"Dear friends, I am honored to present to you the enlightenment thoughts that my teachers in the book The Disappearance of the Universe asked me to pass along in the form of these cards. Arten and Pursah, also known as St. Thaddeus and St. Thomas, are very happy to help lead you to an enlightened mind, and I'm honored to play my part in sharing this message." - Gary Renard

Based on his popular book The Disappearance of the Universe: Straight Talk about Illusions, Past Lives, Religion, Sex, Politics, and the Miracles of Forgiveness, Enlightenment Cards is a 72-card deck that shares incisive and timely wisdom for this age.

Each card features a thought from The Disappearance of the Universe, which can be used for contemplation, or when you feel you need a dose of sage advice from All That Is.

Some of the illuminating, irreverent wisdom found in Enlightenment Cards includes:

"The world needs another religion like it needs a bigger hole in the ozone layer."

"For God to create the imperfect either means that He was imperfect, or that He deliberately made those who were, so that they could screw up, be punished by Him, and suffer here on psycho planet."

"There isn't really anyone else out there. There is only one ego appearing as many."

"Forgiveness is where the rubber meets the road. Without forgiveness, metaphysics is useless."

"Whenever you condemn another, your salvation is off to a flying stop."

"Misery loves company, but that doesn't mean you have to accept the invitation."

"The nonsensical tragedy of duality is considered to be normal by all modern societies, which are themselves mad as a hatter."

"The people of the world will never live in peace until the people of the world have inner peace."

"You think the universe is evolving...but it's really just spinning its wheels, repeating the same pattern over and over in different forms."

"A jetliner is always going off course, but through constant correction, it arrives at its destination. So will you arrive at yours."

I've had Gary Renard's book The Disappearance of the Universe for over a year now, but haven't read it. I think I allowed a negative comment by someone who skimmed the book to influence my decision to read it. However, after looking at these cards, I knew instantly that there was truth in Enlightenment Cards. Their message is amusing, clear, penetrating, and confirming. I now look forward to reading Mr. Renard's book because of this deck.

If you'd like to transcend duality, live in peace, and correct your course, I highly recommend Enlightenment Cards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bring Enlightenment to the Conference Table, March 7, 2007

Do you want to add depth to your corporate meeting or business conference? Open or close the meeting by passing out these cards (face down), then have each participant read each card. Gary Renard's thoughts may not stick with every person in the room, but I can promise you this. Someone at your meeting will never forget the moment, and you will set yourself apart from every business leader around.

The Enlightenment Cards have a relevant purpose to enrich one's daily life...to give pause for one to reflect on one's goal for the day...to set a positive tone to today's crazy world...to complement one's spiritual life in a simple and thought-provoking manner.

I'm thinking that these cards would be an ideal aid to the teacher in the classroom or the mentor or the facilitator.

Gary Renard, at times, is very insightful on The Course in Miracles. Other times, his work is less than inspired. These cards do contain some daily tidbits of wisdom, but I question their helpfulness for most people. Taking the quotes from his books and from ACIM out of context provides some feel good ideas, but the cards don't really carry the reader toward the Real World awareness, as spoken of in ACIM.
