THE UNIVERSAL GREETING · Affirmation for Peace, Unity and Love
"I offer you peace, I offer you friendship, I offer you love
I hear your needs, I see your beauty, I feel your feelings
My wisdom flows from a higher source
I salute that source in you
Let's work together."
This powerful affirmation has the intention of uniting human beings from all walks of life, from all cultures, countries and ethnicities, to aid in the creation of harmonious, compassionate and peaceful relationships. This affirmation’s purpose is spreading the idea that we are all One. It is usually accompanied by gestures and shared in a call and response format.
While this greeting has been attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, which is unconfirmed, it has been shared for many decades by Grand Gong Master Don Conreaux, who received it from those who called themselves “World Servers” in 1983.
As Don put it: "5 unknown world servers gave it to me 1983 and I said that I would spread it because 9 ( as in: 9 single lines of text) was the number of the gong as well. I added: You are another myself and I am another yourself...We are one....So be it ...Namaste. This brings the number of lines to the Sacred number 13".
Michele Averard and Nestor Kornblum also received The Universal Greeting from another source in 1997 and have been sharing it with many thousands of people since then, and in many languages.
At this time, in Don’s 88th year, we decided to put music to this beautiful affirmation, and this recording is the result.
There are a lot of people involved in this project, please consider this when buying the track, you are welcome to donate more than the 1€ stated, if you wish, thank you! 🌹
lyrics
VERSE 1
I offer you peace, I offer you friendship
I offer you love
I hear your needs, I see your beauty
I feel your feelings
My wisdom flows from a higher source
And I salute that source in you, in you, you
Let's work together
CHORUS
I hold the wisdom within,
All I need is to believe
VERSE 2
Yo te ofrezco paz, te ofrezco amistad
Te ofrezco amor
Oigo tus necesidades, veo tu belleza
Siento tus sentimientos
Mi sabiduría fluye de una fuente superior
Y yo saludo esa fuente en ti, en ti, en ti
Trabajemos juntos
CHORUS
I hold the wisdom within,
All I need is to believe
