The Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends. A review.

<body> <p align="left">The Circle of Friends - A Review<br> Bruno Gröning - a simple man with exceptional abilities<br> Bruno Gröning was born on the 3lst May l906, 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. <br> <br> Because of the consequences of the First World War he was able to attend primary school only until the 5th year. Bruno Gröning 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 l949 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 Gröning was banned from healing and was no longer allowed to work publicly. On January the 26th, l959 the earthly life of Bruno Gröning ended in Paris. <br> <br> The teachings of Bruno Gröning - spiritual help and healing <br> Bruno Gröning 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. <br> <br> When Bruno Gröning 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. <br> <br> Spiritual assistance and healing through the teachings of Bruno Gröning 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. <br> <br> Bruno Gröning said: "God sends and man receives the healing force."<br> <br> When Bruno Gröning 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.<br> <br> And these "miracles" continue: Today still the "healing stream" to which Bruno Gröning 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-Science Group of the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends) and they provide convincing testimony. <br> <br> "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 Gröning.<br> <br> The teachings of Bruno Gröning - the positive effect convinces <br> Bruno Gröning 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> Bruno Gröning said: "I give you the rules of the game of life so that you can master life!"<br> <br> The teachings of Bruno Gröning - a path to God <br> Bruno Gröning said: "My work and activity merely serves to lead all people of this earth onto the right path again, onto the Divine path." <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> Bruno Gröning comment on this was: "I am not telling you anything new, I am merely telling you something that you no longer know today."<br> <br> This explains why Bruno Gröning 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. <br> <br> The teachings of Bruno Gröning and science <br> 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. <br> <br> Bruno Gröning 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."<br> <br> 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 Gröning, can be felt as a "healing stream" in the body. Bruno Gröning had very precise knowledge about the laws of these energies and he promulgated them in his simple teachings for the well-being of mankind. <br> <br> The Circle of Friends - friends on the same path <br> The Circle of Friends was already active during Bruno Gröning’s lifetime. When it became apparent that help and healings were continuing even after his death, Grete Häusler re-established the Bruno Gröning 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> The Circle of Friends passes on the teachings of Bruno Gröning <br> 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 Gröning. 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. <br> <br> These activities are furthered by regular printed matter and cassettes that are provided free of charge to all friends. In addition there are a great number of books, and sound- and video-cassettes on the teachings of Bruno Gröning which are produced by the organisation’s own publishing and film production companies.<br> <br> The Circle of Friends: people of all nations, religions and levels of society <br> The Circle of Friends is not affiliated to any religious persuasion or any creed.<br> <br> Bruno Gröning 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 Gröning Circle of Friends is no sect."<br> <br> Bruno Gröning: "All people are worth helping."<br> <br> The Circle of Friends - Inviolability of free will <br> Bruno Gröning 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."<br> <br> 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. <br> <br> Children and young people in the Circle of Friends <br> 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 Gröning, which are suitably adapted for either group, and are linked to activities like games, dancing, hiking, singing and music. <br> <br> The Circle of Friends - Respect for the Private Sphere <br> 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. <br> <br> The Circle of Friends - no political objectives<br> The Circle of Friends has no political ambitions and does not suggest any particular direction to its members. The teachings of Bruno Gröning are completely devoid of any ideological influences. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> Money in the Circle of Friends <br> Bruno Gröning never asked for money. This is still the case in today’s Circle of Friends. Everybody who works for the Circles - and this includes Grete Häusler who heads the organisation - does so on a voluntary basis. Everybody is free to stop working whenever he wishes to do so. <br> <br> All expenses that occur in the Circles are met by voluntary donations.<br> <br> The Circle of Friends - solution to drug addiction <br> Since permanent recoveries of hopeless cases of drug addiction have occurred, some special regional communities have been initiated for drug addicts. In these circles too, recoveries keep occurring <br> <br> No illness is incurable <br> Bruno Gröning 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. <br> <br> In his teachings Bruno Gröning 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. <br> <br> The Medical-Science Group (MWF) <br> Since l992 the Medical-Science 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 Gröning. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> The Director of the MWF is the physician Matthias Kamp. (Recommended reading: Matthias Kamp's "Bruno Gröning - Revolution in Medicine", available from Grete Häusler GmbH-Publications.<br> <br> Spiritual healing through the teachings of Bruno Gröning are medically verifiable - doctors and others in the healing profession report <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> </p> </body>
