“Where do mythological images, stories, and art forms come from? Why do some ancient symbols lose their potency over time and others endure?  Most importantly, is it possible for we moderns to access the body of wisdom that inspired the monumental works of ancient people?

In LENS, artist, architect and world traveler Lawrence Schechter addresses these mysteries, not by way of explanation, but rather through insight and demonstration of the evolution of his own artistic development.  As the author opens to the truth and lessons of his life experience, the timeless correspondences between myth, personal history, and artistic expression begin to emerge. The novel, part autobiographical and part imaginary, is itself a retrospective, an unwinding, so to speak, of the author’s insight into a multi-level process; the reader is witness to the unfolding as it occurs.  LENS is myth in the making and will inspire artists to take a deeper dive into the origins and revelations of their own creative processes.”

“LENS: A Journey Beyond Time and Self

In LENS, visionary author and architect Lawrence Schechter takes us on an extraordinary quest that defies the boundaries of memory, perception, and identity. What begins with an unexpected encounter in a mirror spirals into a multilayered exploration of clairvoyance, cosmic recognition, and the whispered truths of aquatic messengers that spans sacred sites, ancient civilizations, and universal geometries, offering a unique perspective that will intrigue and satisfy your curiosity. From the solstice-lit chambers of Chartres to the spiraled wisdom of Newgrange, the narrative merges architectural insight with esoteric revelation, offering readers not just a story but an invitation to reawaken spiritual vision and embark on a journey of personal growth.

With sketches, dialogue from timeless guides, and a LENS that sees beneath the surface of reality, this book is a synthesis of sacred memory, spiritual science, and profound personal metamorphosis that will empower and motivate you. Where you once saw walls, you will now perceive portals. Where time felt linear, you’ll discover its harmonic spiral. This is not merely a book—it’s a transformative journey, an invitation to a new frontier that will inspire and fill you with hope.”
