Pashuta Yid,
You might like the Baal Shem Tov better than the Torah, but he liked the Torah better than himself. The proof that it is never too late to fix up, is that Hashem kept you alive. The proof that it is too late for the Ben Sorer Umore is that Hashem said to kill him.
What you say about mixed messages is very nice, although it’s a drop out of the pshat. The reason I wrote “whatever that means” is simply because I’m not sure what it means. It might mean literally the same voice. That, however would be a Mum on the part of one of them. It might mean the same kind of voice, or the same voice had they been on the same pitch.
The point is the same, though, as what you said. Their message must be the same, and they must be working together with one plan.
In stead of switching or reverting to other dimensions of Torah, first understand the Omek Hapshat. Sometimes, after learning through the Drush, Remez and Sod, you can come back to the Pshat with a new understanding.
