Awareness of the Ego and learning how to improve your Emotional IQ, with material on Love and relationships.
These subjects are separate but also connected. Rarely talked about, rarely taught. Even more rarely learned. You must have the desire to gain anything from this material. You are the teacher and the student. This is a course in retraining you mind. All are invited, but few accept. The unconscious ego mind controls your income, relationships, and happiness. Understanding human behavior, the ego, helps you in emotional self control which is rarely mastered. MASTER YOUR EMOTIONS and YOU MASTER YOURSELF. MASTER YOUR EGO and YOU MASTER YOUR LIFE. The CHOICE is yours.]]></description><link>https://lostlessons.substack.com/s/course-outline</link><image><url>https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PYTf!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae28db0a-4261-4bf9-8c93-da1a42565f6f_480x480.png</url><title>The Lost Lessons: Objectives</title><link>https://lostlessons.substack.com/s/course-outline</link></image><generator>Substack</generator><lastBuildDate>Sat, 11 Apr 2026 07:04:52 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://lostlessons.substack.com/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><copyright><![CDATA[MidwestRRT]]></copyright><language><![CDATA[en]]></language><webMaster><![CDATA[midwestrrt@substack.com]]></webMaster><itunes:owner><itunes:email><![CDATA[midwestrrt@substack.com]]></itunes:email><itunes:name><![CDATA[GingerRRT]]></itunes:name></itunes:owner><itunes:author><![CDATA[GingerRRT]]></itunes:author><googleplay:owner><![CDATA[midwestrrt@substack.com]]></googleplay:owner><googleplay:email><![CDATA[midwestrrt@substack.com]]></googleplay:email><googleplay:author><![CDATA[GingerRRT]]></googleplay:author><itunes:block><![CDATA[Yes]]></itunes:block><item><title><![CDATA[Course Summary]]></title><description><![CDATA[Life is Choices]]></description><link>https://lostlessons.substack.com/p/course-summary</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://lostlessons.substack.com/p/course-summary</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[GingerRRT]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 06 Apr 2026 22:12:41 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PYTf!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae28db0a-4261-4bf9-8c93-da1a42565f6f_480x480.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p></p><h3><em>At some point in your life, ask yourself 4 questions.</em></h3><ol><li><p><em>Do I want to be average or great?</em></p></li><li><p><em>Do I want real personal power?</em></p></li></ol><p><em>Not just being successful in the material outer world but more importantly as a person.

That is the very first principle upon which to found their morality and character. If they are made to know that they hurt themselves when they hurt another physically, or by unkind words, and are made to know it as a part of Natural law, that knowledge will become habitual.</p><div><hr></div><p></p><h2><strong>Part 1: Power of Conscious Awareness</strong></h2><h4><strong>Part one is subdivided into 2 parts&#8230;.</strong></h4><h3><strong>i. STARTS WITH SELF-AWARENESS, ATTENTION &amp; FOCUS</strong></h3><p>Being in the present moment, or the &#8220;here and now&#8221; means that we are aware and mindful of what is happening at this very moment. We are not distracted by ruminations on the past or worries about the future, but centered in the here and now. All of our attention is focused on the present moment. Living in the present moment. We have no control over the experience, any relationships, or the outside world. We do have control of our inner world. It&#8217;s our internal interpretation or perspective of the experience that results in our attitudes, opinions, and habits that form our behavior.</p><h4><strong>The Red Car Theory</strong></h4><p>While you&#8217;re driving to work every day, can you tell me how many red cars you saw? Until you decide to look for or at something, you aren&#8217;t aware of it or don&#8217;t realize it.</p><p>This is awareness, attention to the present and focus on a specific problem.</p><p>So after ego education if someone or something triggers an ego habit. An ego educated person if called out on it by someone or if they are halfway present should notice it and try to fix it? That&#8217;s my theory&#8230; plus ego education should help a person to look at excessive ego traits in potential partners&#8230;. Ignorance is no longer an excuse&#129322;</p><p><strong>Being conscious, thinking with the soul/heart, and God&#8217;s energy of Love. Not the unconscious mind feelings /ego and body&#8217;s emotions... It&#8217;s how we respond not react</strong>.