The Reconnection
ISBN:9781401902100 read summary

If there is one single book that really have to be read before one dies I believe THIS IS IT.

Dr Pearl not only saying the ABSOLUTE TRUTH in his book he is also the agent -a perfect agent I may add - to bestow that truth upon US ALL.
I read several reviews here and I am astonished about some of them. Let me say this: I was born in a tiny miserable european contry and at eight I had fallen onto my back from the top of a 3 floor building. I died instantly. I knew it - and a lot of things happened - but I was pushed back. I never said a word about it to anyone during my childhood. My spinal cord was broken but it was 'put back' together. Don't ask me how. It just was. From that time onward I was searching for something that I knew existed...didn't know what it was but I knew it was a connection between the world I came to know while I died and the world that we call 'physical reality' or just 'realitiy'. I knew there was far more to existence than what meets the eye..I knew it was real and I knew it was possible to connect the 'two worlds'...but I was only 8, do you think anyone would listen to me?

Many decades passed by and I found many valuable things during my search - but only now can I say I really FOUND it. That's what Reconnection really IS. Something in me instantly recognised it.

Thank you Dr Pearl for 'playing your part' in my story, and in all of our stories:-)

While reading the book my hands and arms went into some very strange sensation that I had no idea what it could be, for I haven't got as far in the book where it explains the 'activation' process. It was so intensely that I started to worry and stupid thoughts came to my mind. "Gees, I must developed a sudden, very intense circulation problem - perhaps because of decades of smoking." Then I thought: "For haven's sake, I hope I will make it alive at least until I read this book."

Then eventually I reached the part in the book which talkes about the energy (I like to call it the divine force) and its activation. Then I burst out laughing so hard I almost fallen off my chair. The 'force' was so overwhelmingly strong in me that I could not compare it to anything else but circulation problems:-) Typical how we tend to project our fears and pre-judment onto something we have no idea what it is.

Then I tried it out as Dr Pearl suggests in the book; oh no I didn't need to try finding the energy it found me just fine:-) literally knocked me over before I had a clue....and it was doing everything that's in the book and FAR MORE. First I tried on a plant that was unhealthy; it is thriving now. It works not only on people and animals but on plants too. Anything alive - and I would say that includes absolutely everything by the way...not just what we 'recognise' being alive...

This 'information' simply helps us all to 'directly connect us back home' to reconnect with our true home and our true 'self' - while alive. That's the only difference...so not only after death we become aware of the connection but here and now, while we're on this planet...

I would have much to say but I just say the most significant experiences; like my astral guide (a light being, yes made from absolute pure light I know 'him' for decades) shocked me with literally jumping into me two days before this 'strange' energy activation happened. Just when I started to read the book. I was astonished - than I realised it is what has always been the case, it is 'part' of me. But I couldn't really accept that something so beautiful and perfect can be a part of 'me'. That's what prevented the full connection till now. Yet that higher 'part' of me knew that I have arrived to the right 'space' the moment I touched the Reconnection book. Later when I read the whole book and other information I laughed how simple and natural is all that: this is what has been explained in the book of course. Our own 'light' will be reconnected. I just happened to 'know' that light for a long time but couldn't accept it fully, only as an 'astral guide'. Dr Pearl helped to remove the last blockage ...
My own negative beliefs and the fear of judgment (from people like those that I have read the negative reviews from) was the last obstacle that prevented the merging - the full reconnection - with that part of my'self' - until now.

I realised the GIFT always comes in our own personal, unique way. I have my way, you have yours..
One is for sure, whatever is your unique way, The Reconnection can bring it about!

For those of you who wrote the funny negative reviews: you know there is one picture that comes to my mind: God is giving you PERSONALLY the greatest gift ever and he/she is smiling and teasing you: "Here it is. ALL you ever wanted plus that you couldn't even imagine. All is yours. Would you accept it or you refuse it just because you want to keep your pre-judgment about what kind of 'wrapping paper' should I have put it in?"

You know, I can't believe what some of you 'hear' from this book...where on earth did you get the idea that Dr Pearl is 'claiming' to be special? What he is actualy saying is just that WE ALL ARE EXTREMLY SPECIAL. Special and dear to our Creator..
Including YOU who wrote those cynical reviews...

The GIFT is for each one of us in the most personalised and most unique way..and yet it is brought about in the easiest possible and most accessible way. Equally for all. With such simplicity, love, humility and wonder...It really can't be more perfect than that!

Amazing what kind of excuses some of you come up with for not receiving it - and judging and blaming it's 'bringer'...please leave alone the messenger and LOOK AT THE MESSAGE!

This New Age information is a must for all of those looking forward to the end of the Old World and the start of the New World. Very interesting. I agree with about 90% of what the author is saying.

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.

I was drawn to this title as I have a strong interest in healing. Many of the experiences the author mentions may sound weird, however just because something is unknown to us, doesn't necessarily mean it is weird. It is simply unusual and not common knowledge. It is strange, yet interesting. I have encountered similar experiences with body work, both personally and I've seen clients have radical experiences and unusual reactions. (I use the Body Stress Release Technique -my teachers were also ex-chiropractors). With my particular work, you hardly touch your client (they are fully clothed) and yet the results can be profound. I always thought the nervous system caused the release of stress/pain/trauma, but after reading this book it makes sense to me that it goes deeper than just a physical release, it is an energetic reaction or shift in energy. It is difficult to understand dynamic healing, but this book helped me better understand the miracle of self-healing. It takes sensitivity and intuition to "touch" the energy system of body, mind, and spirit. I still don't fully understand the language of the human energy system, but this book helped me realise that the "language" exists. I read Dr Pearl's autobiography - The Reconnection - Heal Others, Heal Yourself in one day and found it awe inspiring.

This entire book could be a case study in how to write a book that abounds with glaring contradictions on every page. I can't go into any lengthy detail but if you read the book that will become readily evident.

There is one contradiction that especially stands out. The author said that by taking nutritional supplements, herbs, etc that you are only affirming your belief to the universe that you are not complete and perfect all by yourself and that by simply taking these nutrients you are keeping yourself in a sickened state.

Wow, are you kidding me? So, I guess every time I eat food, I am affirming to the universe that I am not enough on my own and that I need food to survive? I guess every time that I take a breath, I am acknowledging that I am not completely perfect and self-sufficient but that I need oxygen in order to continue biologically living?

Oh yeah, later on in the book, he states that he recommends that people explore the potential of nutrition in helping their diseases.

I guess he forgot that he said about anything that is outside of yourself sought as treatment you will only reinforce the fact that "you are not enough" and that "you are not complete" and will keep you in a constant state of sickness.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this book if you have any self respect at all.
