Divine Mirror

Mystery Meets History in the Hidden Clues of a Painting....
In 1950, Ethel Cordelia Mount purchased a small, unsigned oil painting from the Palm Beach "Il Palmetto" estate of Joseph Early Widener, one of the founding benefactors of the National Gallery of Art. This work of art remained unseen for almost 60 years, hidden behind a door in a seldom-used room of the family's home. Finally, in a moment of profound healing and forgiveness, a repentant father gives the painting to his struggling daughter.
The painting's new owner travels around the world to consult art restorers, conservators and curators. She sees patterns and symbolism, including sacred geometry and more than one layer in the tiny art work. In fact, to Debra Lynn, the painting represents a challenge and a mystery that her spiritual insight demands she decipher. Her quest finally captures the attention of Dr. Maurizio Seracini, of Da Vinci Code fame, and together they attempt to unravel a 400-year-old controversy.
As the mystery unfolds, we are invited inside the author's personal challenges with her alcoholic father and with her ingrained and inherited societal attitudes toward religion, culture, politics and gender within both marital and interpersonal relationships. The painting and her quest to solve its mystery cause Debra Lynn to pose significant questions that all of us may ask at some time in our lives: What historical truths have been buried in illusion and distortion? What guides us when one piece of the puzzle is missing? Where do we find our own center, when the playing field is not as it appears? How do we navigate life, when the beliefs we hold crumble and fall away? What does it mean to make a quantum leap in love?
In a time when humanity is facing its greatest challenges, Divine Mirror offers us hope and insight into our own true power and presence. The book leads us from the author's personal abyss, as mirrored through this mysterious work of art, through a transformative healing process. Together, we journey from tragedy to triumph, fear and failure to freedom.
Divine Mirror opens a door of discovery to our own authentic male and female balance, helping us to understand each other with greater compassion and love. In this book we encounter what the painting hints at: The Sacred Marriage, or Sixth Way Consciousness. This pathway gives us a taste of Heaven on Earth as we unfold our soul's Divine plan following the trail of hints left for us by Spirit.
