Gary Renard
Gary Renard is the author of the a book The Disappearance of the Universe, a book that recounts a series of somewhat unusual encounters. These encounters, asserts Renard, were a series of 17 encounters with what he refers to as two fully embodied 'ascended masters'. The book is based on the premise that Renard experienced this series of encounters over the course of 9 years, from 1992 until just after the World Trade Center Disaster of 2001. These encounters were allegedly with two 'ascended masters' who identified themselves as Pursah and Arten. The teachings as allegedly taught by these two ascended masters are strongly supportive of, and harmonious with, the teachings of the book, A Course In Miracles. Apparently as a result of this series of encounters, Renard has since significantly redirected his primary energies from being a successful musician and investor into primarily being a spokesperson and teacher for the teachings of A Course In Miracles, and to also promoting his popular book, The Disappearance of the Universe.
Considering the highly unusual claim made by this book, it is notable that it is quite difficult to find anything but positive reviews of this book.
