Co-Creating the Global Gong Puja

β€œWHY” CORE CONCEPT & β€œHOW” STRUCTURE OVERVIEW

πŸŒ• Continuous gong resonance for peace across the planet during each Full Moon

πŸŒ• We invite different countries / regions to host and steward a Full Moon

πŸŒ• We activate a 24-hour planetary sound field, moving westward with the moon

 12 FULL MOONS Β· 12 HOST MONTHS

Each Full Moon has:

πŸŒ• 1–2 Lead Host Countries

πŸŒ• Multiple Regional Hosts (time-zone based)

πŸŒ• Open invitation for gong players worldwide to participate


THE 24-HOUR TIME ZONE FLOW MODEL

πŸ” β€œTHE RINGING EARTH” FORMAT - Sound moves around the globe, one region at a time: each region signs up for one or more blocks - the baton is passed like a relay.

Time Zone Block Example Regions

UTC+12 to +10 New Zealand, Australia

UTC+9 to +7 Japan, Korea, SE Asia

UTC+6 to +4 India, Middle East

UTC+3 to +1 Africa, Eastern Europe

UTC 0 UK, Portugal

Gong Consciousness Philosophy: 

The gong is a planetary instrument for peace, sound as a global prayer + action; Full Moon energy illuminates, celebrates and projects intention/significance. 

Important: No competition β€” contributions are additive, cooperation and working together, we are one.

Notes: 


Why Wesak Day?

In Western Tibet near the holy Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar, lies the Wesak valley. According to tradition, at the full moon day of May (The month of Taurus in Astrology), Buddha comes to the Wesak valley to bring powerful spiritual energy of Shamballa (or Shambhala) to the assembled masters, initiates and disciples of the Hierarchy, for the assimilation and eventual distribution of Shambhala force throughout the world. The Kalachakra tantra prophesies that when the world declines into war and greed, and all is lost, the 25th Kalki king will emerge from Shambhala with a huge army to vanquish Dark Forces and usher in a worldwide Golden Age.

Another legend found is that in the Wesak Valley, Tibet, the Buddha links in a triangle with Sanat Kumara and The Christ, over lighting assembled Masters of Wisdom standing in a five-pointed star formation, whilst a crowd of pilgrims looks on. 

The gathering of people in ceremony and ritual on auspicious days, such as Wesak Day, Seasonal Solistices & Equinoxes, Earth Day, New Moon & Full Moon provide an auspicious purpose, or as Don says, "a great excuse to gong for humanity!"

--------------------------

Grand-Gongmaster Don Conreaux:

The age we are now in is called the ascending Dwapara Yuga.

The darkest ages were in the age of Pisces - where we focused on survival and war. We are coming out of that and we are in the early stages of the Ascending Dwapara Yuga. The Gongs were discovered in the early Bronze Age - during the descending Dwapara Yuga - which then led down to the Kali Yuga. However, now we are ascending (in the New Dwapara Yuga)slowly moving towards the Silver and Golden Age.

As homo-sapiens transvolute into the destined homo luminous spiritualis, this is facilitated by the emergence of a Golden Gong Age through planet-wide mass gatherings that invoke Peace on Earth and Goodwill amongst all Humankind.

The transvolution from the 200-300,000 year old territorial/warring human: homo sapiens, into the homo luminous spiritualis creates a shift for the human, from a mere parasite on this planet to a world server.

It is becoming more and more possible as more and more people join together to the point where critical mass is met.

Every person is in "an age" - and chooses to be in a specific "age." The choice of the homo luminous spiritualis is to join into service for World Peace.

On May 7, 2020, Don Conreaux invited all Gong players to play for 45 minutes during the Full Moon of their timezone.

The seed intention: that each of 195 countries on earth offer a Shruti song or Affirmation to humanity for that day.

Don Conreaux:

"When we offer those shrutis - songs coming from that one heart that is located within each heart, and also behind everything we do with our hearts - there is the thought - Why not now? Every day is a good day to plant those seeds. The potential and possibility is the beauty of what we as one heart are going do, this time and every time going forth until and through 2025."

2034 is the 9 year cycle completion post-2025.

A Shruti is a Seed Thought often used sung as bookends. The Shruti at the beginning reveals the intention for the event - facilitating all gathered to move energetically into an integrated mental/emotional/spiritual space. the end shruti is a potent take away.

Every time we, the gong players, gather in functional harmony, rather than being passive - we build the wave of transvolution - so that the big initiation set for 2025 is already happening before we even get there.



THE GONG CARAVAN OF PEACE

Gongmuse Mojca Morya Malek β€Ž teamed up with Grand-Gongmaster Don Conreaux traveling and sharing the wisdom of Sacred Healing Rites...

In 2015, the Gong Caravan of Peace was a Gong Master Training "on the road", focused of Sacred Healing Rites consisting of 33 people from 15 countries of the world joined to travel through Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina.

*10 concerts and sacred sound rites on different venues (at Water Harp in Zadar - Croatia, at Bosnia Pyramids, at UNESCO heritage old bridge in Mostar, Bosnia, at main squares of old city of Sarajevo, Bosnia and in Ljubljana, Slovenia, at Floating Castle festival in Slovenia... ) which were visited with hundreds of people "we were living together as One, in functional harmony... and have fun!"


Lesson Summary

With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns in many countries, gong players have had to adapt to the new reality. One response has been the organization of Global Gong Pujas, where gong players from around the world come together to gong simultaneously, even if physically distant. These events are often tied to specific dates or celestial occurrences, like equinoxes, solstices, new moons, and full moons.

One such event, the Global Gong Puja on April 4, 2020, saw hundreds of gong players in 33+ countries live-streaming their Gong Sound Healing Sessions on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube. The intention was to create a wave of healing vibrations across the globe, providing support to the global gong community and beyond.

The Global Gong Puja on April 4th, 2020, was an inclusive event allowing all Gong players and Sound Healing Practitioners to participate, playing at a designated time in their timezone for at least 45 minutes. Participants who couldn't stream online were encouraged to join through telepathic resonance.

More events like the Global Gong Puja are planned, with the next date set for Full Moon May 7, 2020, on Wesak Day. This day, falling on the full moon in Taurus, is considered auspicious for gonging, aligning with traditions that involve spiritual energies and ceremonies.

Grand-Gongmaster Don Conreaux leads these gatherings, emphasizing the importance of coming together for world peace and spiritual evolution. Gong players joining in these events are seen as contributing to a shift towards a more peaceful and harmonious world.

The Gong Caravan of Peace, initiated by Gongmuse Mojca Morya Malek and Grand-Gongmaster Don Conreaux, is another example of spreading the wisdom of Sacred Healing Rites through gong playing. The caravan has traveled to various locations, conducting concerts and sound healing sessions with the aim of fostering unity and harmony.

  • Global Gong Pujas have emerged as a response to the Covid-19 lockdowns, allowing gong players worldwide to gong together virtually.
  • The Global Gong Puja on April 4, 2020, witnessed participation from numerous countries, spreading healing vibrations across the globe.
  • Future events like the one scheduled for Full Moon May 7, 2020, on Wesak Day, continue to bring gong players together for collective healing and spiritual alignment.
  • Grand-Gongmaster Don Conreaux plays a key role in organizing these gatherings, emphasizing their significance in promoting world peace and spiritual evolution.
  • The Gong Caravan of Peace, led by Gongmuse Mojca Morya Malek and Don Conreaux, travels to different locations to share the wisdom of Sacred Healing Rites through gong music and sound healing sessions.
