Bashar: “First Contact” Documentary Premiere Narrated by Hollywood Actor James Woods

[KiwiElf]

We are happy to announce the premiere of our Bashar documentary, “First Contact”!

Zia Films and Bashar Communications are now working to bring this unique, groundbreaking film to a theater near you! First Contact, narrated by legendary actor James Woods, tells the true story of Darryl Anka’s UFO encounter that led him to channel an extraterrestrial entity called Bashar who delivers powerful messages to humanity.

The film explores channeling and the potential positive impact of ET contact on our society.

This is a bit odd.

The man (James Woods) has an IQ, on paper, of near 180.

This does not jibe with his public persona. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woods)

(Wikipedia has zero mention of his IQ)

Famous people with the highest known IQs (17 Photos) (http://thechive.com/2012/09/05/famous-people-with-the-highest-known-iqs-16-photos/)

As a simple confirmation (nth time), to myself (thinking out loud), this puts me in the 180+ range. (for example, a good friend did ~10 years of university, and I can out think him in a heartbeat. But, as usual, it depends. On the subject, the mood, the health; many factors are involved in the given moment)

from the IQ link:

IQ of 87: Unskilled workers (no special training or special skills)
IQ of 92: Semi-skilled workers (truck drivers, factory workers etc)
IQ of 101: Skilled workers (clerical workers, sales professionals, electricians, craftsmen and foremen etc)
IQ of 104: Managers and administrators (received 1-3 years of college education in a specific field)
IQ of 112: Professional or technical workers (estate agents, surveyors, environmental or forensic scientists, educators etc)
IQ of 125: Lawyers, doctors (PhDs, JDs, MDs)
IQ of 135: Neurosurgeons, research scientists, university professors

^^ I consider the last, the "135" line, to be 'barely adequate'.... and finally warming up to someone I can have a real conversation with. I regularly stump and astound university professors and university (sciences) department heads. I can, almost without exception -solve any fundamental physics question that is put in front of me... If I deem the answer is not dangerous to the motion of humanity, at that given time. (all done on the fly, in seconds)

It's a lonely life. Almost all conversations for me are opportunities for sad dark comedy. The only way to stay sane.


Back to my point. James woods doing this, raises questions. Questions most people will miss.

[KiwiElf]

At the end of the day, James Woods is just a paid actor making a scripted presentation. (No offense James,.. you're a cool guy and terrific actor,... smart, too! :)). I'm more interested in the information being imparted from Darryl/Bashar myself ;)

[Carmody]

Well, High IQ is no guarantee of being universally smart across all potential avenues and scenarios. It can merely seem that - from a safe distance. High IQ can be and generally is -- a lopsided affair.

My point is that James woods is aware enough, wise enough, experienced enough that he would not pee on and scent mark that particular tree, without some form of knowing what is going on. He would not do it for the money, in my estimation. Thus, it's being done for some other given purpose. Given his prior associations, it becomes very much a potential complexity and question. (Eg, James apparently endorsed Ted Cruz!)

I'm not saying good or bad; whatever one's position may be. It's just an important anomaly that must be noted and held, until clarity emerges -If it (clarity) ever does, at all.

[raff]

I'm glad that I don't have a high IQ level. I think that the most stupidest, stupidest people I've ever met on this earth are people with higher IQ than myself. I enjoy an intelligent mind but reel from stupid, closed minded people because they are unable to see beyond what they have been indoctrinated in..oops! educated by the corporate mindset. I'm glad I'm not clever ha ha hi hi hoo hoo!
Although this is not a reply to your comment rather the supposition it was based on.

Thanks for calling me "barely adequate" ... a**hole. :) Might as well not even speak to us simpletons ... <- in jest of course ;)

I don't think that the narrator having a particularly high I.Q. throws up red flags - he's just the narrator. Having a high I.Q. often means you can get through the answers quickly (as time is a component in IQ tests), (as in well practiced in all types of logic and reasoning), and is not an indicator of knowledge, life skills , or a million other things. People put far too much emphasis on those IQ scores ... They don't indicate any intentions or inclinations, talent or personal direction whatsoever. Look at Dolph Lundgren, Does he not have a master's in chemical engineering and an IQ of 160? Yet he became an actor playing roles of big dumb muscle his whole life because he loves acting, and he's a big muscular guy. I certainly wouldn't be out there shouting red flags on Dolph if he narrated the video with an IQ of 160 ... sometimes people do what they love to do and their IQ is irrelevant -- wait .. IQ is almost always irrelevant ...

