OM Protokoll 13th of December 2017
Welcome
dear friends to our OM tonight.
It’s Wednesday, the 13 of December
and I am happy to meet you here all again. Thank you for switching on again for
I know we had already wonderful sessions with Tineke yesterday and Meabh’s on
Monday. So I will make it short today and not so long as usual, and that we go
more into contemplation.
Winter
has arrived in Germany and we have masses of snow falling down, but it is
melting away as quickly as it comes and new snow is falling. On Sunday we had a
real break in of winter in an extremely way, it was a special day because we
had put on our schedule the Christmas Celebration in a community hour with the
friends. This is mostly the day, when really all friends are coming together
and tuning in for this season on Christmas time and after the session sitting
together with tea and cookies and talking comfortable together. For us it’s a
tradition to do so and I always look forward to decorate the room with firs and
Christmas stuffs – sometimes we even set up a Christmas tree and I always need
hours to get it ready.
So I want
to tell you now, what we have experienced on last Sunday the 10 of
December 2017:
As usual we
wanted to start our session at 5 pm in the afternoon on a Sunday, but at 2 pm
it started to snow without stopping for a long time. The sky was full of snow,
very grey and no sun was seen nor a blue hole in the clouds. Nothing, and it
snowed and snowed and snowed…Because
here in our region in Germany (quiet in the middle) we had had no hard winters
during the last years and nobody was really prepared of this…so many people
started to think: how can I go to the community hour? It is dangerous driving a
car and as we heard in the radio unfortunately no bus, no train was going
anymore – and I will be honest as well, Peter and I we got the same way
thoughts: Who will come to the community hour? Why doing the stress by decorating
everything and sitting finally in an empty room? But as Bruno Gröning friends such
thoughts are a NO GO – so Peter looked at me and I looked at him, and we
thought together only one thought: NO WAY, of course we will doing the session,
even when we are both sitting alone there and tuning in. We remembered at our sessions in Australia,
when at one afternoon we had announced a Bruno Gröning community hour in a
newspaper, starting from the beginning. And we had leased a big hall that
evening. It was raining cats and dogs outside and we didn’t have known, that
Aussies are not leaving house and home when the weathers are strange. So we
thought the same: WHO WILL COME? Nobody?
NO WAY,
there have come 2 wonderful human beings – just two - one couple, Ellie and
Terry, and they absorbed the teaching of Bruno and the healing current, and Ellie
received a wonderful healing that night from 35 years of insomnia, and a chain
reaction was going out from that fateful night. Terry got many healings and
today they are leading a wonderful community in Illawara and many helps and
healings are happening there. That’s the
calculation of God, as Bruno once said: from one seed the grain is growing,
bringing 30 new seeds, and so on and on…a good harvest will be done after.
Those
thoughts were going through our minds when we waited to start with the session
last Sunday. We just went home for preparing the cookies and the tea, for our
community room is not far from our place, just 300 meters down the street. We
had decorated everything well, have cooked the tea and filled it into thermos
bottles and I went back into the living room still wondering if all this work
wouldn’t be for nothing.
Suddenly I
stopped for a moment – and I saw in our living room a golden light glowing as
if the sun would shine into the room. But outside it was still grey and
snowing….no sun at all! It was really not describable, but it was like a
feeling of wonderful warm sunbeams coming to me and as if someone said to me:
You will be astonished…go and do the session…
And we did.
And it was a wonderful session with huge golden waves of divine current. 11
friends have come and had pushed themselves through the snow and it was one of
the best sessions we ever had - we felt really much much love. The love of God,
and this is not comprehensive by the mind, but you can feel it: This golden
vibration, which is warm and comfortable, smoothing and calming and gives you
divine comforts. It was DIVINE!!! This is Christmas, dear friends, that is the
Christmas force, the power when Christ is near. I am still
filled with this Divine Light and I want to share it with you, my dear friends.
Here you see one of those pictures, Bruno Gröning signed during his Christmas
Celebrations and delivered it to the friends. And
another picture he gave as Christmas gifts to the friends.
Let us hear
now a wonderful, just a short song before we start with our presentation. Its
from the famous Czech movie: Three nuts for Cinderella and here in Germany it
is a must watch of this fairytale before Christmas or during Christmastime.
