Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part Nine

As we discovered in the other blogs Morey Bernstein stumbled across past lives and reincarnation quite by accident. In this blog we will go through the rest of the regression that Ruth Simmons experienced.

Bridey was named after her grandmother Bridget. Her mother was called Kathleen and she had black hair. Her father was tall and had red hair. His name was Duncan Murphy. Bridey also had red hair. They lived in Cork, Ireland in the early 1800s. The family lived outside the village. Then Morey got Bridey to move forward to fifteen years old. She went to Stragne’s Day School and stayed there all week long. She was studying to be a lady. She learned how to do proper things around the house.

Bridey married Brian McCarthy. Brian’s father was a barrister, like her father. Brian went to school in Belfast. Bridey and Brian got married and moved from Cork to Belfast. They had no children. They lived in a cottage behind Brian’s grandmother’s house while he went to school.

Brian was Catholic and Bridey was Protestant, but the church Bridey went to with her family as a child was a non-sectarian small church.

She also told Morey a prayer they always would say before dinner as a child, “Bless this house in all weather. Keep it gay in springy heather. Bless the children, Bless the food. Keep us happy, bright and good.” Then Morey regressed Ruth again to another life before this lifetime. After a few quiet minutes she found herself in New Amsterdam as a baby and she was dying. Her parents were Vera and John Jamison.

She got very tired, so Morey took her back to her life in Ireland. She went to her death in that life. She fell down some stairs and was very hurt. Her husband tried to heal her, but she died soon after at sixty-six.

We will explore more of Bridey Murphy’s lives and Morey Bernstein’s search in the next blog in late December.

Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part Eight

As we discussed in the previous blog, Morey Bernstein stumbled across past lives and reincarnation quite by accident. As a young man, he was at a party, and someone brought up hypnotism, and everyone laughed. So, he said he would show the disbelieving crowd that hypnotism did work. A young woman named Ruth volunteered. Much to Morey’s surprise, while under hypnosis, she went back to Cork, Ireland, in the 1800s. Her name was Bridey Murphy.

Over the years, Morey kept bumping into the concept of reincarnation and past lives, and it annoyed him more than anything else. Eventually, he and his wife went on a trip that included Edgar Cayce’s work and then to New York City, where he was stunned by all the books on reincarnation, even in the New York Library. He was also shocked by all the famous people who believed in past lives, including Ben Franklin and many more.

After that trip, Morey decided to refine his hypnotism techniques and sessions. He then decided to put Ruth, who married his friend Rex Simmons, through a regression on November 29, 1952. He had regressed her 2x before and was ready to see if she could go back before she was born into this life.

Here is what he discovered, with his wife and Ruth’s husband as witnesses to this regression. They went to her life in Cork, Ireland. She was four years ago. She then went to eight years old. She knew her mother’s name was Kathleen. Her father’s name was Duncan. Her name was Bridey Murphy, and the year was 1806. Her father was a barrister; he was tall and had red hair. Bridey also had bright red hair. This surprised all of them because Ruth had brown hair and didn’t know what a barrister was. The regression went on with many very interesting details. She then went through her death and another rebirth in New Amsterdam, which was New York in the colonies in the United States.

We will go through the rest of the regression in the next blog. It is fascinating at all levels. Have a wonderful summer.

Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part Seven

Welcome to the ongoing saga, our blog on reincarnation. Reincarnation is accepted by over 4 billion people in the world. Strangely enough, there are still people in the Western culture who have a very hard time wrapping their heads around this broad and fascinating subject.

So I bought a book by Morey Bernstein called The Search for Bridey Murphy. Much to my surprise, as I read this book I found out that his path led him to the renowned Edgar Cayce. He also got great information about reincarnation in a book by Dr. Gina Cerminara called Many Mansions.

Mr. Bernstein and his wife Hazel decided to investigate reincarnation and their 1st stop would be Virginia Beach, Virginia. They met Hugh Cayce, Edgar Cayce’s son. He cordially answered all of their questions and led them to a huge vault where all of his father’s readings were filed.

Then they flew to New York to get to the core of his Cayce inquiry — the main 3 questions he wanted answers from especially the reincarnation question. When they finished quizzing all of the people on their list it became clear that Edgar Cayce was not a fraud. They also looked into the Sherwood Eddy report. They talked to many doctors who had patients who got help from Edgar Cayce. They all agreed that his diagnosis ranged from 80-100% accurate. They wanted to get the story directly from people involved that had been helped. Much to our surprise lawyers, authors, steel workers etc. all said that Edgar Cayce worked wonders. Also he never accepted any payments for his readings.

Reincarnation showed up mostly in Cayce’s life reading for people.

Rudyard Kipley wrote a story “The Finest Story in The World”. Morey Bernstein found this book in his finance advisor’s library. He sent Mr. Bernstein to the New York library in the 1950’s and they already had hundreds of books on reincarnation.

Some notable people who also believed in past lives are Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Benjamin Franklin, Pluto, Socrates, Longfellow, Whitman, Goethe, Pythagorus, Caesar, Oliver Wendall Holmes, Victor Hugo, Thomas Huxley, Sir Walter Scott and so many more.

