“frum people should learn more penimius hatorah”
Right. That’s what the Ramchal said to. He was before the Besht, No? Surely you know that Rashbi already said so in the Zohar. That isn’t the point.
“(just focus more on Hashem himself”, understand what he is”
Your statement here IS the problem. The tragedy is that you don’t even realize it. The Ramchal says explicitly that nowhere in all of Chachmas HaEmes is that discussed. In fact that subject is completely out of bounds. The whole of Chachmas HaEmes (or “Pnimius HaTorah) speaks ONLY about what Hashem does (which includes His intent). I know you will say that this is a matter of dispute of “Rishonim K’Malachim” (The Baal HaTanya and Nefish HaChaim) Before you do, keep in mind that:
1) the Ramchal preceded them.
and
2) see the hakdama to Adir B’Marom (in the green set) where you can glean an insight into how the Ramchal was regarded by the Magid (Tamid Muvchak of the Besht and the Rebbe of the Baal HaTanya).