Just 2 minutes of my favourite song and the splendid ride on a white horse
through the snow. Enjoy….
So what’s
about Christmas? As you know the little Jesus child was almost displaced by a
big man with a red cloth and a long white beard: Santa Claus. But who is that
man? Is it a historical person? Why and how did he become a symbol of
materialism and consuming? So let us see on a little research I have made about
this person. And maybe many of you know, that good old Santa was a real person
in fact. But he was quite more different as this Coca Cola Man, where he later
got his red coat. And he doesn’t live at the North Pole but he lived appr. 200
years after the birth of Christ in Turkey.
Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus)
Yes, dear
friends, as you see, he was a great wonderworker as well as Bruno Gröning. And
it was certainly not meant by him so that his work in those days should
degenerate into a single call for lavish consumption. He has become the
"Santa Claus" who has largely supplanted the Christ child. I do not
think that was in the sense of Saint Nicholas of Myra.
The true
story of Santa Claus begins
with Nicholas, who
was born during
the third
century in the
village of Patara.
At the time the
area was Greek
and is now on the
southern coast of Turkey. His wealthy
parents, who raised
him to be a devout
Christian, died in an epidemic
while Nicholas was still young.
Obeying Jesus' words
to "sell
what you own and give
the money
to the poor,"
Nicholas used his whole
inheritance to assist
the needy,
the sick, and
the suffering.
He dedicated his life
to serving
God and was made
Bishop of Myra.
He died December 6, AD 343 in Myra and was buried in his cathedral church, where a unique relic called Manna formed in his grave. This liquid substance, said to have healing powers, fostered the growth of devotion to Nicholas. The anniversary of his death became a day of celebration, St. Nicholas Day, December 6th .
The Gift of
DowriesOne story
tells of a poor
man with three
daughters. In those
days a young
woman's father
had to offer
prospective husbands
something of value—a
dowry. The larger the
dowry, the better
the chance
that a young
woman would
find a good husband.
Without a dowry,
a woman was unlikely
to marry.
This poor man's daughters,
without dowries,
were therefore
destined to be sold
into slavery
or protitution.
Mysteriously,
on three different occasions,
a bag of gold
appeared in their
home-providing
the needed
dowries.
The bags
of gold,
tossed through
an open window, are said
to have
landed in stockings
or shoes
left before
the fire
to dry. This led
to the custom
of children
hanging stockings
or putting
out shoes, eagerly
awaiting gifts
from Saint Nicholas. Sometimes
the story
is told
with gold
balls instead
of bags
of gold.
That is why three
gold balls,
sometimes represented
as oranges, are
one of the symbols
for St. Nicholas. And
so St. Nicholas is a gift-giver.
The Calmed
Seastorm
Several stories
tell of Nicholas and
the sea. When
he was young, Nicholas sought
the holy
by making
a pilgrimage
to the Holy Land. There
as he walked
where Jesus walked,
he sought to more
deeply experience
Jesus' life, passion,
and resurrection.
Returning by sea, a mighty
storm threatened
to wreck
the ship.
Nicholas calmly prayed.
The terrified sailors
were amazed
when the wind and
waves suddenly
calmed, sparing
them all. And
so St. Nicholas is the patron
of sailors
and voyagers.
The Protector of all trouble and need
Other stories
tell of Nicholas saving
his people
from famine
sparing the lives
of those
innocently accused,
and much
more. He did
many kind
and generous
deeds in secret,
expecting nothing
in return.
Within a century
of his death
he was celebrated as a saint.
Today he is venerated
in the East as
wonder, or miracle
worker and in the
West as patron
of a great
variety of persons-children,
mariners, bankers,
pawn-brokers, scholars,
orphans, laborers,
travelers, merchants,
judges, paupers,
marriageable
maidens, students,
children, sailors,
victims of judicial
mistakes, captives,
perfumers, even
thieves and murderers!
He is known
as the friend
and protector
of all in trouble
or need.
Is Bruno Gröning a Saint as well?? For my experience YES!!!
Bruno Groening has given us a lot of VALUABLE information in his
Christmas lectures, just like today when we listen to his tapes. Later we will
also hear a section of the tape, "God sent us one, his son,"
summarizing the main principles and wisdom of his teaching. What I would like
to say here is the most important thing in Bruno's teaching.
