	BARDO Awakening from the Dream
		BARDO is designed to incorporate a lifetime of spiritual practice into the moments of transition we call "death".
		It helps the dying person to chart a path through the dissolution of consciousness as it is experienced after the physical death.
		The Bardo reminds the dying person (or the meditator) to constantly recognize that all phenomena are projections of one´s own mind.

	Bardo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These usually follow a particular sequence of degeneration from, just after death, the clearest experiences of reality of which one is spiritually capable, to, later on, terrifying hallucinations arising from the impulses of one's previous unskilful actions.
		For the spiritually advanced the bardo offers a state of great opportunity for liberation, since transcendental insight may arise with the direct experience of reality, whilst for others it can become a place of danger as the karmically created hallucinations can impel one into a less than desirable rebirth.
		In the West, the term bardo may also refer to times when our usual way of life becomes suspended, as, for example, when we are on retreat.

	Bardo Thodol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bardo Thodol, sometimes called the Tibetan Book of the Dead, is a funerary text that describes the experiences of the soul after death during the interval known as bardo between death and rebirth.
		The chonyid bardo features the experience of visions of various Buddha forms (or, again, the nearest approximations of which one is capable).
		Thus together the "six bardos" form a classification of states of consciousness into six broad types, and any state of consciousness forms a type of "intermediate state" - intermediate between other states of consciousness.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Bardo Pond
		Bardo Pond, by their own admission, have never played a show "straight" -- that is, bereft of the calming influence and/or perceptual enhancements provided by controlled substances.
		Perhaps, in their own turtle-slow fasion, Bardo Pond are attempting to crawl out of the stoner-rock ghetto, and will one day conquer the world with their definitive cover of "Tomorrow Never Knows".
		While we wait (and wait and wait) for the big Bardo break, I'll be satisfied with the gradual evolution of their sound and the feverish volatility of their live performances.

	BARDO -Awakening from the Dream
		This edition offers a holistic, almost scientific understanding about the neuro-physiological processes in the dying process, the spiritual dimensions of dying, and of the preparation for a conscious death, free from fear and suffering.
		Bardo makes us aware of the urgency of a conscious life, a life of compassion and respect for all life forms.
		In this receptive state, your memory system in the subtle (astral) body will store the process so that you are able to remember it after your physical death, when body, mind and personality are disintegrating, and the components of your consciousness dissolve into the elements.

		Bardo Pond was formed in Philadelphia in 1989 by guitar-playing brothers Michael and John Gibbons, who'd long had an interest in making free-form noise, though they didn't pick up nonpercussion instruments until attending art school in their twenties.
		Bardo Pond issued its first album, Bufo Alvarius Amen 29:15, in early 1995; its title was taken from the scientific name for the notorious hallucinogenic toad found in the western U.S. The CD version appended "Amen 29:15," a near-half-hour jam that marked Takeda's recorded debut with the band.
		In the meantime, Bardo Pond and Matador abruptly parted ways; after playing the All Tomorrow's Parties festival, the band signed with its spin-off label of the same name, and debuted with the full-length On the Ellipse in 2003.

	Erowid Library : The Psychedelic Experience
		Accordingly, one function of the Bardo Thodol appears to be more to help those who have been left behind to adopt the right attitude towards the dead and towards the fact of death than to assist the dead, who, according to Buddhist belief, will not deviate from their own karmic path.
		If, in the second Bardo, the voyager is incapable of holding on to the knowledge that the peaceful and wrathful visions were projections of his own mind, but became attracted to or frightened by one or more of them, he will enter the Third Bardo.
		In the original Bardo Thodol the aim of the teachings is "liberation," i.e., release from the cycle of birth and death.

	Bardo Teachings
		The particular significance of this Bardo, which seems somewhat distinct from the Bardos that occur after death, is that one uses this period of one’s life to practice in preparation for one’s death and for one’s experience of subsequent Bardos.
		Last night, of the four Bardos or intervals, we looked at the natural Bardo between birth and death, which in the usual, narrow sense of using the term Bardo to mean the interval after death, is not, in fact, a Bardo [or "the Bardo"] at all.
		So the Bardo of the time of death really consists of the final moments of your life, in which the appearances of this life are gradually dissolving, or diminishing in their vividness.

	After-Death States - The Tibetian Buddhist and Spiritualist Views
		For the dying individual, the bardo is the period of the afterlife that lies in between two different incarnations.
		The second bardo or the "bardo of becoming" is a stage in which the desires of the individual are said to carry the largely helpless soul through a great variety of intense emotional states.
		The soul in the second bardo is many times caught in a dream state sometimes unaware that it has died, and incapable of taking action to raise its state of consciousness to a threshold level of awareness where it can direct its attention towards spiritual states.

		All but one track is 10+ minutes, with two pushing very close to 20, allowing them plenty of time to travel deep into the center of the sound hole they stumbled upon when the tape began to roll.
