The above diagram is from the pamphlet “Wonders” which is based on the teachings of Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburgh of the Gal Einai Institute, translated to English by Rabbi Moshe Genuth a disciple of Rabbi Ginsburgh. His article “The Ternary Torah” explores some depth how all the Torah or Divine Revelation is based on the number 3. This was sent to me by a Rabbi who is a disciple of the teachings of Rabbi Moshe Genuth. This is a Triadic or Tri-une understanding of Divine Revelation which is found throughout the Jewish tradition.
However, I personally, for the triad of Chasidut (also written and pronounced as Chasidus) would put the Baal Shem Tov and the Maggid together as the Wisdom (Chokhmah) of Chasidut, and then the Alter Rebbe and Chabad Chasidut as the Binah (Understanding) of Chasidut and then Rebbe Nachman and the Chagat Chasidut (or Chagas Chasidus) as the Da'at (Knowledge) of Chasidut.
Chasidism has two types known as Chabad and Chagas or Chagat. Chabad is Chasidism from a more head or intellectual approach of the Sefirotic triad of Chokhmah (Wisdom), Binah (Understanding) and Da'at (Knowledge). Da'at is the outer face of Keter (Crown) and its inner face is the Divine Will. Breslov and all the other main Chasidic groups today come from the heart perspective based on the middle triad of the Sefirotic array of Chesed (Loving kindness mercy), Gevurah (Power or Strength) and Tiferet (Beauty). Gevurah is also known as Din (Judgement or Justice) and Tiferet is also known as Rachamim (compassionate mercy).
The Rabbi who sent me this agrees with me about my re-arrangement of the Chasidut 'ternary". One must take into account that Rabbi Ginsburgh was ordained as a Chabad Lubavitcher Rabbi. However, Rabbi Ginsburgh has in a sense become a Rav and a Rebbe to many people not limited to the Chabad movement but his students or disciples besides Chabad Chasidim include Charedim, Breslov Chasdim (such as Rabbi Shalom Arush), religious Zionists, and as well as ba'alei teshuva. Many years ago I found his teachings on the Gal Einai website and found them very helpful in my own understanding of Jewish mysticism along with the writings of Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan and teachings of the Breslov movement on Rebbe Nachman.
Rabbi Ginsburgh is somewhat controversial and one may be a follower or disciple of his mystical teachings without being a follower or disciple of his more political movement. He has been accused by the leftist secularists of supporting killing, violence and racism as they often do to anyone who is a right-wing conservative. Many have taken what he has written out of context and he advocates change through conversion of heart and mind not through violence and coercion. He clarified his position:
Never did I advocate taking non-Jewish life, except when tragically forced by war. The Torah forbids this, emphasizing that ALL human life is sacred. It is our task, as G-d's chosen people to enlighten all humanity and raise the consciousness of mankind to fully recognize the sanctity of all life... When G-d deemed it necessary that the Egyptians drown in the Red Sea to save and liberate His chosen people, Israel, He nonetheless forbade His ministering angels to rejoice at the death of the Egyptians, His own creations. The Torah instructs us to "emulate His ways" of mercy and lovingkindness to all. (1996)
