EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Morey Bernstein, a Colorado businessman, amateur hypnotist, and writer who made headlines in the 1950s with his controversial work on reincarnation. In 1952, Bernstein hypnotized Virginia Tighe, a housewife from Colorado, who astonishingly regressed into the past life of an Irishwoman named Bridey Murphy. The story caused a sensation and Bernstein went on to publish a best-selling book in 1956 titled "The Search for Bridey Murphy," using the pseudonym Ruth Simmons for Tighe.
Despite facing skepticism and criticism from skeptics and researchers later discrediting the supposed reincarnation case, Bernstein's work left an indelible mark on popular culture at the time. This print showcases him in a smart suit and tie, surrounded by historical artifacts like an old-fashioned lamp and tape recorder - symbols of his exploration into past lives through hypnosis.
Morey Bernstein may have passed away in 1999 but his legacy lives on through his writings that continue to spark discussions about paranormal phenomena and human consciousness. This image is not just a snapshot of one man's extraordinary journey but also serves as a reminder of how our fascination with mysteries beyond our understanding can shape our perceptions of reality.