It's not just
about the birth of Christ, it's about you, it’s about us, about you and me,
about the birth of every one of you.
We should find out and gratefully show
that we have all received a life from God and a wonderful body here on this
earth. And what we are here for, what our job is and what we can learn on this –
sometimes really not easy – it is a training planet….
But first of all we would like to report today from the immediate
experience of a contemporary witness.
Already in the last year or the year before, we talked about a witness
report that is very beautiful and I would imagine that not all friends have got
this report by Mrs. Anneliese Bollack,
who had participated in Bruno Gröning sessions during his lifetime, as well as
some Christmas celebrations with Bruno Gröning. Therefore, I have decided to
share this eyewitness account again with you and to accompany it with pictures.
Bruno Gröning also appreciated the tree of life, the fir and we
know that every year for Christmas he adorned the Christmas tree personally,
whereby no one was allowed to disturb him. He often hid in the interior of the
fir a small cushion with the Infant Jesus and Mary and Joseph, with many angels
and stars, bells and pine cones.
Time witness report:
About the fir tree, Anneliese Bollack 1982
Mrs. Bollack was recalled by God
already in 1997 and has still left us an interesting report she wrote for
Christmas in 1982:
It's about the beautiful old
Christmas carol :
Oh
Christmas Tree
O
Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your
boughs can teach a lesson
That
constant faith and hope sublime
Lend
strength and comfort through all time.
O
Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your
boughs can teach a lesson.
"My
dear friends, this is the third rhyme from the well-known Christmas carol .
Today I would like to talk to you about the fir tree and it’s dress that should
teach us something. Always at Christmas time, we remember what Bruno Gröning
taught us, recalling it to our memory and want to give it to the new friends so
that they, too, can experience such a beautiful and blessed Christmas as we
have experienced it since Bruno Groening has shown us the right path and the
right attitude to Christmas.
Many
good, beautiful things have already been reported. Last year, I realized that
it was time to talk about the fir, because we had and we have a special
relationship with it, we as friends of Bruno Groening.
In the
community lessons, I have experienced that friends have no knowledge at all
about it. Bruno Gröning taught us something very big with the fir-tree dress.
Something that does not only happen in the spiritual, but that can be seen with
your eyes and convince people who are not yet so firm in the faith.
The old
friends will still know and remember but I would like to tell the new friends.
After a Christmas party - the whole room, the
table and everything was decorated with fir branches - Bruno Groening took a
few pine branches in the hand and said: "These needles will fall off after a certain time. But as man has
faith and believes that they do not fall off, so they will stay tuned. If you
believe me, you can take a few branches with you home and you will see what is
truth. "
Perhaps one can’t say so or make it
apprehensible to others, but I think in the hall was no one who did not believe
Bruno Gröning that the needles of the fir tree shall remain off as long as they
are kept. And so we took home all the branches and indeed it was like that, as
Bruno Groening had said previously, the needles did not fall off.
Over the years I had
more experience with the dress of fir. (...)
So I place every year over the image of
Christ, the image of Our Lady Mary and about Bruno's picture a small pine
branch. Never ever the needles fell off.Except
once - and indeed I tell you how it
happened:
It was
Christmas time and the community hour was scheduled and our former community
leader Ms. Puchalka and I decorated the room in the house of Mrs. Puchalka for
friends.
The traditional tree
decoration...
Of course, we had made it just as we had learned it. We dropped
colourful balls on the tree, small red mushrooms, tinsel, angel hair and
everything one does so, scattered around the room and decorated the tree. We
found it very nice. As I said goodbye and left the house, Bruno Groening
arrived. I still welcomed him and then I went home.
(Slide)The next day, when I
entered the room (we had decorated before)
for attending the community hour , I hardly recognized it. Everything
was changed. The coloured balls were gone. The tree stood there in his green
splendour; Bruno Groening had formed many balls of tinfoil and decorated the
tree with them. On the table stood a large beautiful glowing tinfoil ball.
Everything was changed but very beautiful and
glorious.
I just
was looking on and on. Later Mrs. Puchalka has reported that Mr. Groening had
said: „What have
poisonous mushrooms to do with a good Christmas Celebration?”
