The fine fellow on the zoom seems to ask good questions and therefore
Initiates a dialogue. The problem is that those of us listening on the site cannot hear him.

"Pesach" is to pass-over, to jump over
Sometimes we must just jump over our limitations and not grapple with it. We're "stuck" in it. An outsider is by definition outside the quicksand the person is sunk into and stuck into.
But even Hashem is, kaviochel (so to speak) also "stuck" by the limits of the natural boundaries He Himself set up. Of course He can do a neis which is no less wondrous than regular everyday "nature", only the frequency is different.
But, even buyond a "little" neis, like Kris yam suf, (not a neis at all, water was created with the condition that it split when the yidden needed it); the "big" neis of yetzias Mitzrayim, the foundation of our yiddishkeit, the lynch pin of our entire system (as Hashem Himself indicates with the opening words of the Aseres HaDibros, occurred when Hashem Himself "jumped over" the system of creation He Himself set up and so He Himself had to execute the last plague, and not a messenger. To overcome the entire system of nature He Himself set up, He Himself had to "jump over" it and not an angel who is just as much stuck by and immersed in the quicksand of creation as we are in our personal quicksand.

A happy go lucky non frum yid
Who hears a glimmer of Torah feels, realizes, thinks and understands on a deep level admits that this glimmer is somehow true and emes. Not on the lower level of modeh when it makes sense to admit and submit, but on the higher level of admitting and submitting even when it doesn't make sense at all.

2 levels of modeh, of surrendering
The lower level occurs when it makes sense to the brain to surrender. No big deal if an army is about to wiped out but surrenders instead.. The higher level occurs when the person surrenders, even if it makes no sense.

"Modeh" is confession, admission, acknowledgement, thanks, etc nks
Notice that we start each and every day, weekdays, Shabbos, yom tov, even yom Kippur with "Modeh ani" and we end the day with Krias Shema which includes tachanun, a form of admission as well. The whole day is sandwiched between these acknowledgements

49, 49, 49, 49,49
What, if anything is the relationship between the 5 (or more) levels of 49 days of the Omer we count, the 49 middos we work on, the 49 levels of tumah yidden fell to in Mitzrayim, the 49 levels of kedusha Moshe Rabbenu reached and the 49 years until the yovel?

This question, especially about the 49th level of tumah in Mitzrayim was submitted before it was mentioned later on in the shiur.
