those are well-thought out! I would add:

Connecting, as in the fulfillment of the connection with another person in conversation or sex (or otherwise), or the fulfillment that a certain piece of music, art, or meditation brings.

That sort of fulfillment is not exactly or necessarily pleasant or satisfying; it doesn't have to be challenging or subtle; there's not necessarily empowerment or enlightenment involved. It's probably superlative, but that's not all it is. It is connection, which doesn't have to include any of the other seven or might include all of them.

Connection is good! like marinara.
