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.
