Tears wash away the "sins" and laughter ridiculizes my prior thoughts and decisions. Happiness with myself and others follows because I release my attachments by looking at them.

The only "correction" to what I saw in this video is the idea of a "deeply inverted mind". I would refine the concept to "introspective" which puts one in an altered state that is mainly subjective. Looking into the subconscious would be a technical western description.

His larger message, and mine, is that we can all do the work he did and be like him -- we ARE like him and he wants us to come out and play/commune as brothers/sisters with him
Just remember that to "sin" is only to err or miss the mark, many have given the word a negative connotation.

"I" am seeming to catch "myself" in the act and relieving the "self" of control, not by fighting, but by disconnecting. The "self" still feels a certain way, but is no longer running the show, "I" am observing.

We don't want to "Control Ourselves" but observe and disconnect the self from control through being/watching/observing and not reacting but acting through non-reaction to the self's emotion/feeling at any given moment, let the self be without letting it act anything out in the manifested.