</p><h3><strong>ii. SELF-LOVE &amp; KNOW YOURSELF</strong></h3><p><strong>Part of self-love is wanting self-improvement</strong></p><p>Everyone wants to be loved. But first, we must make ourselves lovable. We must prepare ourselves to be loved. We do this by becoming loving, <strong>self-disciplined</strong>human beings. If we seek to be loved &#8211; if we expect to be loved.</p><ul><li><p>You&#8217;ve got to like and love yourself first&#8230;. Because love comes from within. What is your attitude to life? This goes hand in hand with&#8230;</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Know yourself.&#8230; What are your inner goals and outer goals? This is more about inner goals, but it&#8217;s about balance between the two, so include both. What rules won&#8217;t you break, which ones can you bend a little? Are there some things (beliefs, rules)you don&#8217;t need or need to add? Discipline. Character, integrity, honor, respect, and self-respect. Your character. What are your boundaries, deal breakers, passions, etc?&#8230; this is all part of your owner&#8217;s manual.</p></li></ul><h4>Self-Awareness of who you are&#8230; It starts with self-love and knowing who you are, and who you want to be. Love comes from within so you must first love yourself</h4><ol><li><p>YOU decide WHO you want to be(how you think, your attitude, what you say, how you act) and</p></li><li><p>YOU decide WHAT you want in life, your dreams/desires and goals,(inner &amp; outer)</p><p></p></li></ol><h4><strong>To find your way in this world you need only answer three questions&#8230;</strong></h4><ol><li><p>&#8220;First, you must ask yourself: &#8220;Who am I?&#8217; You will KNOW who you are when you see who you are not.</p></li><li><p>&#8220;Second, you must ask yourself: &#8220;What is real?&#8217; You will KNOW what is real when you accept what is not real or see but feel or realize what is real.</p></li><li><p>&#8220;Third,&#8221; you must ask yourself: &#8216;What is love?&#8217; You will KNOW love when you realize what love is not.&#8221;</p></li></ol><p><strong>Who you are is not your outer ego personality.

This is part of updating your owner&#8217;s manual, really this whole course is. But this is the core of who you are. How are you going to live? With honor, respect, values, and integrity. Live life as an ethical, loving human. Having and using your moral compass. Taking personal inventory and when we are wrong promptly admit it (accountability)Acting in awareness, consciously, not unconsciously. Virtue does not imply moral superiority, it implies authenticity and innate power. Our innate power arises from within our authentic (original) self and expresses itself in function.

For truth is reality.</p><p>That which is false is unreal. The more clearly we see the reality of the world, the better equipped we are to deal with the world.</p><p>The less clearly we see the reality of the world &#8211; the more our minds are befuddled by falsehood, misperceptions, and illusions &#8211; the less able we will be to determine correct courses of action and make wise decisions. Reality often is based on God&#8217;s unseen world and the truth of God&#8217;s love.</p><h4><strong>Not only Updating our owners manual but also our Map of reality.</strong></h4><p>Our view of reality is like a map with which to negotiate the terrain of life. This is where if you choose to go further down the rabbit hole. Going further then just about your character. You ask questions like, Am I the body, do I live forever, is this really the truth? Who am I really? This is where you decide if your initial map is what you believe in. Do you want change things, add or delete certain aspects? What is life about, why am I here, what is my purpose?</p><p>If the map is true and accurate, we will generally know where we are, and if we have decided where we want to go, we will generally know how to get there. If the map is false and inaccurate, we will generally be lost. While this is obvious, it is something that most people to a greater or lesser degree choose to ignore. Many get busy or sidetracked with the outside worlds, forget or they ignore it because our route to reality is not easy.</p><h4><strong>Being the Master of your inside world is how you Master the outside world</strong></h4><h4><strong>You must have the awareness and the desire to do the above</strong></h4><h4><strong>This is a big commitment.

They are wise because they reflect our interdependence with the Tao, with nature, with all life, and with the different parts of our own body; we cannot exhibit virtues except about another. The virtues are also wise in that they express love, the attitude that strengthens the positive bonds connecting everything in the universe. Thus the virtues promote life, health, and harmony. Cultivating the virtues is the basis of spiritual development in the Tao.

