We spend our lives being seduced by the outside world, believing without question that happiness and suffering come from “out there.” In reality, Buddhist teachings explain that they come from the way we perceive and interpret things, not the things themselves.
This deeply held misconception is at the root of our dissatisfaction, self-doubt, anger, depression, anxiety, and the rest. But our minds can change. By becoming deeply familiar with the workings of our own cognitive processes through introspection and learning to deconstruct them – truly, being our own therapists – we can loosen the grip of these neuroses and grow our marvelous potential for contentment, clarity, and courage, which are at the core of our being.

This is an “informal” concentrated summary of some of the core concepts of Bashar, based on innumerable recordings of his talks, and reading his two books “Quest for Truth” and “Bashar: Blueprint for Change”.
Bashar is a male member of a 5th dimensional civilization called the Essassani. The Essassani civilization is based on unconditional love, ecstasy, fun, following your excitement, being totally non-judgemental, and giving validity and equality to the uniqueness of each individual in the society. Bashar, as experienced from the recordings, is extremely enthusiastic – almost to the point of seeming cartoon-like. And yet he has an incredibly fast mind, an amazing wit, a loving heart, and of course a profound understanding of reality!
Bashar is channeled throughDarryl Anka.
The basic Blueprint of the Structure of Existence1 You exist. (I AM) 2 The All is one, and the One is all. 3 What you put out is what you get back. 4 The only constant in the universe is change – except for the first 3 postulates, which never change.
1 You exist. (I AM)
If you exist now, your existence is eternal:
You have always existed and you always will exist. You may change form,
but you are existing always . So…..relax…..you’ll be around forever.
2 The All is one, and the One is all.
Just as each tiny section of a hologram contains the information for the entire
hologram, likewise we are all inter-connected.
Everything is truly just one totally-interconnected “thing”.
3 What you put out is what you get back.
Physical reality is actually a mirror: Your physical reality is just a reflection of
what you most strongly believe to be true. And like a mirror, physical reality
will not change unless you change first (change what you most strongly believe).
4 The only constant in the universe is change – except for the first 3 postulates, which never change.
So…..might as well get used to eternally-changing Creation.
Enjoy the ride! Surf the changes!
