Who (or what) is Bashar?

(If you are not acquainted with metaphysical concepts, extraterrestrials, or spiritual entities, you might just want to move on. Otherwise, read and learn.)

First of all, the word “Bashar” is defined as “messenger” or bearer of good news.

The particular Bashar I reference here is an entity representing a group of wise extraterrestrials who, speaking as one, impart wisdom through a man named Darryl Anka.

A Google search will take you to dozens of videos and articles about Darryl Anka and Bashar, as well as several websites for really deep dives and the 40-year history of this undertaking. In addition, there are several ticketed events each year where audiences pose their own questions to Bashar/Darryl. The events are recorded and segments often appear on YouTube. This is where I found him about a year ago.

I have to say that I am not fond of the “click-bait” headlines that accompany many of these videos. Apparently this is a common practice, since I see it used on Next Level Soul and other podcasts. The shrieking headline might be something like “Achieve Your Dreams Today” or “Get Rich by Friday” and I guess that gets attention. It’s all about the marketing, right?

However, if you can get past the headline, knowing that it has little to do with the actual content, you will find helpful and simple common-sense information. If humankind ever needed some guidance, it is certainly now. Most of us are desperately paddling through unexpected territory, due to the daily onslaught of rapid-fire craziness.
