Before yesterday 31 Octubre, a especial day before 01 Novembre we stay a group of 35 pax visiting Montsegur and we were descending from the castle and singing LO BOIER !!! It was a fantastic experience !!!

This is a masterpiece. Occitan is such a beautiful language. I'm a native speaker of Portuguese with an interest in Galego-Português and they resemble each other so much. I can understand the lyrics clearly. Ever thankful for the influence of Occitan troubadourism on what would become, one day, Portuguese. 💕 And on another note, what was done against the Cathars and the Occitan people and language shall never be forgotten. Barbaric, criminal beyond words.

Since the moment I first finished listening to this song about 3 months ago, and also took stock at that moment of its indelible effect on my sense of self - as if, as someone else here put it, I had come 'home' - my life has changed dramatically and authentically for the better. I play it softly on repeat through the night and wake up to it as if held in the arms of the Beloved. It awakened me to an authenticity within that compelled me to shed the conditioned life I was living as if sleepwalking. I believe this song is here to awaken to the Cathar spirit within us. I believe that if it resonates with you, it is not an accident.

This is wonderful music 🎶 - I enjoy listening to it while praying & saying my Rosary 📿. I believe in embracing ALL my brothers & sisters who (regardless of belief) are in favor of kindness, compassion, understanding, respect, and striving for peace and light with ALL people. Sending them prayers 🙏 of blessings of all good things ❤

I have anxiety and PTSD. Listening to this helps calm my nerves. God bless you

This is heavenly music....Lots of love and respect from a Sufiic muslim....One day, i will do a cover of this though i don't know french at all...I was in tears as well after listening to this...There is something about AEIOU that just hit my heart like anything....So sad to know about Cathars though i might not agree with some of their beliefs but they had every right to believe in whatever they wanted....May God place their souls in highest heaven...Amen

I played this song on the eve of the passing into eternity of my brother Enongene Echede Jackson AKA Grand jack. He was a good man and am certain he live in the kingdom of God

Ce chant allège l'âme et apaise le cœur, merci du partage. Que vos vies soit à toutes et à tous remplie de bonheur et d'optimisme. Quoi qu'il arrive, ne cessé jamais de croire en l'existence. Paix sur vous tous

This was beyond beautiful to me , the cathars were a special group of people in my heart . Even though the church tried to destroy them , truth returned in our time ...I was never taught about Gnosticism , but it was with me all of my life in the way I viewed things , in my antinatalism , the longing I had even as a child for returning to heaven and in questioning of the creator god who Christians Muslims and Jews give their worship .. i would have said it was an odd accident in me finding this video , but I don’t think so .. as I was contemplating my own suicide , so beyond tired of this world . this brought me to tears Almost instantly , I felt the peaceful , spiritually comforting and kind hearted words . Thank you 😊

Sadness, hope, grief, beauty, love - this song broke my heart, and then healed it again. May all the Cathars awaken and remember...

The most beautiful haunting melody i ever heard..the first time I listened I was transfixed .. the second time it made me cry and the third time I had played it to other people and discovered an amazing fact! .. well two actually!! Thanks for putting this on here..

So much pain and suffering, I learnt more in depth about the Cathar, Languedoc and Occitan through history and recently I listened to the history of the Crusades. I did visit these regions so beautiful. But this is the first time I listen to their song of such lamentation. Their language is very easy to understand. Thank you so very much 🙏🏻 for the upload.

My Dear Gnostics Brothers and Sisters, keep the light shining in this difficult times, love all of you !!

The vowels are sacred to the First Nations people in North America, too. No coincidence there. What beautiful music. It touches me to the core. Is the language Occitane? It's not quite French.

Musique absolument divine qui procure un tel bien à l’âme. Plus je l’écoute🙏🏻 plus j’en ressens le besoin

It was on this day, exactly 777 years ago, that 210 Cathar "heretics" were burned alive below Chateau de Montsegur. 16 March 1244. It is said that they walked onto the pyre willingly, chanting and singing, refusing to give up their beliefs and turn themselves over to the catholic church.

