Book Reviews of The Reconnection

Book Review: Similar, but different...
Summary: 5 Stars

This book, for me, had two distinct parts. The first was an engaging story about how Pearl went from a normal California chiropractor to a world renowned healer and teacher of "Reconnection". The second part is down to business about the energy and how the Reader can work with it. The way he describes the unfolding events leaves me feeling that his story is authentic. Why? Because I can spot someone who has been "rode hard and put away wet" when I see one. They say, "I don't know"... a lot.

People who have undergone life-changing, transformative perspective shifts aren't sent through them with a manual. He described his process much in the same way that I would describe mine. It was often scary and frustrating. It required a strong tolerance for confusion, ambiguity, and high paranormal strangeness--all without trying to tie it all up in a pretty box. Sometimes there are no books, places, or people to look to for answers. Sometimes the only place you can go for any wisdom is Up and In. The learning curve involved isn't at all graceful either, until you learn to surrender to the process, which takes years. It does eventually settle down into a comfortable acceptance of "not knowing" and having faith you are being directed properly anyway, but those early days when you still want to know (and think it's possible) are tough. Pearl described this with flare. Not only do I believe him, but I would also wager that it got quite a bit stranger than what he describes in the book.

Pearl's rapid shifting began with a Jewish "gypsy" (love it--he had me at "Bubbelah"), who charged him $333 to sweep and clear his meridian system. The first session yielded nothing except regret that he wasted his money. The second session blew him open like a firecracker in July. Immediately after the second session, the "energy" came in and began running through him. He began observing rapid, transformational healings happen with his chiropractic clients. Soon after the energy began to come through, he received physical blisters and pinpoint bleeding on his palms. Even though he was baffled, he allowed himself to play with and explore the healing potential of the energies.

The high strangeness didn't end with the unexplained energy flow and transformative healings either. Many of his clients began going into spontaneous trances while he worked on them--and not just any kind of trance--but ones in which his clients began to channel information from an unseen spiritual source. The clients in trance provided him with the same exact six statements over and over. (If that isn't strange, I don't know what is.) The six repeating statements were: 1) We are here to tell you to continue doing what you are doing. 2) What you are doing is bringing light and information to the planet. 3) What you are doing is reconnecting strands. 4) What you are doing is reconnecting strings. 5) You must know that you are a master. 6) We've come because of your reputation.

The `source' of the channeled messages never announced itself, but several of his clients also reported seeing, sensing, or feeling what they described as angelic or spiritual beings in the room during the healing sessions. Many of them, who did not have knowledge of the other's accounts, described the same exact spiritual beings. His answer seeking took him into some odd places by conventional standards, so if you are not open to the idea of other-dimensional beings, "starseeds", or the 12-strand DNA concept, you probably will have trouble with the book. Fair warning.

The rest of his personal story describes how he sought to make sense of his new world as he maintained forward movement in the best way that he could. The miraculous healings on his clients continued, his reputation began to spread, and he noticed that his clients also began to flow this same energy through their hands after they received their sessions. The energy itself transferred, even without a formal "attunement", as with Reiki. People wanted to know how to train to do this, and even though Pearl does not believe you can "train" someone to be a healer (because it is God that heals, not the healer), he did decide to write the book as a manual for others.

The second part of the book is about opening up to the energies, playing with them, as well as Pearl imparting the framework that he has settled on to define a spiritual reality. Here, he does communicate what he believes are spiritual "facts", and tends to go off in a somewhat "I know better" manner, which was the only thing in the whole book that I did not like. It seems clear that his seeking answers in the metaphysical community left him a little jaded, but I feel he may have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. He pooh-poohs several things that I consider to be "responsible practice". Some of these practices include seeking permission before doing work on someone and the maintenance of sacred space and spiritual protection.

Pearl also has a "no tools or rituals at all" perspective that I think is unnecessarily dismissive of a natural developmental progression. Abstract, autonomous functioning within a spiritual format is a process, not an event. I believe that until you have evolved beyond "duality" that you should still lock your energetic and physical doors and be mindful of what is around you. I would prefer that you honor your process as you are internally guided, using whatever techniques, tools, or rituals you feel are helpful at your current stage of development. When you are ready to rely less on outside tools, helpers, and practices, you will upgrade (hard or easy) to higher functioning as a matter of natural course. That is exactly what Pearl did, but he seems to be looking back on his personal growth with a condescending hindsight that may make others feel inadequate about their own level of development. Wherever Pearl is right now in his development came through a chain of events, courage, hard work, and time-on-task. It's okay to work it out in your own perfect time. We are in much bigger hands. If you dally too long on any step along the way, the Powers-That-Be are more than capable of kicking your ass off it (that would be the "hard" way). No. It's not even as fun as it sounds.

The fastest part of the book is the one that deals with activating the Reader to the Reconnection energies. I have a framework for receiving spirit-direct attunements/activations, so when it was time to activate my hands, per the book, I just stuck my hands out in front of me and allowed my own spiritual helpers to initiate the process. Not subtle, very buzzy... and they did my feet as well. Fun. I did the exercises, as recommended, also nice. Pearl does go out of his way to say how different these energies are to whatever is out there already, and I tend to agree. However, it's similar enough that any energy worker will find it familiar and easy to pick up. Even complete newbies will find it easy to pick up, I think. What I really like is that you are asked to play with the energy by just moving your hands around according to your natural attention and interest. It doesn't get any easier than that.

Pearl also goes into a short description about the way people integrate and experience the Reconnection energies. I didn't pay much attention to this at first, but it got my attention later. Remember how Pearl reported little blisters and pinpoint bleeding on his palms when he first experienced the flow of the energy? Well, apparently other people also get these little blisters and pinpoint bleeding after opening a flow to the energies. He calls those kids of folks "manifestors". Hmm. Well,I got a full body rash within 12 hours of finishing the book and activating the Reconnection energies. Funny enough, I only had one single little blister on my left palm, but I had a multitude of them on my knuckles and the backs of my fingers (of both hands), as well as up my arms. I also had little pinpoint red spots (like tiny "hickies" of blood pooled under the skin), called petechia, which came out mostly on my belly, sides, and upper thigh region. My rash was gone in a week, wasn't really that uncomfortable, and hasn't been back since. I can't chalk it up to suggestion, since the actual suggestion would have been for the rash to be on my palms--which it wasn't, save one. Maybe it was the Reconnection activation, maybe it wasn't. It's certainly worth mentioning, however. So, again...fair warning.

I really liked this book. I really like this energy. I'm having fun playing with it and the fundamental "in your face" simplicity. Does it activate 12 strands of DNA? I don't know, but it definitely buzzes and crackles. Is it worth the money to Hay House to find out? Absolutely. If you are already an energy worker with interactive spiritual assistance, the book is probably all you need. If you have healing issues, or are being drawn to energy work for the first time and aren't sure how to navigate those waters yet, going to a practitioner or seminar is probably your best bet... but you might as well read the book anyway. It's a good read.
