Connection: The Discovery of a Soul System tells the true story of two men, brought together through synchronicity, who embark on a project to communicate with a mind from beyond our physical world. Connection follows Brough Perkins, a psychic medium who has appeared regularly in Canadian mainstream media, and paranormal experimenter John Topp, as they forge a bond and open the door to a new endeavour in mediumistic contact. Through these encounters, the reader is given access to extraordinary insights from a non-physical entity, on the nature of evolution, relationships, and the spirit realm, as well as sketches of a future for humanity as a space travelling race. As the relationship develops, the voice, speaking through Perkins and in dialogue with Topp, reveals an identity connecting it to the ancient history of our world.
Brough Perkins has been a professional psychic medium since the age of sixteen. Through thousands of readings spanning twenty years, he has honed his ability to provide accurate information and guidance to his clients and compassionately deliver messages from their loved ones who have passed on. Brough has demonstrated his talents in live appearances on mainstream Canadian media, including MuchMusic, CBC, and CHUM-FM. Brough's abilities were tested and affirmed in the study Medium7: Evidence of the Afterlife and Predictions by criminologist Donna Smith-Moncrieffe. In 2016, Brough was profiled on popular investigative news program W5, where his client, molecular biologist Christian Smith, said of him, "He definitely does have an ability to pick up things that are not publicly available."
John Topp is a former contributor to the online magazine Reality Sandwich and to the Evolver community, where he wrote about his own experiences and leading group experiments involving dreams, synchronicity, and the paranormal. John has amassed hundreds of audio recordings of non-physical voices through experiments in electronic voice phenomenon (EVP). In 2015, John and Brough Perkins began holding psychic channelling sessions. Connection: The Discovery of a Soul System is the first of a series of books documenting this work. John is a father of two and works in the field of digital user experience and technology. A lifelong musician, he currently releases original music under the name Hazy Smog.