Throughout the course of human history, many artists provided something deeper for those who want to see. This deeper message can be found in paintings, architecture, books, music, theatre, myths, religious teachings and any artform you can imagine. The artforms act as a filter: it's only possible to see for those who want to open their eyes and ears - the others will always stay at the literal superficial level of the art message. Do you want to want to start the real quest for the holy grail in your own life? - The Chant is not about a ploughman finding his wife, but the metaphor is extremely on point. - Every single element of this Chant and its artwork is highly spiritual in its deeper meaning. - It's not about the specific group of "Cathars", but about something connected with them. - The historical events around the Cathars show something deeper going on. - The Cathars are part of something, that was surpressed and attacked over and over again throughout history. - The struggle and persecution goes on even in our times. - This secret can not be teached or spread openly, because of that. - The emotions of pain, suffering and lamentation in this Hymn are real. - The understanding of this secret unifies your deepest emotions, your whole being, your capacities, longings and energies. - Because of the nature of this secret, every metaphorical presentation of it will act as a mirror to those looking at it: it reflects their own level of spiritual understanding. - It's not possible to teach this secret to other people by words and theory. Can you solve it? ------- "Lo Boier" is a mysterious Chant left for us by the Gnostic Cathars, when they were killed and annhiliated by religious powers in the 13th/14th century. It is highly symbolical and contains a hidden message for spiritual seekers. The cathars strived for personal experience of God, liberation and freedom from the material world, society and religious structures. They lived apart from the rest of society, welcoming every stranger, a life of peace and love. But something about them was so dangerous, that the religious leaders of their time killed them in several crusades - repeating a process, that repeats itself over and over again. On one day alone, more than 10.000 men, woman and children were killed. Many of them decided to get burned on the stake instead of bowing down. Cathars considered the laurel to be the sacred symbol of pure love. When inquisi­tors executed Cathars, they said: ‘The laurel wilts. Pure love fades’. The last Cathar Perfect Guillaume Bélibaste, who was burned at the stake in the castle of Villerouge-Termenes in 1321, proclaimed his famous prophecy: "In seven hundred years the laurel will become green again, good people will return". He thought about our times.

Anyone else have the ephony that Aeiou is the vowels of our alphabet ?. Absolutely beautiful and hits the soul differently when sung 💜. I literally felt tingling move down my body starting from my head.

Interesting how we are led to know about the Cathars. Right timing. I was led to them by many coincidences. 2010. Keep walking. So much inner learning.

Bonjour Patrick.. Merci pour ce magnifique chant cathare Le Bouvier.. Votre interprétation est poignante et ne me lasse pas de l écouter.. La Prophétie de nos Frères s est ENFIN réalisée..🌹🌹🌹🕊🦁💙

The AEIOU just completely melted my heart. Cried so much. Tears just pouring down. Pure beauty ❤️

In Greek ceremonial magic, the vowels were vitally important as they represented the building blocks of creation. It was thought the creator sung the universe into existence. You can find passages in the Hygromanteia and the Greek Magical Papyri which has strong Egyptian influence. I don’t know what the vowels mean for the Cathars but I imagine it’s very similar. I wouldn’t be surprised if the vowels also represented parts of the body which vibrates at the frequency of each vowel and singing them sort of cleansed the body of unclean energy or spirits. I know that sounds super new-agey but Pythagorus believed the same thing (healing power of sound) and he studied with the Egyptians for quite some time.

Cried so much listening to this, like I’ve forgotten myself, my way.. This is so hauntingly beautiful.

spoke to a great psychic friend who thinks the AEIOU were like a Buddhist chant - that each vowel stimulates/opens different chakras - that the song was written to awaken humanity in our greatest hour of darkness......a third eye opening through vibration...????!!!.....

C'est magnifique, merci de nous transmettre cette chanson occitane. Tout ce que tu fais est magnifique. Thanks for all you do. 👍❤️

I do not have enough words to convey my gratitude for this experience💓💓💓

Again one of your works of arts touches me deeply. And immediatly a part in me knows that there is so much to feel and detect in this for me. My first Impression was that the only way to receive all the contained information is to feel it deep with your soul and heart. And almost from the beginning there was a knowing in me that it is about our ascencion into another dimension of energy, state of being, frequency but this time also another manifestation of our real physical world. Then there was the info of my higher self that the AEIOU contains everything. And I remembered the deeper meaning of the numbers A=1 The unity of all that is.All is One.We are all connected in Spirit.And 1 is also the source and the beginning of everything E=5 The Transformation. When the Oneness of All that exists comes again to the awareness of people the transformation process starts. I=9 The Accomplishment. Mankind is developing to a point where they can master their own humanity and duality and can break through the veil of lost memento of who we really are and where we came from. O=6 The Universal human being And then we grow into our real place in this world, our full wisdom, our full power, empowerment, we act again in rightousness and accept our heritage as powerful universal beings. U=3 And that will create something NEW. A new world. New mankind. There will be a change that no one can stop no more.The time when darkness could overrule the light and the Good in this world is over! Joy and blessings to all! We did it. The Manifestation will follow and is no more stoppable. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

