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.
