"Only the truth is lasting!"

A reference book for Bruno Groening and the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends

When Bruno Groening came to the fore in Herford in 1949, his appearance provoked a public discussion. Was he a "charlatan" or a "miracle healer", a divinely inspired healer or a swindler and deceiver? Does he have real ability or is he a sham?

The controversy that began back then is still going on. If it was previously primarily representatives of the medical profession, today it is mainly the "sect experts" of the major churches who attempt to put the stamp of "sect" on the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends and disparage its current activities.

Book Cover

Here is a book, however, which provides a collection of positive voices for Bruno Groening and the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends, including international press reports from back then and today, excerpts from books and brochures, as well as individual statements, testimonials and tributes from the world over. Finally, there are early letters of petition from doctors in 1949 and healing reports, contemporary remarks from members of the medical profession and current success reports.

In the long run, the truth always wins out. This book is intended to be a small contribution toward this end and to help the undecided make a decision.

Statements on Bruno Groening:

"Groening is one of a kind that doesn't fit into any psychotherapeutic or psychological school. I think he was a deeply religious person - a modest, credible, good-natured, helpful man".
Helmut Kindler, Publisher

"I didn't consider him a charlatan . . . for me it was undeniable that forces emanated from him that caused healing in people ".
Dr. Hermann Kunst
Bishop and from 1949 to 1977 Representative of the Council of Protestant Churches in the Federal Republic of Germany

"I know him as a man with good healing abilities and sincere intentions. Therefore one has no professional qualms about allowing him to confirm his abilities for the benefit of many people that he can really help".
Wilhelm Beyer, M.D., in an expert opinion

That my teachings are sensible and serve a good purpose is proven by the fact that many reached the right path through them. This is only to the good of the state and causes it no harm, but rather brings only benefits.

Statements on the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends

"Success Reports are scientifically documented through the use of the findings of examinations carried out by independent doctors. In this way an archive has been built up over many years which proves that organic disease can be healed spiritually".
Health Network, United Kingdom, January 2000

"It is an enormously great and important undertaking. Therefore I am very impressed with what the Medical Scientific Group is doing".
Carl Simonton, M. D.

"I am a painter, and in the year 1993 I contracted a paint allergy so severe that the doctors said I should never again come into contact with paint. In 1994 I learned through a newspaper article of the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends and since then am a member. Six months later I had the feeling that I could paint again. Since then I have been able to work again with all the previously forbidden paints".

Healing from Sudeck‘s atrophy of the right foot

Success Report of Velitschka Georgieva Schakanska, 45, Bulgaria

Actually, everything should have been all right after a good three weeks in a plaster cast and the subsequent physical therapy.

I had broken my right foot in October, 2004. Everything pointed toward a good healing process. However, in January, 2005 I suddenly got very severe pain in the same foot.

The doctors told me it was Sudeck's atrophy. In spite of the pain medication and additional physical therapy, continual pain restricted my movement considerably.

Then, when at the end of May I also had pain in my knee, I was only able to walk about 100 yards before the pain in my foot and knee became so unbearable that I had to stop and wait until the pain eased up.

Velitschka Georgieva Schakanska – before her spontaneous healing at a lecture . . .

Since I kept having to stop, even the short distance to the physical therapy seemed like an eternity to me. Even at home I avoided moving about whenever possible.

Because of the swelling of my foot and the pain I had to tie my shoes very loosely.

On June 8, 2005, I learned through a magazine article of a lecture on spiritual help and healing through the teaching of Bruno Groening. I attended despite very severe pain.

With great effort I struggled down the three steps into the room. Some kind people I didn't know immediately brought me a chair when they noticed how difficult it was for me to walk.
To my astonishment the pain decreased during the lecture. I could hardly believe it. When I went home I had absolutely no more pain at all!

. . . and after her healing, pain-free and relieved

. . . and after her healing, pain-free and relieved

I was pain-free the next day, too. I didn't have to take any painkillers the whole day long. Out of pure joy I did more walking than I had done the entire previous week.

On June 9, 2005, I went to another lecture. The pain came back again, but only for a short time. When the lecture was over this pain, too, had disappeared. I was able to tie the shoe on my right foot normally again.

The shoe fit very loosely, which hadn't been the case for nine months.

I no longer had a swollen foot, nor pain, and since then I have been able to walk entirely normally again.