Then Morey Bernstein found out that hypnotists could help people discover their past lives so he started to work on going down that path to see if he could contact that woman he met at a party in his early 20s and accidentally connected her to an Irish woman in the 1800’s named Bridey Murphy. We will continue this fascinating story in the next blog.

Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part Six

Welcome to our latest blog exploring some of the many lives that I have witnessed over the last 30 years.

In one of our past life classes years ago there was a woman who kept having the same experiences over and over again in each class. Finally, she moved to the next section of that lifetime and was able to put all the pieces together. The first part she described to the class was a man wearing a tilted hat standing outside an old house. He looked very sad and it seemed like no one in the house was interested in letting him in the house. So in the beginning of these regressions, he just stayed outside waiting for them to let him in. Finally, she realized the people in the house couldn’t see him.

Over many classes, she discovered that she was Edward Curtis. In every regression, he wore a hat that tilted over one of his eyes. She came across a picture randomly and immediately knew she had found the person she was looking for. Edward Curtis was an American photographer who focused on the American West and Native American people. In 1895 he met and photographed Princess Angelinine known as Kickisomic. She was the daughter of Chief Sealth of Seattle. In 1906 J.P. Morgan provided Curtis with $75,000 to produce a series on Native Americans. It took Curtis 20 years to produce this series of twenty volumes. He took over 40,000 photographs in that twenty years. He used 1500 of them in the Native American series. Much of Curtis’s work was lost to the world for years in a bookstore basement and rediscovered in 1972. His work is now shown in Northwestern University, Library of Congress, Charles Lauriat archives eventually were put in the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His work is also on display at the Peabody Museum. His work is also on display at the Indiana University and the University of Wyoming.

The woman really struggled with the regressions but found a consistent aspect in all of them. the man she was wore the same hat consistently in every flame reading we did. Finally, there was an almost complete picture on the paper with the hat perched on his head and she said that’s who I am. So we eventually found out specifically who she was. Interestingly enough, I had never heard of him and yet she had friends who had his photographs or knew all about him.

Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Lives, Part Five

past life workshops boulder

Welcome to part five of this blog. This subject Past Lives, Present Lives and Future Live is so big we will have more blogs covering it. We are very interested in either your comments or experiences.

Many famous people believe in reincarnation. Many people around the world have experienced past lives and accept them as fact. Some of these are the Dali Lama, Edgar Cayce, and Dr. Brian Weiss. Over the years I have had many experiences in Dr. Brian Weiss’s workshops, cruises, and classes.

In this blog post, we will explore two past lives that Dr. Weiss talked about at length: 1) Jenny, who remembered her lifetime in Ireland and was worried about the eight children she left behind when she died suddenly; 2) Elizabeth and Pedro, who were clients of Dr. Weiss’s, and his attempt to get them together and the drama that happened.

Jenny Cockell started remembering her past life as Mary Sutton in Ireland. At this point, she was four years old and no one believed her. She started drawing a building she remembered. It turned out to be the old hospital that she died in. She was very worried about her children. One of the reasons she was so worried was because she knew her husband wouldn’t be able to take care of their eight children. Eventually, through talking to a man in Ireland and through research and hypnosis, she found the town of Malahide, Ireland. She was very determined to find her children from that previous lifetime. So eventually, she was able to go to the town of Malahide and found the building she kept drawing and dreaming about since the age of four. It was indeed the hospital she had died in. She eventually found her old house and some of her still living children. She told them her story and all the details she had gotten from her dreams etc. over the years. All of them that were alive agreed that those details were true. Several of them just couldn’t wrap their heads around past lives so even though they liked her they couldn’t accept her as their dead mother. The others however did believe she was their mother and were thrilled that she came to find them. Her fears about their fate was real. Her husband in that lifetime couldn’t take care of them so they were separated and put in orphanages to be taken care of. The ones she found stayed together and they were the youngest so they were still alive.

CBS made a movie about Jenny’s life but they changed her name to Jenny Cole and Jane Seymour played her. There are also books that are out by her that tell her story.

Dr. Brian Weiss told this story many times in his classes and he loved it so much he even wrote a book detailing the lives of Elizabeth and Pedro.

They were both clients of his that met with him on different days but after many sessions with them he started to realize they were seeing the same details of past lives. Neither one of them could seem to have a positive real relationship. They had never seen each other in this lifetime. They were strangers. They were both suffering from grief around the loss of a loved one. So even though he had never done this before, Dr. Weiss set up their appointments back to back on the same day so they could meet. Well they both sat there in his office and completely ignored each other. So, rightly so, Dr. Weiss decided he wasn’t supposed to interfere.

Months later, one of them missed their flight and sat down in an airplane seat next to the other. They started talking and the rest is history.

They got married and were very happy. If you want to read this amazing story it is in a book Dr. Brian Weiss wrote called Only Love Is Real. It’s a great book and all the details are true.

Patricia
