Bisha’a Shehikdimu 5713, Class Two. Three steps: 1) יציאת מצרים and 2) ספירת העומר, and 3) מתן תורה, these three are (in Avodah) 1) אתכפיא and 2) אתהפכא ע”י המשכת מוחין למדות and 3) ביטול במציאות. There a connection between the lowest level and the highest level. These three steps are also in Davening 1) מודה אני and 2) the entire middle of Davening (until פסוקי דזמרא and פסוקי דזמרא and ברכות קריאת שמע and שמע) and 3) שמונה עשרה. There’s a link between the first and third steps.

Bisha’a Shehikdimu 5713, Class Three. The two ideas of… 1) The link between the lowest and highest Avoda 2) The idea of “the Avoda of Kesser” …are both discussed in this class. The פסוק ולא תעלה במעלות על מזבחי אשר לא תגלה ערותך עליו is explained, there’s a ramp (gradual imperceptible climb- linked to the Avoda of סובב כל עלמין) and steps (distinct steps of growth, separated from one another- linked to the Avoda of ממלא כל עלמין). When one is in the beginning of Avoda, if they approach Avoda step by step they will see their “nakedness” (i.e.) weaknesses and be discouraged, so you start by climbing the ramp, this means הודאה וביטול it gets you past your חסרונות and ultimately you reach the highest levels.