Medical commentary

The Sudeck's atrophy resulting from a broken bone in the right foot had existed for about nine months, but despite treatment had continually worsened. That it disappeared completely and permanently during and after the lecture visits cannot be medically explained and is not in accord with the expected course of the disease. Because of the direct chronological relationship there is no doubt that it was a spiritual healing.

 

Success Report work in Bulgaria

Ursula Deckhut took over the coordination of the success report work for Bulgaria in the summer of 2006. She describes the experiences she has had since then.

Schoolings in success report work and other task areas were planned for both before and after the Autumn Conference on November 25-26 in Sofia. What especially moved me was the readiness of the friends to take over a task.

No one said "I don't have any time," or "I can't do that". They said joyfully, "Yes, I want to help". This shows that the friends there have really understood the great value of each individual healing.

It is so wonderful when you know the friends personally, not only from the list. A kind of inner connection occurs that can't be replaced. You sense that a relationship has been established with every telephone conversation and every Internet conference that takes place every six weeks--and to which I always look forward.

It is especially valuable for us that we are able to count on the collaboration of several doctors in Bulgaria.

Healing from night blindness

Success report of Ulrike Kovacs-Scheutz, 28, Austria

I noticed it when I was about 12 years old. I was going home after a "Krampus parade" with my mother and my sister. The moon shone very brightly, but nevertheless I couldn't see anything. Even though I knew the way inside out I proceeded very carefully with outstretched hands in order to be able to feel my way along.

When I got to the garden gate I could only estimate where the gate was and walked directly into the fence. My mother immediately said, "You're night blind like your father." When I grew up I got a driver's license like everyone else. However, I had to drive very carefully because I could only see what was directly in the beam of the headlights. Outside of that field I couldn't recognize anything - no pedestrians, cyclists, animals or road signs, for example.

I also didn't know whether a curve was coming or the road went on straight ahead. Therefore I only drove at night in emergency situations. I simply lived with it. I thought, "I can't do anything about it anyway!"

A deer was standing at the side . . .

And then at 24 years of age I came to the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends. On March 15 of the following year I attended a community hour. As usual at the end of the meeting our community leader asked us what we had perceived in our bodies. I remembered having felt, among other things, pain in my head. I even had tears in my eyes for a short time. After the community hour was over I felt a severe stabbing pain in both eyes at the same time. But I didn't think anything of it.

While driving home it occurred to me that I could see everything - not only the light from the car in front of me on the street. No, I really saw everything, including the trees and bushes at the edge of the road, and the funny thing was that on this of all days there was a young deer standing at the side where I previously wouldn't have been able to see it.

On that night I was able to see it and drive slowly by without it springing onto the road. At that moment I had a wonderful feeling of happiness. One kilometer further on there was an entire deer family standing in the road and I was able to see it, too, in time and drive slowly by. Since then the night blindness is gone. I can recognize everything clearly again, especially the curves. There are no longer any driving restrictions; I can drive whenever I want and with a clear conscience because I can react in time to all possible dangers. This healing has increased my quality of life enormously.

Medical commentary

Ms. Kovacs-Scheutz had a hereditary nyctalopia (night blindness). Her father, too, suffered from the same disease. Night blindness is a functional disturbance of certain sensory cells in the retina of the eye. The spontaneous healing after 15 years is medically inexplicable and has to be called a miracle. I can only attribute the healing the effect of the Heilstrom*.

 

The best and greatest gift in this earthly life is not wealth, not money, but rather health, which is worth more than any earthly possession.

I never give it as the person wants it because I give it as I receive it - and not from people. I can and should and must also emphasize or also make it clear as I receive it myself from God. I cannot change anything and do not change anything!

Naturally people are always greatly astonished, saying, "How is all that possible? "

Lectures in Israel and Palestine

It was already in the year 2000 that the foundation was laid for the establishment of communities in Israel and Palestine through information lectures held by a German doctor from the Medical Scientific Group. Since that time these countries rich in culture and religion have opened their doors to spiritual healing through to the teaching of Bruno Groening. Further lectures followed in which people attending were healed. Communities were set up. Today Israel, too, has a Medical Scientific Group led by an Israeli doctor who, along with his colleagues, verifies and comments on healings that occur in the country.

Interest is growing

Interest in the teaching of Bruno Groening is growing everywhere in the country. This led to the planning of further lectures in May 2007. This time the emphasis was on the southern part of the region - in Beer Sheba, Israel, the city in the Negev desert, and in Ascalon, a seaside city near Gaza.

