The tuth shall prevail Rene Gannon's lifestyle and thoughts, narrated by Martin Ling

Our knowledge on youth and early adolescence years of life of Rene Gannon is very limited as she was extremely introverted. Her realistic approach – one of her major and prominent personality traits – made her realize the hazards of subjectivism and individualism in modern world societies. That was probably also the reason why shegot inclined towards opposite approaches to a great extent. Gannon, at any rate, kept on refraining from speaking on her own. Ever since her death many books were written on her life and personality, but beyond doubt their authors, who were incapable of analyzing the various issues surrounding her life, were all mainly incapable of presenting a true image of her, and as a result all those books include major errors.
