The Trigger-meter — Sir Ego's Heat Index

Where are you on the meter?

Think of something that triggers you. A person. A situation. That thing that fired last week and you're still carrying. Where do you land?

That spot on the meter is your entry point. The Five Steps meet you right there.

Your heart is the portal.
Love is the path.

If you've survived a trauma, a narcissist, a breakdown, an addiction, a grief that nearly broke you — and you're still here, still searching for the way through — you already know the terrain this work was built in.

If you're watching the world unravel and wondering how to hold your light steady while everything around you seems to be losing its mind — this map was made for exactly this moment.

We didn't find the way through by having it easy. We found it by going all the way through the fire. The map exists because someone walked it first — and left it here for you. Because we are all Kindred Lights. And none of us walks alone.

Do you recognize yourself here? What Actually Changes

You have a problem that shouldn't still be a problem.

You've read the books. Done the therapy. Made the vision boards. Had the hard conversations. And here it is again — the same pattern, different day. Here is very good news.

You have an inner guide who knows how to walk through this challenge and come out freer, wiser, empowered, and radiating love. You came here to conquer this challenge. These practices will teach you to listen for her — in the most mundane moments and the most triggering moments.

What actually changes — and how — when you stop fighting your triggers and start listening to what they're trying to tell you.

The Loop Loses Its Grip

When we are triggered by a challenge, our heart and mind clamp down on a specific solution and outcome. The reason the problem doesn't resolve is this outcome doesn't match the unfolding reality. The mismatch is the problem — and we have an inner guide who knows the solution.

The Choice Point Appears

Right there, in the trigger, before the automatic response fires — there is a choice point. The Wise OneYou, operating from your truest nature. One foot in the eternal, one foot in this particular life. She keeps the master plan and is always available. lives there. She has always been there.

The Heart Actually Opens

These practices open your heart in the moment it wants to close — and this changes everything. The open heart allows the mental and emotional imprints from the past to dissolve, and new insights, options, and responses to arise.

The Lie Dissolves

As the light of love shines through your open heart it illuminates your wisdom, power, and love. Every persistent trigger is held in place by a false belief about your true nature — which dissolves in the light of Truth.

The Outer World Shifts

Now that you have returned to your untriggered state, with wisdom and calm, you are present in the moment, attuned to others, and confident in your words and actions. This is how the Wise OneYou, operating from your truest nature. One foot in the eternal, one foot in this particular life. She keeps the master plan and is always available. moves through the world. You are returning to yourself.

You Find Your Version of Heroic

The clouds were never the sky. When the mental and emotional weather clears, what remains is the light you came here with. Your most noble self — not earned, not achieved. Remembered.

Where do you start?

It needs minding.

Who built this map? The Credential Is a Life

My journey from many messes to many miracles.

The Five Steps and the Eight Aspects were not developed in a retreat center or a graduate program. They were built in custody courtrooms, in supervised visitation rooms, beside a teenager in crisis, and in ten thousand ordinary moments where the lower self wanted to burn the world down and the higher self said: open your heart. I'll show you what to do.

Twenty years of sobriety. Three children thriving. A Thanksgiving table rebuilt from wreckage — including a seat for the man who had once been the adversary. That is what the Five Steps made possible. The actual table.

Why should I trust this? A Dream That Changed Everything

I made the monkeys extinct.

Walking through paradise with the Creator, I encountered screeching monkeys and a lion crouching over a gazelle. Each time something disturbed me, I wished it away — until I realized what I'd done. Every judgment, every tiny wish for control, had repercussions I could not see or imagine. And paradise was barren.

"The divine plan with screeching monkeys and carnivorous lions was perfect in a way that I hadn't seen."

What are the five steps? The Practice

The Five Steps to Freedom

A field guide for the fiery crucible — the moment when everything in you wants to react, and something deeper knows there's another way. The Five Steps connect you to that deeper knowing. They work on your nervous system. They meet you exactly where you are.

The Five Steps to Freedom — The Hero's Path to Love
How deep does this go? The Framework

Sir Ego is not the problem. His script is.

Luminology gives you the full map — who's running what, and why. The complete cosmology of human consciousness, ego, and the soul's journey home.

Sir Ego

Sir Ego is noble. He is a brave knight who said yes to the adventure of incarnation and has been doing his absolute best ever since — with incomplete information and a script he wrote himself. He is not the enemy. His script is.

the Wise One

The Wise One is you, operating from your truest nature. One foot in the eternal, one foot in this particular life. She keeps the master plan. She sees the perfection in every curveball. The moment Sir Ego quiets, even a little, she is already speaking.

The Karmariculum

Karma + curriculum. Your soul's custom-designed blueprint for this lifetime — not fate, not punishment, but a sacred plan for remembrance and liberation. When you see your life through this lens, the shame dissolves. What remains is the story of a brave soul on a remarkable quest.

"You didn't come here to transcend the world. You came here to illuminate it. One trigger at a time, one layer at a time, one act of radical forgiveness at a time — until the ray has cleared enough of itself that the sun can shine through without obstruction."

How do I go deeper? The Books

I've seen this pattern before.

In my personal life I crashed into the wall — the jail floor, actually — and had to find the Wise One immediately to rebuild everything from nothing. The Five Steps are how I did it. And I have the miracles to prove it.

As I've watched the world expose the egoic patterns at the root of all our problems, I felt the familiar sting. We are on the collective jail floor now. I know what beauty can come from this. Miracles in our inner world, our outer worlds, our relationships. Humanity is headed for a Thanksgiving reunion that blesses everyone — just like in my family.

These are the two books that carry the map and the practice.

The Work Itself
The credential is a life

Three DUIs to the Thanksgiving table. Not perfectly. But heroically.

Colin Tipping — creator of Radical Forgiveness and author of the international bestseller — called this story one of the most powerful demonstrations of his work he had ever witnessed. The forgiveness circle that appears in these pages is his. The Thanksgiving table that resulted from it is hers.
