Interesting topic, parallels those of other spiritual disciplines as well.
1) would be equivalent to removing attachments one by one, 2) is equivalent to removing the energy / juice powering those attachments by focusing attention away from the mind/ego and onto witness/awareness/ the "I am" thought, and 3) is equivalent to transcending the ego identity altogether (did I get them right?)
I'm also curious to what the "recipe" to 3) would be, since I didn't know there was a systematic way about it, thought it just came by itself in one of those satori moments during meditation or something.