Explain </p><h4>Answer</h4><p>It's more my response or how I react to the outside world.. I can't control anyone else or any outside events that are happening. I only control my world, which is my inner world. I am only responsible for my 1/2 of the relationship. They are responsible for how they react to my words or actions, or their 1/2 of the relationship.</p><div><hr></div><p></p><p><strong>Question: Does the ego usually like to forgive?</strong></p><h4>Answer</h4><p>No</p><div><hr></div><p></p><p><strong>Question: </strong></p><ol><li><p><strong>Name at least one emotional reaction(feelings) you get when your ego kicks in during a conversation. </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Plus name one thing you can do to not to overreact or get upset. </strong></p></li><li><p><strong>How can 4 agreements help control your emotional reaction?</strong></p></li></ol><h4>Answer</h4><ol><li><p>Feel flushed, frustrated, and start getting mad or upset. Thoughts orvfeelings of like I'm being attacked, I get defensive, etc&#8230; they are wrong, I&#8217;m right. My way or the highway.</p></li><li><p>Pause and don't say anything. Deep breaths&#8230;. Anything they relate to personally that they state may help them control their emotions.</p></li><li><p>This is where the 2nd and 3rd Agreement comes into play and lets you understand and how to respond correctly or if possible to just let it slide as you see it&#8217;s their ego, their dream and has no bearing on you. You are just a secondary character in their movie. Plus you no longer assume, ask questions when possible to clarify, or chalk it up to their ego dream world. Yet you show respect to their opinion or ego dream.</p></li></ol><p></p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Question:</strong> Is the ego objective, and agreeable to compromise? Explain </p><h4>Answer</h4><p>No because its main objective is to always defend your personal ego beliefs or attitude at the time. To defend that you are the right one. It doesn't like to see anyone else's view or opinion. It's rigid and hates compromise, unless it's forced into it.</p><p>It may agree to compromise but only after as much defensive action that it can muster up.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Question:</strong> Is the ego more a conscious or more an automatic unconscious reaction?</p><h4>Answer</h4><p>Unconscious automatic reaction </p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Question:</strong> Where do your original unconscious beliefs come from?</p><h4>Answer</h4><p>Parents, teachers, church, society, social inputs. From how you were raised, observations, events, and beliefs instilled from when you were growing up.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Question:</strong> Do your attitudes or beliefs affect how you see other people or events that happen?</p><p>It is your <strong>attitude or beliefs, that make up your perception. </strong>Perception rules our actions.</p><div><hr></div><p></p><p><strong>Question:</strong> Is your perception always constant?</p><h4>Answer</h4><p>No it changes according to your choice of your current attitude or your beliefs at the present moment.</p><div><hr></div><p></p><p><strong>Question:</strong> in your own words explain what perception is. </p><h4>Answer</h4><p><em><strong>perception</strong></em>: <strong>your thought process or interpretation of the physical experience and your bodies emotional response</strong>. Our primary attention is on survival in the physical world, and on protecting your ego, your beliefs and perceptions. Mind consists of memory, perception and imagination. [our feelings come from within and reside in the subconscious.] Perception is also your <strong>Attitude or beliefs. </strong></p><p>The world of perception, on the other hand, is the world of time, of change, of beginnings and endings. It is based on interpretation, not on facts. It is the world of birth and death, founded on the belief in scarcity, loss, separation and death. It is learned rather than given, selective in its perceptual emphases, unstable in its functioning, and inaccurate in its interpretations.</p><p>Perception rules our actions.It is essential it be kept in mind that all perception still is upside down until its purpose has been understood. Perception does not seem to be a means. And it is this that makes it hard to grasp the whole extent to which it must depend on what you see it for. Perception seems to teach you what you see. Yet it but witnesses to what you taught. It is the outward picture of a wish; an image that you wanted to be true. It is the means to make your wish come true. It gives the eyes with which you look on it, the hands that feel it, and the ears with which you listen to the sounds it makes. It proves its own reality to you. And thus does his perception serve his wish by giving it appearances of truth. Yet can perception serve another goal. It is not bound to specialness but by your choice. And it is given you to make a different choice, and use perception for a different purpose. And what you see will serve that purpose well, and prove its own reality to you.</p><p>The world of perception, however, is made by the belief in opposites and separate wills, in perpetual conflict with each other and with God. What perception sees and hears appears to be real because it permits into awareness only what conforms to the wishes of the perceiver. This leads to a world of illusions, a world which needs constant defense precisely because it is not real.