I've listened to various versions of this song, and this one (to me) captures the spiritual essence.

Conductor, musician, composer, developer, spiritualist, historian ............. what remains to be discovered in you my friend? God bless you

Patrick you are a real gift for humanity ! I’ll never say it enough.

🙏🏼 thank you for the lyrics and in English and original language. I can sing these words correctly. I am deeply grateful to have found your channel. Blessed be with graciousness. 🙏🏼😇🌎

I love this chant so much that it's painful, but beautiful beyond words, and I know I was there. My birth name is Laurina, after the laurel bush, my birth sign is Cancer, and water has played an important influence throughout my life. My family have been very arts and crafts orientated, and at times we have kept goats. A niece has recently visited Carcosonne, though we had not previously spoken about these things, and she loved it there. Thank you for posting this. God Bless 💯🌞🙏🏻💖

Why did i discover this channel only now? This is more than art cause It altered my emotions, my thoughts and now at this moment i am captured by this chant leaving my dinner plate behind me, food barely touched.

Merci pour ce chant magnifique. Je me sens tellement en symbiose avec l'époque médiévale et toutes ces belles âmes qui ont choisi de sacrifier leur vie à leur foi. Dieu vous bénisse pour nous faire vibrer avec votre voix. Gratitude

In other renditions, I have not heard the emphasis you give at 6:30, but it is one of the most satisfying climaxes I have ever heard committed to song. Thank you brother. This is truly divine.

When you tell what you know but feel it could endanger a whole world. A world lies here. Thank you brother in seeking.

Even though I'm a Muslim this remains one of my favourite religious chants.

Astounding, enchanting and intimately gracious. I thank you from my innermost heart for this. Long live holy Love!

This chant triggers something karmic within me. Rarely can I listen to it without it bringing me to tears.... both for it's haunting beauty, and for that part of my soullular heritage the message speaks to within me. 😎👍 It reminds me of my favorite prayer I wrote decades ago... Live like it's you last day, yet love like you'll live forever! ❤️🙏

This brings tears to my eyes and takes the words from my mouth, whilst feeling total prace with myself yet some anxiety. Thank you

It is soulful and uplifting whilst being melancholic and solemn. To me it resonates to ohm.

Mon coeur est touché profondément...je suis près du château de bélibaste, il y a une résonnance très forte en moi a propos de cette histoire.je suis moi même chanteur et votre chant m'a réellement ému..merci

Magnifique chant, merci.

Patrick, I have something beautiful to share and a book God led me to through your video. I haven't read it yet, but I know it's important clues about the Cathars, the 700 years, and the truth about the Holy Grail. I haven't read it but I have been TOLD to share it here. So, I've spent today praying because of heavy things in my life and the Spirit came on me very heavily to the point I was in tears - taking me through three different prophetic word videos about my specific situation - back to rediscover your channel - and then this. The Spirit did not leave once through all of it. I decided on a whim to Google the quote about the laurels at the end of the video - and I got pulled next to a result from this book. 'Crusade Against The Grail: The Struggle Between the Cathars, Templars, and the Church of Rome' It does seem to mention the Grail (which, I think is a spiritual thing more so than the images we know) was initially in the hands of the Cathars. I know that someone might find this book as a stepping stone. I haven't even read it, only skimmed - I was HEAVILY insisted to share it though. So it should be meaningful to someone. Anywho I bought it on Google play. Got stuff to read and deeper to dive. I think this is going to take me to the next step... the laurel goes green again! Thanks again Patrick, you are blessed as a messenger.

No music has every made me cry. This had me weep like a baby.

I love the chant , it’s opens the heart and the world needs to open its heart !

Yes, their prophecy was right. We did come 💕🙏💕 And Thank you for the work you are doing ...

