The Circle of Friends - A Review
Bruno Groening - a simple man with exceptional abilities
Bruno Groening was born on the 3lst May 1906, the fourth of seven children in
Danzig-Oliva. As a small boy he was already able to have a healing influence
on sick people and animals.
Because of the consequences of the First World War he was able to attend
primary school only until the 5th year. Bruno Groening learnt the trade of a
carpenter; he worked in various other professions, was conscripted into the
army during the Second World War and was a prisoner of war. In 1949 he became
known to the public through the healing of a boy in Herford, Germany, who had
been given up by the doctors. Worldwide attention was aroused by the
mass-healings at Traberhof near Rosenheim, outside Munich, Germany.
Nevertheless Bruno Groening was banned from healing and was no longer allowed
to work publicly. On January the 26th, 1959 the earthly life of Bruno Groening
ended in Paris.
The teachings of Bruno Groening - spiritual help and healing
Bruno Groening did not study or develop his teachings; they were given to him
spiritually. He made available his teachings in talks, in which he spoke
without notes or a concept to his listeners, it was his way of "providing
knowledge". The truth of his teachings is confirmed by the good results
achieved when people follow his teachings.
When Bruno Groening spoke about faith he always pointed out the influence of
spiritual forces upon human beings. This influence is far more powerful than
is generally assumed. Thoughts are an important aspect of these forces.
Science also increasingly recognises the significance of the spiritual
correlations of life.
Spiritual assistance and healing through the teachings of Bruno Groening
offers everybody the possibility to be free from sickness, worries and
hardship. To what extent a person seeking help follows these teachings is
naturally his own decision.
Bruno Groening said: "God sends and man receives the healing force."
When Bruno Groening spoke about faith, biblical scenes frequently occurred:
the blind were able to see again and the lame to walk. This is confirmed by a
great number of publications and eyewitness reports.
And these "miracles" continue: Today still the "healing stream" to which Bruno
Groening referred is effective. Thousands of healing-reports speak for
themselves. These healing-reports based upon medical investigations of
independent doctors have, for the greater part, already been checked and
documented by the doctors of the MWF (Medical Scientific Group of the Bruno
Groening Circle of Friends) and they provide convincing testimony.
"Everyone has to die, so do I, but I will not be dead. And when someone calls
me, I will come and continue to help, if it is God’s will" , prophesied Bruno
Groening.
The teachings of Bruno Groening - the positive effect convinces
Bruno Groening never treated anyone, and therefore did not heal them in the
medical sense. He never wanted details about illnesses from those seeking help
either. On the contrary: he refused to listen to any talk about an illness,
not even its name. His work was restricted to his talks on faith in which he
appealed to those seeking help to return to God. He did not promise healing.
Some of his talks have been preserved on tapes and others were written down,
by members of the audience.
As incredible as it sounds: by listening and paying attention to his words, to
his teachings, people, animals and plants were healed and restored to health.
This is still the case today.
In addition to help and healing, a positive attitude to life in general and
the way it is lived are also to be observed. This is confirmed by many people
who speak about having found their way to a positive development of
personality.
Bruno Groening said: "I give you the rules of the game of life so that you can
master life!"
The teachings of Bruno Groening - a path to God
Bruno Groening said: "My work and activity merely serves to lead all people of
this earth onto the right path again, onto the Divine path."
He saw his task as opening the door for man towards Divine understanding and
experience, thereby guiding him back to trust in God; this was the main topic
of his talks. He saw himself as a pointer, a mediator of Divine energy.
The far reaching effect of such trust in God as the primary source of all
positive occurrences is ancient. It is to be found in many writings.
Bruno Groening comment on this was: "I am not telling you anything new, I am
merely telling you something that you no longer know today."
This explains why Bruno Groening never wanted to be thanked. "Don’t thank me,
thank God, He has done it". The acceptance of the teachings frequently leads
to regained or intensified religiousness.
The teachings of Bruno Groening and science
What was known in all the old, advanced civilisations and is known in Asia
still today, is only now being re-discovered by modern science. Streams or
currents of higher energies steer and determine our life. Cell-radiation was
discovered in 1922 by the Russian Professor Gurwitsch, and the Academy of
Sciences in Novosibirsk succeeded in establishing that this biological
radiation is the vital bearer of information to all cells in every living
organism. In the meantime these discoveries have been confirmed and extended.
The leading work in this field is that of Professor Popp at the University of
Kaiserslautern who, with very sensitive instruments, was able to detect that
cell-radiation is a coherent, in other words, highly consistent,
electro-magnetic radiation on a wavelength of ultraviolet light. This opened
up completely new knowledge and understanding of life itself.
Bruno Groening said: "As I see it, contemporary science should find my life
very interesting, if only because my work inspires research for an assignment
of tomorrow."
With this technical knowledge comes the understanding that healings can be
triggered by subtle material streams of energy which, according to the
teachings of Bruno Groening, can be felt as a "healing stream" in the body.
Bruno Groening had very precise knowledge about the laws of these energies and
he promulgated them in his simple teachings for the well-being of mankind.
The Circle of Friends - friends on the same path
The Circle of Friends was already active during Bruno Groening’s lifetime.