Lecture in Ramallah: Lt, the Palestine Mentor, Nermin Sharkawi of Berlin

All of the Jewish people present at the lecture announced their interest in a community in their city. They would like to learn how to regularly absorb the divine healing energy that Bruno Groening called the "Heilstrom" and to apply the teaching of Bruno Groening in their lives.

New Communities in Palestine

Although the high wall surrounding Palestine is anything but inviting, nothing could stop a considerable number of the Moslem Arabs from attending the information lectures offered in Bethlehem and Ramallah, the Capital. Arabic newspapers and radio stations had lent their support by publicizing the lectures. Here, too, the people felt the Heilstrom*, which some of those attending perceived as a feeling of calm and peace. Here, too, communities arose which are now led by Muslim men and women in the name of Bruno Groening. (msk)

At the end of the lecture trip to the homeland of her ancestors, the IZ spoke with the Palestinian Nermin Sharkawi, who lives in Germany. She has taken over the mentorship of the communities in Palestine.

IZ: What does it mean to you as a Palestinian to bring the teaching of Bruno Groening to your countrymen?

Nermin Sharkawi: For me it is a work of peace. That is, on the one hand to bring a spiritual path and peace on a spiritual level to the country. This peace is primarily related to healing and help that occur in the life of every person and that of his relatives, as well. First of all, it is important that the individual person can accept this path of peace by personally receiving help and healing. Then the rest occurs by itself. The teaching and other things we bring to the country have nothing to do with politics. It provides a spiritual path for people. The individual is the focal point along with his or her personal destiny. This path and the teaching of Bruno Groening stand above politics and religion. It is purely a matter of the people here, so that they receive what they were no longer able to receive in any other way

IZ: What led the people to attend the lectures?

Nermin Sharkawi: Some people came seeking healing for themselves, others because they are interested in spiritual things. Among them were doctors and university graduates interested in Bruno Groening's spiritual message, as well as simple ordinary people. Conspicuous were the many Muslim women, some even with their children. They have a strong feeling for and a great openness toward the spiritual. In my many conversations with them, I have sensed a deep gratitude for what we have brought them.

"It's all gone!"

Sent home by the doctors to die - healed by Bruno Groening. Nikolaus Petersen tells of his father's healing

In the mid-fifties Bruno Groening had founded communities in many German cities. After the public tumult that had arisen around him in 1949-50 and after the continual problems with the Healing Practitioners' Law, he had chosen this path in order to be able to work in an orderly fashion. The friends in the communities met together more or less regularly - usually every three weeks - for so-called "community hours" to concern themselves with the teaching and work of Bruno Groening. Bruno Groening himself went to each community several times a year to hold lectures.

Bruno Groening with Friends in Schleswig

Bruno Groening with Friends in Schleswig

Nikolaus Petersen visited three such community hours in Ostenfeld near Husum with his father. His father was healed, even though Bruno Groening was not there in person.

Sent home to die

"My father became seriously ill, became jaundiced and was taken to the hospital. He was operated on there and it was determined that he was full of cancer from head to toe. Dr. Timmermann had removed my father's gall bladder and bile duct. About a week later he was sent home and turned over to his family doctor. Neither of the doctors gave us any hope. He came home to die.

"The whole room started to tremble"

Then we learned of Bruno Groening, the "miracle doctor". We went to Mrs. Thomson in Ostenfeld near Husum. Mr. Groening did a remote healing. He himself wasn't present. My father walked with two canes, and when we arrived in Ostenfeld we entered a restaurant where over 30 people were already sitting. We were all given a ball. There was only a picture of Bruno Groening in the room. The whole room started to tremble. It went on for about half an hour. A man who was able to walk only with two canes said afterward to his wife, "Oh mother, I can now walk without the canes!" Then, liberated, he went home.

"He improved week by week"

We were there three times. I knew that it was not charlatanism, and my father thought that he was feeling better. He was previously in very bad condition and, although almost six feet tall, weighed only about 110 pounds. He had no appetite, but after that he started to eat. He had been only skin and bones before, but now that he believed he was healed he improved week by week. He gained weight, could walk without canes and started to ride his bicycle again.

The doctor couldn't believe it

One day I saw Dr. Timmermann in a department store in Schleswig and spoke to him. He asked me how long my father had gone on living, but I was able to tell him that he was still living, whereupon the doctor said, ‘then I am mixing up the fathers, because he didn't have a chance'. But I was able to reply that that was already the case with my father. We then went to Dr. Timmermann again for an examination, whereupon he said, "Mr. Petersen, there is nothing more there - it's all gone!" My father was able to live another nine years and then died from the flu".(the)
