What do you think about Bashar?

[Tech36363]

Daryl Anka been channeling bashar since even before i was born. And when i listen to him he sounds way ahead of his time.

Thought? 

[Soul Flight]

I think he's good. A very clear message about following your bliss or passion without expectation. It is a little similar to advice from Joseph Campbell and even Jordan Peterson. I think the advice works. Life is an adventure. You might be in poverty. But their advice brings satisfaction and peace.

Just try his stuff and see if it works. I tried and it didn't. He's the messenger of ego in my book. He promotes living a happy life within the illusion by vibraying high and attracting only the good, which will never happen in the long-run, because the universe is based on duality, so everything good will eventually leave you, die, you will die, and so on.  

He is convincing, I will give him that, but so are indian tech scammers.

Most of his teachings seems to be too vague to me and I think thats a problem, because it opens up the interpreter to misinterpret the core of the message.

For instance the 'follow your passion without any insistance or expectation on the outcome' - sounds good, but really vague.  How can you tangibly differentiate between following true passion vs being compulsive towards something (that hiding itself as a passion)?

The other example is the idea of synchronicity - that if you follow your true passion everything in your life will come together without you needing to worry about the specifics or money or anything. To me, this seems to be a potentially very dangerous advice , but besides that, this idea is an attempt to try to use it as kind of a law  to explain stange or special events (that may or may not happen in your life) , but the problem is that no grounding or justification is given for this "law" - it just put forth as an idea and you have to go with it.

The other problem is that most of his teachings seem to be unfalsifiable. 

 

Beside all that, I find it interesting that some of his stuff seem to be very similar to Leo's stuff:

1. Nothing in reality has built in meaning
2. Reality is infinitely complex, but it is not complicated.
3. Permission slips

The third one is especially interesting:

Quote

The ultimate point is to understand that you're the one giving yourself permission to change, so ultimately you finally realize you're the ultimate permission slip. You don't ultimately need any tool, any technique, any particular object in order to make the changes that you prefer to make. You can just get to the point where you decide this is what you prefer and you change and that's all there is to it. 
You become the ultimate permission slip;  You become the ultimate meditation;  You become the ultimate technique

I like Bashar and Daryl Anka and some of his teachings. Don't know about the permission slips though what are we back in high school? And why would a so-called hybrid human-alien from another parallel Earth in the future need to teach the likes of Abraham- hicks?

a good con artist, fell for his bullshit right after abraham's con artist scheme

 

just use logic to achieve your goals, it won't fail you, general positive guidelines from self help is plenty to get real results

The point of poetic descriptions of reality is to leave a certain openness for you to come to your own conclusions.

Yeah I understand that and I can agree that it can be really effective and valid when it comes to talking about certain things that cannot be conveyed in normal logic (like talking about the absolute or infinity) - but when it comes to relative domain stuff, I think we should strive to be as strict and clear as we possibly can, without being loose with our words.

What Bashar is doing is more like a spiritual sock puppet show.

I sort of agree with this as well (and I mostly tream him as an entertainer), however the problem is that Bashar doesn't act like an entertainer, he acts and conveys himself as an actual guru/teacher (someone who delivers actual knowledge/teachings) and that could be problematic.

He makes a ton of descriptive claims about reality and about spirituality as well.

For example the 5 laws:

Quote

1)You exist
2)Everything is here and now (time doesn't exist in a linear way)
3)The One is the all , the all are the One
4)What you put out is what you get back
5)Everything changes except these 5 laws

@Tech36363 seems legit.
 

If we were to actually test if he was real we would need to set up a test. I recon the best test apart from him straight up predicting the future would be. 
 

Asking him a question that would take one minute to state and one minute for the answer. The question would be the most difficult that one could think. I thought of a few like “explain the process of protein folding as an expert under a minute” or “explain the chaneraekhar limit and all the variables with in it”. These are actually very easy questions think of the hardest you can possibly ask that you know can be worked out. From that we can set ask him and if he answers in a manner which is truely in human. We can find work with the fact he is telling the truth.
 

Also we can be still steptickal even is he seems in-human.  

[ChrisZoZo]

I would recommend for the average man to just take his teaching and see how well it works for you but that requires a high amount of trust you really can’t half ass his teachings. 

[zurew]

I find it refreshing though, that he is not bought into every position (mostly conspiracy theories), that most new age people blindlessly bought into.

Even though if he is a grifter, it would be convenient for him to just go balls to the wall with all those conspiracy theories (cause most of his audience is aligned with them).  For example, he rejected the vaccine conspiracy stuff and if I remember correctly, he has reasonable takes on institutions as well. I saw him losing some portion of his audience after they realised he is pro covid vaxx.

Basically, - based on what I have seen about his stuff-  it seems to me, that he usually has nuanced takes and not ideologically driven takes.

For some reason, i cannot really "buy" this channelling shit. Seems fake and lame but reading some comments and learning that he refused to embrace conspiracy theories, i respect him a bit.

I think it’s for show
