Stream Enterer is the name of the collaborative project I have done with
two other artists. SE Volume 3 is on the way to everyone who expressed
interest in our unique presentation inspired by the Bardo Thodol, (The
Tibetan Book Of The Dead).
Last year, a friend of mine in Atlanta suddenly died from a rare disease
with no warning symptoms. Before she died, she had told her sister that she
wanted me to sing her favorite song to her and so I did this at her
bedside in her home on a Friday night. She had been brought home to die
and she said good-bye to me that night. She fell into a coma not long after
that night and died early on Sunday morning. It was suggested to me by
someone I respect to read the Bardo Thodol for my friend. I did so as
instructed for 49 days and completed much additional chanting on top of the
bluff in Pacifica, California. It is written that reading the Bardo Thodol
aloud and listening to it being read is informing one to the necessary
awareness of the White Light.
