Transcript of the stenographic record of a lecture given by
Bruno Gröning on 12 October 1950, at the Wagnerbräu, Lilienstrasse, Munich
It is difficult to accomplish the purpose I have had up to now. I
am not departing from my purposes. I am leaving nothing untried so as
to clear
the way for you all. Sadly it is again the case today that I have been
banned from healing people. This is not unknown to you. But I can
certainly
speak to you, since you all wish this, and as I do so too. I would like
to leave nothing untried so as to give you more guidance on how it is
possible to help people who have been caught up in a distressing
situation, who have been gripped by an illness and cannot get rid of
it. And that is why I am standing before you here, because I want to
show you the way. That means that I am ready to help you. But every
person who is seeking healing must know what is actually happening here.
For this reason I am not being timid; last year I made it clear that I
have put myself at the disposal of science, of medicine. In order to
show them the way in which they can help people in an easy way; that
is, heal them.
For each one of them, as I was showing him the way, I was more of a role model.
Today, you have come here as people seeking healing, to get rid of your suffering.
As to how this is possible, I want to stand before you like a signpost and show you the way.
Just as you see the light bulb in this room, so I see you. Here the
light bulb is
fulfilling its purpose; it fulfils its purpose when it is giving out
light, and indeed it can only give out light if it is receiving an
electrical current, that is to say, the current that is generated and
comes from the power station, and is then conducted via a transformer
to the individual electric sockets.
I am not just giving you an image. But do imagine something for
yourselves. And here I would have asked you to imagine that you were
light bulbs! A light bulb fails to fulfill its purpose when it does not
receive any current, that is, when the power
supply to this light bulb is interrupted in some way. Sometimes you as
human
beings are in a position to interrupt this current that is traveling to
the light bulb
with a switch which is also called a circuit breaker – and at other
times it can happen that the power supply for this light – for this
light bulb – can be interrupted by human hands that have never been
able to do something good and from which nothing good can be expected,
since they are bad people. I call these bad people satanic.
But in this matter I am a really good technician and I know how to trace and restore the connection that has been interrupted by satanic hands,
so that the light bulb receives its current and the bulb then fulfills
its purpose, otherwise it would be worthless. And so I am standing
before you now as a little repairman, who knows how to restore this
connection for you.
On the other hand, I am standing before like a transformer which on the
one side receives the current from the divine power station which then,
on the other side, gets passed on from the power station to the
individual electric sockets via the transformer. Do you understand that?
And so I am now feeding the current to the individual power sockets. You are not
unaware that there are several such transformers through which the current is
brought back to the power station. Women too are aware of this; they have often
seen the substations that house such transformers. They either stand in the
open or are housed in buildings. And so we have here found the correct
way to show this light bulb the reason for its existence.
It is just the same with human beings.
For thousands of years, human beings have more and more lost their
connection
to this great divine power station and it is this connection that I
want to put in place again. Over the years human beings continued to
depart more and
more from the true, divine faith and have consequently lost all
connection to this divine power station.
So that you understand me better: As I have already said, there have existed
bad people before now. These bad people, from whom nothing good can
be expected, who have completely fallen prey to Satan, can only do what is
bad, and so we cannot expect anything good from these people. They
have managed to lead human beings away from the true divine path. Today
human beings are on the wrong path.
They no longer know what is in front of them and what is behind them. They no longer know what is good and what is bad.
Everyone now has their own ideas, that is to say, at this time you are
living in, you believe, or at least you used to believe, that it was
right and proper for you to be this way.
You are satisfied if there are places of worship here and there, which
you visit once a day or once a week or whenever, and you are satisfied
that you are fulfilling your purpose if you just go there once in a
while and rattle off your little prayer with the rest of them.
For everyone believes that they already have the proper connection to
the divine power station. But that is not so. With all my heart I wish
that people
will become human beings that really have faith in God, that they will
carry the true divine faith within them and will show this not with
words but with deeds.
