Gary R. Renard underwent a powerful spiritual awakening in the early 1990s. As instructed by two ascended masters who appeared to him in the flesh, he wrote his first New York Time's best-selling book, The Disappearance of the Universe, over a period of nine years. He has been described as one of the most interesting and courageous spiritual speakers in the world. He is the most recent recipient of the Infinity Foundation Spirit Award, which is given to a person who has made a meaningful contribution to personal and spiritual growth. Past recipients include Dan Millman, Ram Dass, Gary Zukav, James Redfield and Neale Donald Walsch. His new book, Love has Forgotten No One, will soon be published by Hay House, and The Disappearance of the Universe is being made into a television series.