</p><p>When you have been caught in the world of perception you are caught in a dream. You cannot escape without help, because everything your senses show merely witnesses to the reality of the dream.</p><p>Projection makes perception. The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. But though it is no more than that, it is not less. Therefore, to you it is important. It is the witness to your state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world.Perception is a function of the body, and therefore represents a limit on awareness.</p><p>Perception sees through the body&#8217;s eyes and hears through the body&#8217;s ears. It evokes the limited responses which the body makes. The body appears to be largely self-motivated and independent, yet it actually responds only to the intentions of the mind. If the mind wants to use it for attack in any form, he does.</p><p>Perception is a choice of what you want yourself to be; the world you want to live in, and the state in which you think your mind will be content and satisfied. It chooses where you think your safety lies, at your decision. It reveals yourself to you as you would have you be. And always is it faithful to your purpose, from which it never separates, nor gives the slightest witness unto anything the purpose in your mind upholdeth not. Perception is a part of what it is your purpose to behold, for means and end are never separate. And thus you learn what seems to have a life apart has none. You see what you believe is there, and you believe it there because you want it there. Perception has no other law than this.</p><p>Perception is a result and not a cause. And that is why order of difficulty in miracles is meaningless. Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy. Nothing perceived without it means anything. And where there is no meaning, there is chaos. Perception is a choice and not a fact. But on this choice depends far more than you may realize as yet. For on the voice you choose to hear, and on the sights you choose to see, depends entirely your whole belief in what you are. Perception is a witness but to this, and never to reality.</p><p>You have been told not to make error real, and the way to do this is very simple. If you want to believe in error, you would have to make it real because it is not true. But truth is real in its own right, and to believe in truth you do not have to do anything. Understand that you do not respond to anything directly, but to your interpretation of it. Your interpretation thus becomes the justification for the response. That is why analyzing the motives of others is hazardous to you. If you decide that someone is really trying to attack you or desert you or enslave you, you will respond as if he had actually done so, having made his error real to you. To interpret error is to give it power, and having done this you will overlook truth.</p><p></p><div><hr></div><p></p><p><strong>Question:</strong> Name 2 things the ego thought system automatically does on a daily basis.</p><h4>Answers</h4><p>A system that produces many of my negative emotions, and feelings. </p><p>A system of judgment and one of I&#8217;m right &amp; you&#8217;re wrong. To the ego, it is kind and right and good to point out errors and &#8220;correct&#8221; them. The ego analyzes, it judges, it protects itself, your selfish ego, not the real you.</p><p>A system of self-protection always ready to attack and defend MY EGO selfish actions</p><p>System of fear and often hate, or unforgiveness.</p><p>A system of scarcity and always wanting more </p><p>A system of pride and often arrogance. </p><p>A system of specialness, I'm smart you're not.</p><p>A system of guilt.</p><p>A system of trying to control the outside world.</p><p>The ego thought system cannot tolerate release from the past, and although the past is over, the ego tries to preserve its image by responding as if it were present.

Explain your answer.</p><h4>Answer</h4><p>No, not usually, in the ego world of scarcity, love has no meaning and peace is impossible&#8230;</p><p>&#8230; plus most of the above answers</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Question:</strong> Explain the 2nd agreement (<strong>Don&#8217;t take anything personally.</strong>) in your words. And how this figures in how you can become bulletproof to people's actions and their opinions.</p><h4>Answer</h4><p>We take everything personally <strong>when our personal importance</strong> leads us to make the assumption that whatever happens is because of us, which is why we continue to hurt each other and brood about what we call injustice. </p><p>Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream or movie. It&#8217;s their Ego talking&#8230; Stop being offended. (Let go of your pride &amp; reputation.) </p><h4>When you truly understand this, you will not need to blame, attack nor defend yourself. That means even if you make a mistake, and other people react and judge, it&#8217;s nothing personal. How they react to you is their problem not yours. But how you react or respond to them is on you and your self control of your emotions.</h4><p>You become immune or bulletproof to the opinions and actions of others, you won&#8217;t be the victim of needless suffering. When somebody talks about you, they are talking about a secondary character in their story who represents you; they are talking about an image they create for you. </p><p>That image has nothing to do with you; it&#8217;s just a projection of that person&#8217;s dream, movie, or story.