Does this feel like 'home' to anyone else?

Exquisite, and ... familiar. We will witness 'the return of The Laurel." The time is here.

Our God is not stingy or selfish. He endows each of His children with gifts, talents, skills, and abilities. Aren't we all the more blessed that Patrick chose to use what was given to him in a way that glorifies and honors our Lord while stirring the mind, heart, soul and spirit of those of us who are fortunate enough to hear his music. Truly, the Spirit of God is with him. Hopefully, Patrick will never tire of filling our world with Light and Life.

Well said! It's all about the vibrational frequency. That's the power and the magic! Listen to other cultures and the sounds of their ceremonies. Native American, Tibetan, Celtic, etc... Listen to the deep vibrational tones. They have a strong resonating effect. You can literally feel it with your body!

I remember I visited the Cathar castles of Peyrepertuse, Quéribus and Montsegur near the city of Carcassonne in the Pyrenean mountains during a middle school trip in 2002...great memories

The depth of my soul whispers to me of a time past when the heart was pure and mind divine

1321 he said 700 years later which is exactly in one year........2021 how beautifull

I'm from The Philippines and this music gives me religious forever & I love it! I pray to all of you brothers and sisters😇🙏🎶

Hola _ Estos cantos hermosos le dan fuerza al espíritu _ Que ha sufrido mucho para fortalecer todo el daño que ocasiona el ignorante . Muchas gracias saludos de Palmira Colombia Felicitaciones...

Fabulous! Very emotive for me .. I posed a question about the AEIOU and then saw all the comments below!!! My quest for answers is successful .. I was given my "Heartsong" some years ago and clearly heard the vowels! I was quizzical, asking like what sort of Heartsong are the vowels, but I have been using them in my prayers and Sacred Service since then and feel the expansion. To have received these gems today is beyond amazing, so thank you everyone!!

So much energy emitting from this beautiful song. It takes me away. Want to stay here forever. Thank you so much for sharing. Peace and Love to You!

Its so sad that had to happen to a community of people who believed in God and Christ in their own way. The music conveys all the saddest that the Cathars must have felt knowing that they were all going to die.😔😪

It takes a whole new level when one is in the know of the symbols. May their souls ascend and shine bright like the Sun.

Este canto lleno de nostalgia se refiere a la muerte o final de la hermosa Iglesia Cathara . " Aquí yace la pobre de Joana que ha partido al paraíso" Esas hermosas y perfumadas Rosas Catharas que fueron inmoladas ya han renacido en " EL JARDÍN DE LAS ROSAS "

Lovely!! Well done. Thank you for it. I truly needed it today. I believe I am a Cathar reborn. I have know this for quite some time. I believe we are back on earth to speak of the immortality of the soul and to serve the Light, once again. My husband recently died of Cancer, he too, was a Cathar. We were 'believers' until his death. After his death in that life, I had become a Perfecta, and was burnt for my beliefs. It is my belief that we knew about the mystical fire, and this hymn was about meditation, prayer and raising the energies into the higher chakras. That is why the church hated us... if you become a mystic, why do you need a pope or priest to mediate between you and God? May the highest deity bless us. They never won our hearts They never won our hearts from us They never won our hearts from us, We are warriors of the Heart and never will we die. Death never comes to the pure of heart. Never do we die.

Imi vine sa plâng Si acum cand ascult muzica aceasta iti aduce aminte de Dumnezeu e cutremurător de frumoasa ....

Indeed, 700 years later they found in Nag Hammadi library of Egypt a bunch of manuscripts with Gnostic teachings and gospels of Christ! Good men and women are slowing blooming and return to Truth! 😖🙏🏾🙏🏾

This is so beautiful and angelic, I can’t stop listening to it 💕🙏💕

Es hat einen Grund, warum diese Musik unsere Seele so tief berührt und ich glaube, wir werden es sehr bald wissen. Thank you so much ✨💛💫

Stunningly beautiful, pure vibration. It made me sob and I am forever grateful for this gift ❤️🙏🏻💕

The best version ever. Thank you, Patrick!

