'''Gary Renard''' is the author of the the books '']'' (DU) and ''Your Immortal Reality'' (YIR). He also has at least two more additional books scheduled for release in 2011 and possibly 2012. In the first of his books, DU, Renard recounts a series of unusual encounters. These encounters are portrayed as a series of 17 appearances of what are referred to to as two seemingly fully embodied 'ascended masters'. This first book describes Renard's alleged series of encounters with this pair over the course of nine years, from 1992 until just after the ] of 2001. In this first book, according to Renard, the two 'ascended masters' identified themselves as Pursah and Arten, and claimed to have once been disciples of ] under the names ] and ]. Even more remarkably, Pursah is purported to be Renard himself in a future life. These two 'ascended masters' allegedly first introduced Renard to the book, '']'' (ACIM), and then assisted him to better understand that book's teachings. The philosophy and teachings as found in Renard's book are generally harmonious with and supportive of the teachings as found in ACIM. Some of his writings and activities have stirred some controversy within the ACIM community.

==Life after 1992==
After experiencing his alleged series of encounters, Renard significantly redirected his focus from being a musician and an investor into primarily being a spokesperson and teacher for his understanding of the teachings of ACIM, as well as the promotion of his books.

Renard was previously married to Karen Renard, but in 2007, they divorced. In 2009 Renard married again to musician and therapist, Cindy Lora, whom he believes to be the Arten/ Thadeus mentioned in his books. He has moved from Maine to southern California.<ref name = "ArtenRevealed">{{cite web

</ref> In his Episode 39 podcast, Renard also notes that he is already embarking upon the editing of a fourth book, title to be disclosed.

==Current teaching activities==
For the last several years Renard has engaged in an ongoing global workshop tour. In his workshops, he typically fields live random questions from his audiences, in addition to launching into longer segments of his various teachings about ACIM.<ref name = "WorkshopTour">{{cite web

==Additional controversial claims==
In addition to his first rather controversial claim to have been visited by two ''ascended masters'' Renard goes on to make further amazing claims in his writings. In his writings he clearly contradicts standard scientific and historical theory, for instance in his claim that humans migrated to Earth from Mars, and from another planet before that. In his writings Renard subscribes to the Derbyite School regarding the ], he supports the pre-canonical authorship of the ] by the disciple Thomas himself, and he claims that Jesus was indeed married!
