Serge Raynaud de la Ferriere
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Serge Raynaud de la Ferrière (18 January 1916 – 27 December 1962) was a French religious philosopher.
He was born in Paris, France, the son of Georges Constantine Louis Raynaud, who was an engineer, and Virginie Marie Billet.[citation needed]
His parents moved to Brussels, Belgium when he was two years old, and his mother died there when he was only five years of age.
He studied at several lower schools, and attended the Université Catholique de Louvain where he graduated as a mining engineer in the footsteps of his father and grandfather [sorry, the Université Catholique of Louvain has denied he was a student there]. (There is some question, however, about the actual educational attainments of de la Ferrière (Spanish)). Although he grew up and studied in Belgium he would return to his native France in his early twenties. [he returned to France when he was released from the army, in 1940. This data is registered in the military files.In 1941, he met Louise Baudin to whom he was married in 1944, and with whom he travelled to America, in 1947].
He founded the Universal Great Brotherhood in 1948 in Caracas, Venezuela. It is an organization devoted to merging science, art, and religion.[2].


The Life and Education
At an early age, Serge engaged in para-scientific investigations[citation needed]. He demonstrated an interest in psychology, and began investigating man's relationship with the universe, ancient cultures, linguistics, philosophy, medicine, theology, parapsychology, esoterism and metaphysical studies.[citation needed]
During World War II, he returned to France and worked as a psychologist and began his research into the sciences of astronomy and astrology.
