In this episode:

What actually happens inside the brain when someone channels—and who, or what, are they communicating with? Julie Ryan sits down with Darryl Anka, who has spent more than 40 years channeling the entity he calls Bashar, for a fascinating conversation about altered states, consciousness, UFO encounters, spirit guides, belief systems, soul purpose, and the nature of reality itself.

Darryl’s extraordinary journey began after two close-range UFO sightings in 1973. Years later, he attended a channeling class and began experiencing an intense altered state that eventually developed into his decades-long work with Bashar.

But what happens to Darryl while he’s channeling?

Darryl discusses EEG testing conducted during the making of his documentary First Contact and what he was told about changes in his brain activity while entering the channeling state. Julie shares her own experience having her brain scanned while communicating with Spirit, and together they explore whether channeling may involve measurable changes in consciousness.

Then comes an even bigger question:

Who are we actually communicating with when we channel?

Darryl shares his understanding of Bashar and describes channeling as potentially connecting with information beyond ordinary conscious awareness. Julie and Darryl compare their experiences with spirit guides, soul families, angelic beings, intuition, imagination, and altered states of consciousness.

Darryl also explains why he believes everyone experiences forms of channeling when deeply immersed in creativity or doing something they love.

The conversation then turns toward one of Bashar’s best-known teachings: following your highest excitement. Darryl explains a five-step framework for identifying what excites you, acting on it to the best of your ability, releasing attachment to the outcome, maintaining a constructive state, and examining beliefs that arise along the way.

Julie and Darryl explore how beliefs may shape perception and behavior, why people remain stuck in circumstances they consciously say they don’t want, and how identifying underlying beliefs can help change recurring patterns.

They also venture into provocative questions about physical reality, imagination, soul roles, extraterrestrial intelligence, spiritual guidance, and whether our earthly lives may have a much larger purpose than we realize.

And finally, Julie asks her signature question:

Why do we incarnate?

Darryl’s answer brings the entire conversation full circle—from knowing something intellectually to experiencing it through physical life.

Whether you believe channeling represents communication with another intelligence, spiritual guidance, or an unusual state of consciousness, this conversation offers a fascinating look at what happens when we explore the boundaries of the mind.
