ARSo: I agree with you regarding the dangers of Hagshamah. For the most part, chassidus solves this problem by clothing the kaballah in language that is not dangerous. The Baal haTanya was generally very carefull how he worded things. Of course, the second and third rebbes of lubavitch are much more in depth than the first, and assume a lot of kaballah knowledge, but the average modern-day lubavitcher probably doesn’t learn these deep maamarim. I am willing to be דן לכף זכות for most modern-day lubavitchers in this matter, even though I have no love for the direction of modern-day lubavitch.
Regarding your second point, I stand corrected. You are right. Although I did not intend for the statement I made to mean what you took from it, after rereading it I definitely understand that I should have worded it more carefully. There are שבעים פנים לתורה. I am sorry.
