In the Seed Phase image to the right, the full spectrum of colors represents the many ways of knowing. Enlightenment happens by integrating the ways of knowing or colors of light, creating bright white light. This is in contrast to the 18th century's "Enlightenment" attained by dividing the ways of knowing. Seed Phase Cover Letter by Anthony Colombo
I have been preparing to create Enlightened Science for most of my life. When I was a young boy, I felt profound joy in experiencing a presence of deep-connectedness and magic in the world around me. I wondered why other people, adults in particular, didn't see it. At this young age, I knew something was wrong. I decided to find out how everyone got off track and then do my best to get them back on track. Accomplishing this became my own secret quest and I committed my life to it.
Anthony Colombo, the director of the Enlightened Science core creative team, brings 18 years experience in designing and producing award-winning multimedia titles for non-profits, schools, companies and other organizations.

In my quest I studied human history and earth sciences. I explored religious and spiritual teachings and worked extensively with indigenous people, receiving many affirmations and blessings in the process. I learned that what I sensed as a little boy was true - humanity got off track and to get back on track we need to integrate the more enlightened ways of viewing the world. I decided to learn and apply modern communication technologies with the specific intent of inspiring people to view the world from a more enlightened perspective.
“Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppression of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day” (Thomas Jefferson).
I intend for Enlightened Science to emerge through a collaborative discovery process, a co-creation of compelling experiences. My storyline, for the "Light Path" movie, provides an initial basis for inspiring and guiding an exceptionally innovative research and production process.
The underlying motivation for "Light Path" comes from a series of life-changing dreams that I had several years ago. In these dreams, a presence of knowing far beyond words was revealed to me.
