    Finally - His story beautifully presented!

    Been familiar with his channeling for years.

    Liked him and Bashar from the first time I experienced them. This a long time in coming and a great rendering of the whole "idea"! Very professional! Very artistic visually and musically as well! Thank you!!!

    Truthful!

    The teachings of Bashar have changed my life in miraculous ways! This is the greatest thing I have ever encountered! Hundreds of thousands of synchronicities have happened in my life! It is by far the most positive type of spiritual teachings I have ever encountered. Yes, multidimensional, yes, extraterrestrials - there are countless people who have made contact if you know how to research - maybe hundred of thousands or even millions. At first I was skeptical, and as years went by, guided by synchronicities, my belief grew stronger and as it grew stronger even more miracles happened. Thank you Darryl Anka and Bashar Communications!

    Rubbish

    Unwatchable.

    I believe in UFOs and aliens, but not this nonsense. It's a mockery.

    Not for everyone...sadly

    Watching this and taking in all that info is not easy (as some of the reviews here demonstrate). It is necessary to have already gathered a certain amount of spiritual maturity, understanding of who you are, and generally have an open mind.

    I've been on this path for over 3 decades, but only recently found out about Anka/Bashar. The information shared reflects what I have found out by myself through studying (mental level) and more importantly through direct experience (spiritual level).

    This has nothing to do with a "cult" or "demonic possession" as some hardcore Christians would like you to believe. This is about remembering who you are and putting yourself in the context of a much larger and more encompassing reality.

    Sure, not everyone is ready for this and that's fine. It's just a pity that those who are not, are always those who try to deny, ridicule and flat-out dismiss anything beyond their limited horizon.

    Such is life.

    Another point of view

    It is the story of Darryl Anka a man who channels an alien entity called Bashar. Still, the important thing in the film is not the story of Darryl but the things that Bashar is actually talking about. For a spiritual seeker these things seem and sound truthful and helpful. You can believe or not Darryl's story but it doesn't make a difference and no one should stay in just the story. The things Bashar is talking about are very powerful and intriguing and welcome everyone to examine life in so many perspectives and possibilities. Darryl is just a messenger of these words and as the saying goes, do not shoot the messenger. It was excited.