Everyone
will remember: those were the little red mushroom with white dots.
I have
always really liked them, because I love the red colour very much. Well, Mr.
Groening had said it and it was really so much nicer, like he had decorated. It
was really a wonderful Christmas Celebration that we had experienced at that
time.
As the time arrived to
decorate my home for Christmas, I stood before all my deco stuff and looked at
the splendour. But somehow it had lost it’s glamour. Bruno Groening had banished it from his room,
and above all the little poisonous mushrooms that I had always loved so much.
I
thought it just looked fantastic, the green of the fir and the red and white of
the mushrooms.
Inside of me, a real fight was raging - on one
side the words of Bruno and on the other side my joy about the red and white
colour of the mushrooms.
Now I have to say that I am a little bit
stubborn and do not let me take off anything so easily, when I like it and it
gives me pleasure. So I decorated as always.
Yes, I even did something I had
never done before: at the branch over Bruno's picture I put as well a small red
mushroom and saying, "Oh, Bruno, a little bit of poison can not
hurt!"
The next day I looked at the branch and was terribly frightened. All
needles were at the branch, it was thick and beautiful as before, but on the
single twig on which I had attached the small red mushroom, was not a single
needle anymore. There was only the fungus there.
I looked at the picture of Bruno
and then following thought came into my mind, as if Bruno spoke to me:
"It is done as you wanted it. You said a little poison does not
hurt? I'm sorry, but that's not true. Where you allow the evil to fix itself,
there's no more room for the good! Decide for yourself whether it hurts or not.
So it’s the same in your body. If you want, you can still keep a little poison,
but at this part where you give him space, no blessing will be!
Bruno Gröning:
„I think you have nothing in common with evil anymore...“
I
immediately picked up the fungus from the branch and also I removed all the
mushrooms out of my room. As every year I let the branch there as in all
previous years before too.
He has
taught me much. Nevertheless, I was very glad when next Christmas period came
and I was finally able to take it off, because it reminded me of a dumb view
and action. Who wants to be constantly reminded? Not me! Since then, I fully
confirm Bruno Groening's words: "I think that now you have nothing in
common with the evil." - Yes, Bruno, not even a tiny little bit!
Blessed
Fir branches:
Yes, dear friends, this is a valuable lesson that we can learn here. I
myself have collected those pine branches from previous years, where the
needles were not dropped and it is indeed true, what Bruno Groening said.
Anneliese Bollack
In this video you will find a part of Bruno Grindings Christmas speech in German words.
The main topic of his speech was always to remember the birth of Christ in comparison to our own birth and how to recognize our task in life.Here the exactly translation of the words in this clip:
Bruno Gröning:
"So, my dear friends. the Nativity of Christ will not be understood sooner, nor will it be understood before, until you have absorbed that knowledge, that you know what it means to you, your own birth, your own earthly life. I'll say it again quite clearly that you have come to self-knowledge. And that you know of yourself not something, but one thing, what you really are, in fact.
Then you too, my dear friends, you will really prepare for the Holy Christmas, the true Redeemer, so that until this day you are also worthy to receive the Blessed Sacrament, all the good that God has destined for you."
Dear friends, the
next slides are some photos from the Christmas Celebration in Rosenheim.
As it gradually got around in Rosenheim, how beautiful these Christmas
celebrations are in the presence of BRUNO GRÖNING, more and more people came
forward, so that the community leader was looking for a larger hall.
So then the celebrations in Western village St. Peter (in the Hotel
Höhensteiger) were held at Rosenheim. Then there were other preparations to
make and we were eager to glue countless homemade golden stars made of gold
paper for large Christmas trees, and to createfir bins for the tables.
The community leader made pyramids of tinfoil balls covered with red
candles for each table in this large hall. I made a large number of
Rauschgoldengeln (golden angels) in a year, which were attached to every wall
light with green fir. It was a beautiful
sight, this big hall with Christmas trees on the stage, with the table
decoration and the many candles and the golden angels on the walls.
