DaMoshe I’m not going to respond at length as I think people here are bH sufficiently educated on chassidus in general, but just to make you aware, besides Achiya HaShiloni, the Baal Shem Tovs mentor was R Adam Baal Shem, who was preceded by R Yoel baal shem, whose teacher was R Eliyahu baal shem who was of the mekubali
and had a Yeshiva in Worms. The ways of These Baal Shem were kept secret from the general population, except for their own students, and that’s why maybe you only heard of the Baal Shem Tov who was forced to reveal himself to the world at large on his 36th birthday
