Daryl Anka has been channeling an extraterrestrial hybrid entity called Bashar for 41 years, delivering messages about humanity’s upcoming transformation, the imminent disclosure of extraterrestrial contact (2026–2027), and practical spiritual principles for navigating the shift. The conversation covers his origin story, the mechanics of channeling, who Bashar is, the cosmic context for Earth’s current moment, and the practical wisdom Bashar offers for individuals and civilization.
Daryl’s Origin: From UFO Sightings to Channeling
In 1973, Daryl had two close-range UFO sightings over Los Angeles — the first at ~150 feet, the second at ~70 feet — both broad daylight, both with witnesses, both involving a silent black equilateral triangular craft that moved in ways that defied known physics.
The sightings shattered his understanding of reality and sent him on a decade-long research journey into UFOs, psychic phenomena, and channeling (including the Seth material).
In 1984, during a guided meditation in a channeling class, he experienced what he describes as a “telepathic hit” — a sudden download of information including the word “Bashar” (Arabic), the face of the being, and the memory of a pre-incarnation agreement to do this work. Another classmate independently sketched the same face he saw in his mind.
He began practicing, was soon asked to co-teach and then teach his own classes, met his wife, and was recruited by a psychology student studying channeling — word of mouth grew from 5 people to international events over 41 years.
What Channeling Feels Like & What Happens in the Brain
Daryl describes the energy as immense: “like trying to shove Hoover Dam through a garden hose.” The words are already fully formed — he is a translation device, not a composer. He never plans or edits what comes through.
An EEG study (done for a documentary) showed his baseline brain state at 9 Hz. When Bashar speaks through him, it shifts to 10 Hz; when Bashar listens, it goes to 11 Hz — interpreted as an empathic state of listening more intently than speaking.
The channeling state corresponds to gamma brain waves (40–100 Hz), the same state people enter when doing what they love, being “in the zone,” or losing track of time. Everyone channels in this sense; Daryl’s brain has been trained to access it on demand.
Initially exhausting (first two years), it now energizes him. Sessions last 90 minutes to 2 hours but feel like 20 minutes to him. He remembers only snippets of concepts, not the words.
Who Is Bashar?
Bashar presents as a physical extraterrestrial hybrid being — a 50/50 genetic blend between humans and the “grays.” He is about 5’ tall, slender, with larger eyes, smaller ears/nose/mouth, and a slightly larger head. Males are hairless; females have white hair.
He exists in a parallel reality — his solar system would be ~500 light-years in the direction of Orion if you could overlay his universe onto ours, but you cannot see it unless you shift into his vibrational reality.
He is a “first contact specialist” — essentially a diplomat-psychologist whose role is to help humanity understand why we do what we do, why we believe what we believe, and how to change constructively. He is not a physicist; his expertise is in consciousness and behavior.
Bashar has a distinct personality and sense of humor, a different cadence and countenance from Daryl — others who have channeled him (temporarily, to help them start) confirm the same personality comes through different people, including once through a Japanese woman.
The Cosmic Context: Why Now?
2026 is the year of disclosure — not just UFO disclosure, but the surfacing of many long-hidden truths (“airing the dirty laundry”) so humanity can consciously choose what kind of world it wants.
2027 is predicted for open contact — an official public introduction to extraterrestrials, corroborated by multiple psychic mediums. This will unfold in phases: first more documentation and proof of craft, then an official presentation, then gradual integration over decades.
Bashar’s civilization is ~3,000 years more advanced than ours. They are a hybrid race created because the original “grays” destroyed their world, mutated to survive, lost the ability to reproduce, and needed viable human DNA from parallel realities to perpetuate their culture.
They see us making the same mistakes — environmental destruction, inability to cooperate globally, existential-risk technology — and are intervening to help us avoid their fate. As Daryl puts it: “It’s time for the adults to step in.”
Earth is described as a “tough school” — a planet of extreme polarities where souls come to learn how to transform negative into positive, darkness into light. The intensity of the current moment reflects that we’ve reached a threshold where we could annihilate the planet, which is not permitted because Earth is too valuable a place for soul growth.
