem's attributes, without names fir the levels of worlds, without names fir individual creations, etc none of this would exist!
Better existence as a result of a name although it's dissonance from essence than no existence at all.

What's essence on one level is a mere name, emanating on another level
And the Baal Shem Tov said this is true also for questions and answers.
This mirrors the "seder histalchilus" the creation of worlds by a chaining down of worlds. We see this in sefiros. We see this how excretion at one level is food for another level.

Life is full of ups and downs
And we say every churban, every down, obstacle, 😞, etc is only a path to a later elevation.
Is it then not true that conversely that every rise, every aliyah, etc is also a precursor to a later yerida?

The Hebrew
word for soul is neshamah. Central to that word, the middle two letters, shin and mem, make the word shem, Hebrew for ‘name.’ Your name is the key to your soul.

A name reveals the eseence
And so our parents had a minor prophecy to give us our names which encapsulate our essence. We use that name to communicate ourselves on high as in a mishebereach, on a mitzayva, an Aliya, etc.
But....Hashem has many names. Does each reveal an essence? Can He or any of us have more than one essence?

HE is infinite and can't really be given descriptions, but maybe each of his names is a different way in which we experience HIS presence
