Gard bought a copy of The Urantia Book in 1972 while studying comparative religion at Stanford University. His first impression was that it was like no other book that he had been familiar with in either philosophy or religion. He says that, “Reading The Urantia Book for the first time was the beginning of a pilgrimage of discovery, the beginning of the realization that God has a will for each of our lives. This pilgrimage is the greatest adventure that one could ever imagine.”

After 25 years as a certified public accountant and financial planner, Gard returned to college to obtain a PhD in comparative religion at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California.He has published three books having to do with the epic narratives of China, India, and the West, and has been teaching Chinese and Indian philosophy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, for the last 20 years.

Gard has been a beloved trustee and treasurer of Urantia Foundation since February of 1998. He is the co-founder of the Children's Advocacy Alliance, the Interfaith Council of Southern Nevada, the Nevada Community Foundation, and with his wife, Florence, Volunteers in Medicine of Southern Nevada, a free and charitable healthcare clinic for those without access to healthcare.

Gard launched Compassionate Las Vegas for non-profit leaders working with marginalized, underserved populations. He also serves on the boards of the Global Charter for Compassion and the Alf Museum of Life in Claremont, CA. Most recently, Gard joined the board of the Jeremiah Program, a national nonprofit with one of the most successful strategies for disrupting generational poverty among single mothers and their children.

15:1.3 Urantia is situated in a local universe and a superuniverse not fully organized, and your local universe is in immediate proximity to numerous partially completed physical creations. You belong to one of the relatively recent universes. But you are not, today, plunging on wildly into uncharted space nor swinging out blindly into unknown regions. You are following the orderly and predetermined path of the superuniverse space level. You are now passing through the very same space that your planetary system, or its predecessors, traversed ages ago; and some day in the remote future your system, or its successors, will again traverse the identical space through which you are now so swiftly plunging.

Today
The search for signal still goes on.
Direct TV sings not it’s song.
It can’t work without a signal
It certainly is being fickle.

Oh well, the day will still be great.
We’re going to love our destined fate.
God’s in charge, so do not fear.
He has a plan to take us there.

We must have an open mind
Then it resonates with the Divine.
To look for good when in a mess,
Provides a Spirit with which we’re blessed.

God anticipates your needs.
He’s there when e’er your Spirit bleeds.
He tends your soul and plants some seeds.
His seeds will grow even with some weeds.

To grow to be upon this world
We must follow where we’re hurled.
We’re on track to spin and whirl
And learn from God so many pearls.

That’s the way our lives can be
If we choose to search for Ye.
Try to be as we perceive
Our best, and as we do, believe.

Thank You Father, for Your plan.
It will diffuse throughout this land.
Someday our lives will truly be
Perfected in eternity.