awareness of these 3 topics</h4><ol><li><p>Understanding only you control your world. Which is the inside world of your mind. Your beliefs, emotions, feelings, and choices. Choices of ego fear, and unforgiveness or truth and love? The outside world doesn&#8217;t matter. It only matters how you respond from your inside world. </p></li><li><p>Understanding the ego human behavior you can now see and understand that they live in their personal ego dream world or movie. To understand basic human ego behavior, and see it in others. To see how the ego tries to control their outside world with emotions of anger, conflict, accusing, blaming, attacking, judging, I&#8217;m right you&#8217;re wrong, I&#8217;m special, you are not, etc.. </p></li><li><p>Emotional IQ is another subject you can&#8217;t help people achieve unless they want to do it themselves. But we rarely even talk about it, or even less in giving you information or the tools to help you improve your emotional intelligence.</p></li><li><p>The 4 Agreements and companion lessons, gives you easy explanations and everyday tools to implement your awareness and understanding of the basic human nature and the ego thought system and emotional intelligence. </p><h3>Assignment: </h3><h4>Read the 4 Agreements book, Mastery of Love book and Ego section</h4><h4>Understand ONLY YOU control your real world, the inner world of your mind</h4><h4>See Owners Manual section read and take your time to figure out who you are and want to be. Focus more on the inner values and characteristics you want to develop and have.This is where you make sure you know what you want, who you are, and who you want to be. Integrity, honor, self-respect. Likes, dislikes, inner goals, and outer goals, etc&#8230;</h4><blockquote><h4>Read God&#8217;s Knowledge Thought System in the Knowledge section</h4></blockquote><h4>Now there is no excuse of ignorance </h4><div><hr></div></li></ol><p>The rest is up to you. It's your choice! Are you ready to learn more about being both the teacher and the student. Do you want real power? This not for the lazy person. <strong>This is where you must have the want &amp; willpower to improve your emotional intelligence.</strong></p><h4>Laziness is the original sin.</h4><div><hr></div><h2>PART II</h2><h4>Your next choice takes the willingness &amp; willpower to improve emotional self-control &#8230; </h4><ol><li><p>By practicing self-discipline, responsibility and implementing the 4 Agreements you can effectively improve communication skills. (along with developing self-love, knowing who you really are and what you want, improving your foundation, or updating your owner's manual)</p></li><li><p>You can now brush off their words or actions because you now have knowledge of their personal ego&#8217;s control. You get angry or upset less often, and you can now respect their ego dream or movie. You see how the ego only protects your ego personality, not the real you, your inner heart or soul. You have the everyday tools to communicate more effectively and deal with their ego opinion and any possible conflicts. You have the improved ability to control your emotional reactions and now you respond in the present instead of reacting. You are not trying to control them or any other outside event or interaction. This is where you pull it it all together with this new knowledge of these 3 key areas. This gives you a great advantage in your personal and business life. </p></li><li><p>You don&#8217;t hate or judge them anymore. You still don&#8217;t have to like them or even associate with them if possible.(discernment) You now understand it&#8217;s God&#8217;s role to judge your brothers and sisters, not you&#8230;.</p></li></ol><p><strong>&#8230;.you become Bulletproof</strong></p><p>Use the 4th Agreement&#8230; practice, repeat, practice, repeat&#8230;.</p><p>&#8230;<strong>you become Relentless</strong></p><h3>Assignment: </h3><h4>A&#8230; Read the Awareness &amp; Emotions section</h4><h4>B&#8230; Read the Love section, Read the 5th Agreement and Belief section</h4><h2>You are a Warrior and a Seer</h2><p>Implementing the 4 Agreements is the start of awareness. Seeing how the ego controls them. You understand its their ego movie, they are the creator, producer and star, it has nothing to do with you, it&#8217;s their image of you. Look for the signs and their real intention behind their words. By being the observer of your thoughts and emotions. By not automatically reacting, getting frustrated or mad, saying or doing something dumb. You wait to respond with wisdom or choose to say nothing or to agree. Now many people won&#8217;t say anything because they don&#8217;t want to have a conflict or other reasons why they don&#8217;t reply. (That&#8217;s not awareness.)