J'ai écouté cet hymne sans savoir ce que c'était. Simplement parce que c'était de Patrick Lenk. Et puis? Et puis le chant devient si poignant à la fin que j'ai senti quelque chose en moi, comme une énergie inconnue qui s'élevait vers du meilleur. Difficile à décrire. Et depuis, le chant ne me quitte plus. Il est constamment dans ma tête. Et j'ai découvert d'autres versions. Toutes très belles. Mais celle-ci est celle qui a touché mon âme. Merci, Patrick Lenk. God bless you. Alles gute!

Your voice is so beautiful blessing be upon you❤️

This is the best version I have ever heard and felt. Thank you from my soul AEIOU 🌹

🙏😢💔 Какое прекрасное душетрогательное песнопение! Я́ко милосерд, преставленным даруй прегрешений прощение, и вечное наслаждение подая, иде́же сияет лица Твоего́ светлость, и озаряет страстотерпцы Твоя́. Нов Адам вои́стинну быв, Адамов Соде́телю, И́же клятву бо Адамову Един потребил еси́. Те́мже молимся Те́бе: преставленныя упокой в сладости ра́йстей, Христе́, я́ко Един милосерд. (Из канона о усопших многих)

It's hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing!!!

May the memory of the Cathars live forever! Que la memoria de los Cátaros viva por siempre!

Finally, my brother. Thank you. It is amazing how witnessing and experiencing the pain can get you closer to God by the point that you feel there is no diference between deep pain and deep love and mercy of God. We should all long for that pain that was pulsating in Jesus heart on the cross. God bless you.

Finally got back to the computer and... This! Amazing. Thanks.

Dear Patrick, *Thank You* for bringing this to me....this has affected me very deeply indeed....soul level resonance and powerful emotional memories coming forth with such captivatingly beautiful vocal harmonics...I have to purchase a copy of this right now so I can listen to it very often. We Rise Again. Bless your Heart Brother xx

The most moving work on this channel yet ...

God Bless and MANY Thanks!

I lived many years in Ariège after moving there from Toulouse, my birthplace. That was in the 1990s and the early 2000s. You can feel the longing atmosphere of a nigh forgotten, albeit still lingering era all over the land once you're immersed in it. Cette atmosphère qui vous prend au cœur est inoubliable. Ah, Lo Boier! Des profondeurs de ce chant mélodieux nous parviennent les émotions musicales d'événements tragiques s'étant déroulés il y a huit cents ans.

deep like an ocean. higher dimension. wonderful.

Wonderful sound! The heart recognizes how wonderful and divine is attached to this musical composition. A caress for the soul. Greetings from Mexico

1:06 "at the foot of the fire" (al pè del fuòc), that just means "next to the hearth"

This is what I wrote 20 years ago when I discovered a previous existence as a Cathar. The following explanation is given by by that personality known as Liese in the 1200s. I quote... The Cathar community (it wasn’t the only one, there were many around) concentrated on self sufficiency. Some communities were larger than others. They had definite principles concerning their beliefs and as these opposed the Catholic faith it brought them into conflict. The Cathars believed in the spirit surviving death and re entering life when the time was right to do so (reincarnation). They also believed in hell being on earth and the domain of the devil. God was good in every sense of the word but could not or would not touch the devil’s domain. There was no place called hell when you left this earthly existence. That is very different to the Catholic belief of heaven and hell. The threat of hell kept people in their control through fear, you only had one life and this was it. Healing was considered the work of the devil. The Catholic’s constantly made people swear oaths. The Cathars would not take oaths as their philosophy was that if you lived your life with love and honesty, then why would you have to swear and take oaths to justify your honesty and truthfulness. The Cathars were a people of gentle sympathetic beliefs that encompassed the rhythm of the natural and supernatural world and included healing using the hands. They made staged commitments to the Cathar community as they developed spiritually and felt right and ready to do so. There was no pressure of advancement because there was no one to impress, and all spiritual journeys are for the development of each individual soul. Blessings.

Me traslada a otra dimensión celestial, a Dios gracias

Merci infiniment pour cette magnifique Chanson Cathare !!!

"Woman, have you gone insane? Have you not taken your medicine?" "If I die, bury me with my feet to the wall and my face towards the tap. Let those who come ask 'Who died here?'. And let it be known: Jeanne. And may the water from the tap be holy, for I will ascend to heaven."

I start each and every day with prayer and this chant! Thank you so very much...!

He said to them, "Anyone here with two ears had better listen! There is light within a person of light, and it shines on the whole world."
