Toras Chaim, or "advice for living" is composed of two parts:

the revealed Torah

and the hidden, or

esoteric Torah.

Rabbi Shimon is the master of both teachings.

The 'head' of the 10 Supernal Worlds is comprised of the Worlds of Wisdom, Understanding, and Knowledge.

Chabad Lubavitch Hassidim

claim that this is their approach to the higher Torah, the Kabbala.

Breslov Hassidim

claim the World of Crown - Keter, which is at the top of them all. The Zohar, The Book of Splendor, is the guide book for those who walk on the path of esoteric wisdom.