When it became apparent that help and healings were continuing even after his
death, Grete Häusler (1922 - 2007) re-established the Bruno Groening Circle of
Friends in 1979 so that the teachings, and the prerequisites they necessitated
in order to facilitate help and healing, could be more widely disseminated.
The designation Circle of Friends is appropriate, because it refers to an
informal gathering of people who are guided by the ideals they have discovered
and adopted, and who cultivate and maintain a loving, friendly contact with
one other. There are no legal or financial obligations or ties. Anybody can
walk away from the group whenever he feels like it.
The Circle of Friends passes on the teachings of Bruno Groening
The teachings are given in the regular local community-meetings (as a rule
every 3rd week) where there are also talks and an exchange of experiences.
Prior to someone seeking help or simply being interested in attending a
community or group meeting, he is invited to an introductory talk in order to
learn the basic essentials of the teachings of Bruno Groening. Several times a
year national conferences take place. These meetings are a forum for the
exchange of experiences and reports from friends who have regained their
health either totally or partially. In additional there is group absorption of
the healing stream.
These activities are supported by free publications and CDs regularly sent to
all friends. In addition, there are a large number of books, CDs, DVDs, etc.,
on the teaching of Bruno Groening available from a Publisher, as well as film
production.
The Circle of Friends: people of all nations, religions and levels of society
The Circle of Friends is not affiliated to any religious persuasion or any
creed.
Bruno Groening said: "In the Circle of Friends everyone must absorb the power
of belief. I do not wish to found a new religion. Everyone must remain in his
Church or religious community and what he hears there he must also believe and
act upon. I have come for all people, no matter of which religion, no matter
of which nation. This is why the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends is no sect."
Bruno Groening: "All people are worth helping."
The Circle of Friends - Inviolability of free will
Bruno Groening in particular emphasised the inviolability of free will of
every human being: "I am allowed to help a person find the way to what is
good, but I may neither relieve him of the responsibility of making a decision
about it nor am I allowed to force him towards it. Everyone has to find his
own way for himself."
Everyone should make his own decision and be responsible for himself and his
own life. In the BGF there is no dogma, and uniform behaviour is neither
instructed nor is it requested.
Children and young people in the Circle of Friends
In the Circle of Friends there are community hours for children and young
people. These take place - as with adults - at intervals of three weeks.
Participation at these meetings is also voluntary. Here too the focal point is
the teachings of Bruno Groening, which are suitably adapted for either group,
and are linked to activities like games, dancing, hiking, singing and music.
The Circle of Friends - Respect for the Private Sphere
In the Circle of Friends no directions whatsoever are given for a private
life-style. Every friend decides independently how he wishes to organise his
private environment. Many friends talk about the fact that they are now much
better able to meet the requirements of daily life and face their own
responsibilities - this not least because of a strengthening of physical and
spiritual energy. Frequently friends speak of a regained self confidence or an
inner harmony.
The Circle of Friends - no political objectives
The Circle of Friends has no political ambitions and does not suggest any
particular direction to its members. The teachings of Bruno Groening are
completely devoid of any ideological influences.
It is composed of all social levels and professions. Among them are doctors,
teachers, housewives, lawyers, artisans etc. All age groups are represented
and of course also various political persuasions.
Money in the Circle of Friends
Bruno Groening never asked for money. This is still the case in today’s Circle
of Friends. Without exception, all friends work for the Circle of Friends
without compensation. That holds true for everyone, even for Dieter Häusler,
Leader of the Circle of Friends, and for all friends in all areas of work.
Everybody is free to stop working whenever he wishes to do so. All expenses
that occur in the Circles are met by voluntary donations.
No illness is incurable
Bruno Groening confirmed the statement of the renowned doctor Paracelsus that
indeed all illnesses, but not all people, can be cured. For the ”healing
stream” with its Divine nature there are no limits, and no incurable
illnesses; this applies even to organic, chronic and degenerative diseases.
In his teachings Bruno Groening gave simple and clear rules as to how a
healing may be attained and kept. However the healing process is not always
the same and in the case of identical illnesses may be totally different. This
is why promises of healings are not possible and are not given in the Circle
of Friends.
The Medical Scientific Group (MWF)
Since 1992 the Medical Scientific Group in the Circle of Friends, which is an
international association of several thousand professionals in the healing
field (professors, doctors, therapists, non-medical healing practitioners,
nursing sisters etc) have made it their task to document the spiritual help
and healings that have occurred through the teachings of Bruno Groening.
At conferences and through special publications, doctors and others in the
healing profession are informed about the teachings, the healings of people,
animals and plants that have occurred and the assistance and protection
experienced in daily life.
The founder of the MWF is Matthias Kamp, M.D. (Recommended reading: Matthias
Kamp's "Bruno Groening - Revolution in Medicine", available from Grete Häusler
GmbH-Publications.
Spiritual healing through the teachings of Bruno Groening are medically
verifiable - doctors and others in the healing profession report
The large number of registered healings of all kinds and the study of the
pattern of recoveries are unequivocal evidence for the experts that many sick
people who, up to now have had no chance of recovery, can be healed by this
method.
Doctors and non-medical healing practitioners of the MWF give international
talks to inform members of the medical profession, as well non-professionals
about their experiences with the teachings and draw the attention of their
audience to their as yet unexplored further potential.
