Once again: Pros and cons Bruno Gröning
by Anny Baroness Ebner von Eschenbach
As a member of the Circle of Friends to Bruno Gröning and a longtime vegetarian and subscriber of the "V.U." (Vegetarian Universe, journal) I want to help you with this letter, to give a truthful answer to those who are upset about that an article appears in "V. U." about "the nonvegetarian and smoker Bruno Gröning".
I just had the opportunity to personally converse with Mr. Bruno Gröning about the answer by your editorial in the August sequence 8 of "V. U.". I read him your little response items, after having assured him that the same is written in a decent, even generous spirit, because he refuses to waste his time and thoughts to negative force, mobbing hostility. A sufficient number of these have indeed emerged in recent years, and I also had one of this kind with me ("Münchner Merkur". 7 July 1953, under the paragraph "diary").
After the sentence of your "V. U. "- article:"Bruno Gröning, as important as he is, would be much more significant as a vegetarian and Non-smoker", Bruno Gröning said: "Yes, that's true, but what does my even greater skill help me, if I do not get the possibility of having cleared the way to me for the healing seekers and when I cannot transfer the healing power! I do smoke and drink coffee exactly for the reason that I can retain the current which often comes over me with such power. Previously, I therefore, even used to drink alcohol, but this was completely switched off by me. I also already smoke less, and do not depend on cigarettes.
Vegetarianism I fully affirm, because I stand against the killing and destruction of life. Through me, many were already converted into vegetarians, yes, even rawfoodists." "Yes," I said, "that's right. Recently, I spoke with a Rosenheim resident, who told me that he rejects all killing of animals since a meeting with you, was converted into rawfoodist and has transformed his entire life style into Nature connectedness. "
Mr. Gröning continued speaking: "I barely eat anything at all, because only a few mouthfuls are sufficient to saturate me, exactly like I need no sleep. When I eat, I get tired. I then eat only matching foods, many vegetarians suffer just from the too-much and too-various-food.
I can prove that my body does not accept the strong poisons of nicotine, alcohol and caffeine, I'm never sick, I master my body. Not because people want it from their point of view I shutoff these deficiencies, but when it is necessary for me, it happens."
Mr. Gröning allowed me to make this conversation available for you. I myself would like to add some observations. Bruno Gröning is constantly on the go and always comes together with people from all kinds of society layers the guest of whom he then usually is. Thus, often he does not want the hosts to face difficulties by requiring from them a certain type of food. In most cases, he eats nothing, is however pleased when being offered nuts, fruit and salads.
He consumes much liquid, especially apple juice and mineral water and, as he once told me, this is his diet simultaneously and in addition this is conditioned by the current, the heat of which would burn him otherwise. I was pleased with your generous response to the letters, because we friends felt some concern that some ignorant individuals would again gossip about Bruno Gröning in an irresponsible, mercenary manner.
Only those can assess and understand Bruno Gröning reasonably, who can rise to the spiritual level of selfless, self-sacrificing, devotional love for suffering humanity, to whom he sacrifices his whole personal life, only to help, to have the human brothers and sisters find their way back to their divine origin and thus also to their health. Since we (also Mr. Gröning) are opponents of vaccination, then I would like to report also a case which I personally experienced lately and pick out from among other healing cases of our Bruno Gröning community.
A grandmother asked me for help through Bruno Gröning for her grandchild in Carinthia, who since smallpox vaccination in 1952 had terrible convulsions and high fever and thus, was slowly lingering increasingly ill. No doctor could help. I asked Bruno Gröning for distant healing of the to me unknown child, and he gave me an "addressed" (a blessed or consecrated) object. This we sent to Carinthia. The child touched the object and has since been freed of all ailments. The parents stood in front of a miracle.
After eight weeks, they sent a written affidavit medicinal report after they had observed the child further and found that it had increased from day to day forces and that of the ailments nothing had occurred., and he gave me an "addressed" (consecrated) object. This we sent to Carinthia. The child touched the object and has since been freed of all ailments. The parents stood in front of a miracle. After eight weeks, they sent a written affidavit medicinal report after they had observed the child further and found that its strength had increased from day to day and that of the ailments nothing had occurred any more.
Bruno Gröning never demands anything for aiding assistance, and the parents had already spent a fortune in medical expenses for the child. You see from this brief report that the "sacred" lines of the "V.U." even become more "sacred", if you make these lines, available in favour of such a great person and skilled individual, like Bruno Gröning and finally publish the "essentials" about Bruno Gröning.
With warmest regards,
