About Us
Engineering meets Psychology ... plus ...
We created our company, Global Enlightening Enterprise Inc., to support individuals, organizations, and communities to go beyond themselves to have powerful, sustainable impacts in our world.
People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.
