Gary Renard is the author of the a book The Disappearance of the Universe, a book that recounts a series of unusual encounters. These encounters, asserts Renard, were a series of 17 encounters with what he refers to as two seemingly embodied 'ascended masters'. The book describes Renard's alleged series of encounters with this pair over the course of nine years, from 1992 until just after the World Trade Center Disaster of 2001. According to Renard, the two 'ascended masters' identified themselves as Pursah and Arten, and claimed to have once been disciples of Jesus under the names Thomas and Thaddeus. 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, A Course In Miracles (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 what is presented in his book also contradicts standard scientific and historical notions, for instance in the claims that humans migrated to Earth from Mars, and from another planet before that, or that human behavior is controlled by swirling masses of electromagnetic energy.

After experiencing this series of alleged 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 book.

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. Due to the recent significant changes in his personal life, the publication of his third book, "Love Has Forgotten No One" has been delayed since April of 2008, but is tentatively scheduled for distribution by Hayhouse in early 2011. In his Episode 39 podcast, Renard also notes that he is already embarking upon the editing of a fourth book, title to be disclosed.

Renard is also currently active in an ongoing global speaking tour, where he typically fields random questions from his audiences live. For the last two or three years, Renard has also participated in annual cruises, where he meets daily with his cruise guests.