People today are in the habit of saying, I believe in this, I believe in that.
Here no one needs to believe in Gröning. It is enough for me that I am
on the path and that I cannot depart from this path, the path of
helping human beings. The proof of this has been there for a long time,
not just since yesterday or today. No, it has been the case for years
that people who were seriously ill have become well again and indeed
most of you are not here out of curiosity but to get well again, to
find health here.
And this does not depend on me, but on each person themselves. I have said it
before and I’ll say it again: Do not promise me anything; show it with deeds, not
with words!
And here I can certainly and with all justice make this claim for myself, if I say:
I am a role model for all human beings, because I demonstrate with my deeds
that I am on the divine path and that it is my wish to guide all people
onto this path. And so I am a signpost here, because I leave nothing
untried in order to guide human beings back onto the true, divine path.
The bridge that led to this divine path had been destroyed, and it was therefore
not possible for any human being to get onto this path again. Today the bridge is
there again. Today you can walk over this bridge, and the bridge has been there
since that day when I was dragged into the glare of worldwide publicity.
I have restored, for the people of this earth, the bridge that had
previously been destroyed, and they can now walk over this bridge.
You cannot show that you have faith in God only with words, as you have been
used to doing up to now. No, show it with deeds!
If I only give you one piece of advice:
Love your neighbour more than yourself!
That says a great deal. I don’t want to bore you here with a long
speech or
force so much into your poor heads, no. I will make it short and hope
that you understand me. For, looking at it figuratively, it seems that
human beings – as I
said just now – are on the wrong path.
Years ago – many, many years ago – they were led astray from the divine
path, and the possibility of turning back onto this path was no longer
available to them, because the bridge had been demolished behind them.
And today human beings are just wandering about here because they no
longer know – as I’ve said already – what is false and what is true.
This is how it is here: I only want to call people back as they stand
before the abyss and say to them, they must not go any further, they
are in imminent danger, and they may walk on the divine path again, and
that this is the connection to the divine power station.
For I am not unaware that people, many, many people – and especially
here in Bavaria – are very religious, but have never enshrined the
true, divine faith in their hearts by showing what they believe, their
creed, their faith in God, with deeds, just as they have done hitherto
with mere words and promises. I have spoken briefly with several
clergymen.
We came straight to point when I said to them: “Reverend, you can’t
preach every day in the same peaceful and straightforward way. No, it
always depends on the people you’ve got in front of you, the decisive
thing being whether they are good or bad.” These clergymen could only
agree with me, for they said: “Yes, that’s right; it’s not the same
every day.
There are many days on which I clam up and can hardly get a word out of
my mouth.” And then I told him that it simply depends on the people he
has in front
of him and the kind of thoughts or intentions they bring with them when
they come to this place of worship. And there are days – as these
clergymen also said – when they could speak so calmly and easily. Yes,
on those occasions they definitely had good people in front of them,
people who had faith in God. I can only ask you as a human being to put
the true, divine faith into practice. For someone can quickly give
their word for anything at all, and just as quickly take it back again.
Just as you are well aware that there are people who have promised many
things to you too in the course of their lives, but have mostly not
kept their promises.
And that is why I go on saying: If one or the other of you wants to be
a helpful and good human being, they should let their deeds speak for
them. They
should just get on with it and not say: “I would like to help my fellow
human beings, they are in such a bad way.” They say this every day; not
just once but
countless times, to whomever they happen to meet. But they never get
round to
actually helping their poor fellow humans, even though it would not be
any bother
to them to take their poor fellow human being by the arm.
So, as far as human beings are concerned, the word – even when someone
gives their word – is nothing. Indeed, these days they have to have
safeguards and say, “Come on, give it to me in writing!” And even then
they don’t always get what was promised them in this bit of writing,
and then they usually let it get as far as taking legal action and
bicker with each other about it, and, instead of being helped, the poor
people end up getting thrown into even more misfortune. Human beings
really should have done everything they could to put a stop to this,
and much else besides.
