Darryl Anka (1951–) is a spiritual medium and kook who claims to channel an enlightened extraterrestrial entity named Bashar. He is also the cousin of 1960s teen idol Paul Anka.

Anka describes Bashar as being from an alternate dimensional planet located 500 light-years away in the direction of the Orion constellation, called Essassani. Anka presents "Bashar" in open and private sessions around the world, where Anka appears to be in an altered state of consciousness and open dialogue occurs with an attending audience.

Bashar

In an interview with "Waking Universe," Anka recalled how in 1973 he had a "close encounter of the first kind" with a black triangular UFO:

I had close-range, broad-daylight sightings of UFOs with witnesses present both times. At each sighting we saw a dark metallic, triangular craft about 30 feet on each side. There were three blue-white lights, one on each "point", and one orange-red light in the center. The craft in the first sighting was about 150 feet away; in the second sighting, only about 60 feet away.

After the encounter, Anka began researching UFOs and the paranormal. Ten years later, he met a channeller and began to study the practice. Anka claims that through this practice, he became attuned to an extraterrestrial presence named Bashar.

Anka describes Bashar as existing in a parallel reality, in a time frame that we perceive as the future. Anka's monologues and dialogues with Bashar cover a wide range of topics, including spirituality, planetary advancement, sacred geometry, metaphysics and extraterrestrial life. Bashar supposed reasons for contact (or rather Anka's claim about Bashar's motives) is that:

We are interacting with you to share certain perspectives that may give you an opportunity to see within yourself more of what it is you contain, to know more about yourselves, to allow us to reflect to you certain ideas you may already know but, perhaps as a civilization, have forgotten about.

Anka has "revealed" Bashar's Five Laws of Creation, which he claims are intended to assist humanity in recognizing its true nature and function:

1. You exist
2. Everything is here and now
3. The One is All, and the All are One.
4. What you put out is what you get back
5. Everything changes except the first 4 laws

Events

Anka markets a series of "educational" events to the public focused on spreading the word of Bashar's messages. Ironically, one event scheduled to be held in Las Vegas was entitled "Going M.A.D. *Mass Agreement Dissociation" where, for $99 per person one could learn how to "go beyond the limitations of the mass consensus reality".

Career

When not channeling space aliens, Anka has worked as a visual and special effects designer for such films as Star Trek: The Motion Picture, I, Robot, Pirates of the Caribbean, Live Free or Die Hard and Iron Man.

He occasionally appears as a guest speaker in conferences about the paranormal. Anka appeared in the 2008 documentary, Tuning In, alongside other notable channelers such as Lee Carroll.

More recently, Anka wrote and directed a fictional documentary about the afterlife called Dearly Departed through his production company, Zia Films. Anka is currently producing a documentary called First Contact, about channeling and extraterrestrial contact, based on his two UFO sightings.

In popular culture

Indian progressive rock band Motherjane released a single, "Clay Play", in January 2015, based on Anka's character Bashar. Said drummer John Thomas:

Bashar is a collective and Anka channels info from the netherworld. I did research into this and found the discourse very inspiring. I shared the idea with vocalist Vivek Thomas who found it equally appealing. What we aim is to pass on this fascinating source of wisdom called ‘channelled material’ to our people. Bashar teaches us to take life lightly. It says that, lighter the approach, more the chances of desired result. It is this idea that we relay through ‘Clay Play’.
