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.
