Hey, I'm trying to transcribe this piece of beauty. But, I'm having trouble figuring out what Cohen is saying in this part:


"This is the ____ of dying
It is important now tor ecognize your own nature
Do not resist this
Do not be afraid"


I know it's trivial but it's bugging me!

Nevermind, I found it. It's "Bardo"

I've always thought he said;

"This is the art of dying"?

bardo thodol?

what does bardo mean???

I thought it was Bardom....

Hi, I'm mostly a lurker here, but this caught my interest.

From Wiki:
The Tibetan word Bardo means literally "intermediate state" - also translated as "transitional state" or "in-between state" or "liminal state".

I think an even more interesting point is the title of the song.
Again, from Wiki:
"Consciousness causes collapse" is the name of an interpretation of quantum mechanics according to which observation by a conscious observer is the cause of wave function collapse.

I like how some of Dev's music is filled with hints to these themes. Skesis is another good one, with the "...relates to all god, vibration" part. There should be a separate thread for the mystic themes in his music.

I can't wait for Ki, 'cause it seems to be filled with more references to wacky theories.
