he then realizes that without teaching and guiding others and using his talents he would not be truly living and his perfection would be hollow.

Wow! This is done so sotto voce that I must commend you. It must be nice to be living such a life of perfection that you can teach and guide others! You're very humble about it, too. If I were perfect, I'm sure I'd be a complete ass about it....

he/she is a Kabbalist.

There is a certain amount of self-inflation that occurs in individuals working with or exposed to higher energies (good and bad). It is one reason traditional Catholics and ethical Hindus assign mystics/disciples spiritual directors.

[Red Sea Swimmer]

Perfection in a human being is hard to define. I have done bad things in the past, but I believe my merit points far outweigh my demerit points.

I use the J.L.S. story as a metaphor. Even the main character in the book had faults. Defining the highest reaches of human endeavour, in all fields, i.e. Spiritual, Physical, Creative etc, is a good thing for people to do. When the truly wise people on the planet are recognized for who they are, a righteous government may prevail. Humankind needs leadership, just as a child needs parents.