Speaking of sad, dark comedy...

[LivioRazlo]

I know what you mean. I have taken numerous IQ tests and the results fall within the 130-140 range for me. When trying to start intellectual dialog with others in my circle of influence, I leave them in the dust as they are not interested or don't care for what I have to say. PA is the only place where I can find nourishment for my brain.

Barely adequate too eh? ;)

But seriously ... I am ever searching for intelligent people to talk with (probably why I ended up at Avalon) ... it doesn't matter their IQ much, as far as I can tell, but man, most people these days are an inch shallow I find .... that said, I do occasionally find wonderfully awake and intelligent people in the least expected places at times ...

[Ciaran]

Regardless of peoples IQs, or what James Woods involvement is with this project, i just can't bring myself to accept this Bashar dude, something just doesn't sit right with me, anytime i have seen his vids or listened to him i just get an overwhelming sense of bull****, my internal spider sense is screaming at me to turn this **** over…

In the main I agree with you DeDukshyn
To my mind the most important things are respect of and skill with people---at one point most successful people (Millionaires) had left school at 15 years of age-lived initially in relatively small towns.
As far as Bashar goes--what comes through is in line with the teaching of modern--non-duality mystics.
Many things can have a positive effect without necessary being literately true.

The little I have read--heard of Bashar channelling would seem to fit what I believe to be so.

IQ of 135: Neurosurgeons, research scientists, university professors

^^ I consider the last, the "135" line, to be 'barely adequate'.... and finally warming up to someone I can have a real conversation with.

Methinks this is the perfect place for this article: http://www.sott.net/article/317135-Traits-of-extremely-smart-people-that-have-nothing-to-do-with-IQ

"They Are Not Afraid To Be Wrong

Truly intelligent people understand that mistakes happen and that's alright. A smart individual will actively reign in his or her ego, admitting fault and occasionally stupid decisions. "

At this level of reality, it is the ego which is most 'in charge'. It takes a good amount of self-control to reign in this trait, which is heavily embedded in Western culture.

The problem with
IQ of 135: Neurosurgeons, research scientists, university professors is that I've personally found them to be rather narrow-minded as a whole. (Caveat: I have not actually met a great deal of them).

LOL - urrr the topic was Bashar's movie but I don't mind the tangent - it's quite fascinating ;)

I've met more than a few.

The initial situation can be imposing and of being impressed. This moves to the perception of, possibly... varied and wide communication. Then we many times find the problem: When the box is larger, the images on the walls can be painted further away from the central ego component, and the floor/backdrop can be filled with objectifications which garner the impression of depth and variety. Ie, an open world of change and color. But really, like a film set with ~just enough~ depth, the trees and rocks make the myopic camera see what appears to be a deep unending forest. When pressured via reaching one of their box boundaries and poking the cardboard until it begins to crinkle....you can find out if they live in the box - or understand it's presence and look to expand it. A large box can mean a lot of fear, and room to move and engage in combat from within the box.

This is true, in it's own analogous way, for almost anyone you might encounter, but the visualization, or sensing of the box with the more intelligent, is generally more of a challenge. Depends. IMO & IME.

This, of course, is only relevant when doing a run down test on the given ego structure. Which is a bit of a clinical thing to be doing and a notable breach of one's privacy. Once one is good at it, it can be done in as little as a few minutes. Not a good thing to be doing, as it can render the given person outside of further contact.

That website is so rough on the eyes. When it comes to design, those color combinations are a huge no-no in general. That's the problem with a lot of the alternative media sites. They immediately look hokey to the outsider thus resulting in not being taken seriously. Beyond that, the doc could be interesting even though it's probably the result of Bashar having multiple personality disorder.

[DbDraad]

On IQ, it's only a way of measuring intelligence, and not fool proof. You can be clever and measure a low IQ, but stupid people can't score high. It's a good indication, but still only an indication.