And
then it was time: BRUNO GRÖNING came with the board members of the association
under the sounds of "Hallelujah" from the Messiah of Handel, slowly
through the hall and his bright blue eyes seized every one of us and it was as
if a Wave of happiness came with him about each one. After the welcome by the
community leader again a plate with Christmas carols was launched. There were
other members of the board and then BRUNO GRÖNING lit the candles in his place
and from this burning candle all the countless candles on the tables and on the
trees on the stage were lit.
Some
small interludes were given by friends and in between again and again our
beautiful German Christmas carols played on records until the big moment came
and BRUNO GRÖNING entered the stage and gave us a lecture. During such
a lecture, there was a silence in the great hall, and everyone present felt
especially addressed by Him, as if he were looking to the bottom of his soul
and his words are directed to every single one personally. Some I saw crying
quietly, but these were not tears of sorrow, but the soul freed itself by the
weeping of bad experiences of recent times; because, without exception, the
whole hall was full of bright and happy people after such a lecture, and I am
convinced that it took place in each one and it was fulfilled what everybody
has asked for.
Gorgeous
were those hours. BRUNO GRÖNING first of all explained to us what the birth of
CHRIST meant to each and every one of us; he pointed out that just above this
Celebration, the grace, the goodwill of God prevails on all mankind and I
remember that once he asked quite spontaneously, "Who can memorize the
stanzas of the song Silent Night, Holy
Night, without the tune?" Honestly, I did not answer because I was not
sure that I could have done it ... Those heavenly sounds of this song are
familiar to us from childhood and considering that straight text and melody are
created by two simple men, and now it is sung all over the world in all
languages. Our friend certainly knew what this song of intimacy and love sounds
like and what a blessing it is, a blessing that applies not only to
German-speaking people, but to all.
At that time a friend stood up, I still see it
as today: the main teacher Preußler from the Rosenheim community and he spoke
fluently the lyrics of the song, such way BRUNO wished it, and this reminder
gives me the impetus to do the same thing right now, and I ask you all to take
that text of the glorious song word for word.
Now you may listen to this song sung by some children and afterwards my
new made video. Please watch at my Channel Bhanjani 123

Gröning
Now I want
to show you some more pictures and autographes, Bruno Gröning gave to the
friends after a Christmas celebration:
Now I would
like to share a wonderful healing report, which happened in our independent
group in Quebec in Canada, which is guided by a wonderful lady with name Marie
France. I’ve met her in Spain in 2013, when we both have visited the
independent groups of Maria Molina from Spain, (she is leading more than 10
communities) Marie France came from Canada and I from Germany - and we experienced
a thrilling time there. Also we both suffered a lot, but that’s another story,
I don’t like to mention here. From 2014 up to now wonderful things are
happening. The Canadian friends are also attending our OMs and here now I
received this wonderful letter with a card where signed more than 20 friends
and they sent Christmas wishes. Here I tell you about one of the wonderful
healings:
Marie
France:
Here is
Murielle’s story: Healing of a Torn Medial Meniscus on left knee:
Murielle used to come to my groups for Postural
Gymnastic. In Month of May 2014, she came limping with 2 crutches and told me
she had a torn meniscus on her left knee, confirmed on the MRI. Right away I
thought of Bruno and I talked to her after the class asking her if she believed
in God. She said, she is a strong believer. Then right away , I gave her
Bruno's picture and I told her < take this picture ,put him on your left
knee and just ask him for you healing.! >I didn't say much, because I didn't
know how she would accept all this information.
Then a week later she called me for an
appointment in physiotherapy. I explained to her about Bruno before the
treatment, she was very open. We did Einstellen together , we asked for
Bruno’s help and the healing of her knee. I was not sure if I would be able
to treat her, but she was very convinced that we would not be alone in this
work.(It was an adventure for me, asking openly Bruno's help for the treatment!
Usually I would not speak about it.)
She started at the beginning of June 2014, she
received 3 treatments and when she came beginning of July, she had no more pain
on her knee! I was overjoyed, so she was! Bruno had done his work so
beautifully! He had worked with us! Thank you Bruno for your help!
She went to see her surgeon in October 2014 who
was supposed to operate on her knee. After seeing the last MRI, he told her
only scar tissue could be seen on her medial meniscus, then He wrote today
: “Madame presents normal examination and needs no treatment whatsoever.
She's discharged “
Now 12 of December 2017,
Murielle’s knee is completely healed.