The Mechanics of Reality & the Soul
You are a soul, not a body that has a soul. The soul is a sphere of energy full of vibrational patterns representing concepts. Incarnation is the soul focusing a few of those patterns into a dense core — the “seed” that is the physical person. As you learn and grow, you soften that focus and expand back toward the full soul, exhibiting more psychic and spiritual abilities.
Everything exists here and now. Time and space are illusions. Locations have signature frequencies; travel (including interstellar) works by shifting vibrational resonance — isolating from one reality and imposing the frequency of another location.
By agreement, by telepathic/vibrational agreement, souls create shared physical reality. The table, the book, the computer — all are props created in consciousness for the purpose of the experience.
You are unconditionally loved by creation — so much so that you can even choose to believe you are not loved. That is the extent of free will. Souls are eternal; everyone will eventually “get it,” even if not in this lifetime.
Core Principles from Bashar (“The Formula”)
The highest purpose for your life is to be yourself — to the best of your ability, living each moment as fully as possible. Most suffering comes from denying who you are in order to fit in, belong, or survive.
Follow your passion — this raises your vibrational frequency, which makes you a better receiver for higher-frequency information and abilities. From Bashar’s perspective, this is physics: you cannot perceive what you are not the vibration of.
Everything can serve double duty — it doesn’t matter what happens; it matters what you do with what happens. Every experience, even suffering, can be used as fuel for growth.
Existence is all that there is — everything is an expression of it. Everything exists here and now. Everything is determined by resonance. Everything changes except the laws of existence.
Redefine abundance — it’s not just money. Synchronicity, gifts, trade, communication, imagination, time, and space are all forms of abundance. Allow all forms to be equally valid, and they work together to provide 100% abundance.
Practical Applications & Life Changes
Spontaneous healing: A healer never heals anyone directly. They emit a vibrational frequency representing the healed state; the person must choose to match that frequency and heal themselves. If healing doesn’t occur, there may still a lesson to learn — for the individual or for those around them.
Addiction is trying to fill an emptiness, a disconnection from source — either numbing it or trying to fill a “god-shaped hole” with something that never will.
Everyone has a spirit team — sometimes hundreds of beings, with 2-3 main guides who have specific expertise for your situation. Guardian angels (“birth angels”) keep you alive until you’ve agreed to leave. You can always talk to them; they help you figure out how to do things yourself, not do them for you.
Creative practice is important as a spiritual connection, but so is grounded, practical work — both use both sides of the brain and connect you to awareness.
Raising vibration for intuition: Follow your passion → raise vibrational frequency → become a better antenna → access higher-frequency information and abilities. Once a civilization (or individual) builds enough positive momentum, it becomes genuinely difficult to choose negatively — the inertia carries you forward.
Daryl’s Personal Life & Relationship with Bashar
He describes the relationship as a work partnership, not a dependency. Bashar doesn’t run his life; Daryl makes his own decisions (whether to have kids, etc.). He has channeled for about 5 hours straight at maximum, but typically 90 minutes to 2 hours.
He experiences heightened synchronicity, telepathic ability, and a “spider sense” for danger. He and Bashar also communicate in dreams — Daryl describes these as real conversations, not normal dreams.
He and his wife Valerie created an escape room in Calabasas (boggledescapes.com) as a creative business that uses the same skill sets from his film career — building sets, telling stories — but now the participants are the actors.
He is now teaching extended courses (week-long, two-week) to help people deeply absorb the principles from “The Formula: A Gift from the Future,” which will be published by St. Martin’s Press as a workbook.
Preparing for Contact
To prepare: follow the formula, raise your vibration, become vibrationally capable of interacting with higher-frequency beings. The aliens cannot be harmed by weapons (advanced technology renders this irrelevant); they view armed resistance the way an adult views a child’s tantrum — with patience, not annoyance.
Phased integration: First, hybrid extraterrestrials (who look enough like us and have been here secretly) will be revealed. Then, over decades, more alien species that look nothing like us will be introduced.
If it doesn’t happen as predicted: Daryl says more information would come through about why, but he considers it inevitable at this point.
The deepest takeaway: You already have everything you need. The information is available to everyone — channeling is not unique to Daryl. The universe is set up to support you when you align with who you really are.