</p><div><hr></div><p>To what degree and how much are you balanced more to the selfishness of the ego fear thoughts or more to Gods thoughts of truth and goodness of love? It&#8217;s easy to see it in others but what about you?</p><h4>Your 3rd choice is one of unlearning, relearning, a total commitment of prayer, faith, &amp; love</h4><ol><li><p>Understanding that each of us are all a ball of eternal energy, just using a temporary body while here on earth. That we are all a part of Gods eternal energy of Love. You understand fully that we are not separate from God or from each other. One truth, one mind, one perception. We do not die just the temporary body dies, the true you is eternal energy.</p></li><li><p>That the ego controls most of us while we are temporarily in this human body. </p></li><li><p>That we each must awaken from the ego dream. While we can&#8217;t entirely delete the ego, <strong>we must listen to our true inner self or soul</strong> and that we have a choice to unlearn and minimize the ego. Here you must add the 5th agreement, change some of your beliefs, understanding what love really is, and learn to use God&#8217;s Knowledge Thought System of Love. To unify your mind and vision with God&#8217;s eternal energy. </p></li></ol><p>The choice not to hate them, to forgive, as we all are all part of God&#8217;s energy and we all use the Ego Thought System. It&#8217;s just varies to the degree in its control over each person. With free will, and the ego's thought system we choose to distort God&#8217;s energy of truth and love. Completely merging your mind with your inner heart or soul or with Gods mind. Because most of us are not fully awake, still living in the ego dream, and most of us forget or are unaware of God&#8217;s Love/Knowledge Thought System of &#8230;</p><p>&#8230; One mind, One truth, and One perception. </p><h4>We are just temporarily using the body as a teaching tool for growing our souls.</h4><ol><li><p>We are truly eternal energy beings and are also here to enjoy and have fun that the body provides from its 5 senses.</p><p><strong>To become Relentless in both life or love</strong></p><h3>Assignment: </h3><h4>A&#8230; Read The Game, Relationship, Knowledge sections, &amp; any other books mentioned.</h4><p></p><p>Around 90% of all people don&#8217;t live in the present or with complete awareness of who they are and that they are the only one in control of their world. They still let the ego control them. If you complete this 3rd step. <strong>Congratulations &#8230;..</strong></p><h2>&#8230;You are a Master of Intent or Love</h2><p></p><div><hr></div></li></ol><p>Everyone has an opinion on what is wrong with society, the system, etc. It's not a political or religious issue. It's about freedom, free will, perceptions, and the choice between fear and love.</p><h2>Lack of Balance</h2><h3>Personal Responsibility </h3><p>Whether it's schools, churches, or parents, there&#8217;s a lack of common-sense values, ethics, and personal responsibility. The balance of life, taken too far either way, isn't good. </p><p>If you listen to Jesus ' parables he is talking about the ego. He speaks of having tolerance, respect, honor, self-respect, self-responsibility, and an attitude of love. We say the devil made me do it or it's the devil's fault. No, the real devil is your selfish ego beliefs. While Jesus died for your sins it doesn't mean you will be guaranteed a higher level of heaven if you still are a selfish butthead. We are here to have fun and to grow our souls, to learn.</p><p>Churches, schools, and most parents don't do a good job of instilling or teaching their children personal responsibility, how to minimize the ego, and think with God's love thought system. Most of us just talk around it, some talk a little, but not nearly enough. We can't delete the ego but we can minimize it. Our current mainstream system actually encourages the ego thought system. Society encourages selfishness and the me-me-me attitudes. Modern fear is more physiological than physical. A large portion of our society has become out of balance. Encouraging extremism, discord, attacking free speech, individual rights, and even violence. It must start with each person and as parents at least to have the awareness, and to also teach this message.</p><p>We aren't teaching our kids or ourselves the truth. We are all part of God's eternal energy system and the ego is the real enemy we need to work on while temporarily here in this body. </p><h4></h4><div><hr></div><h2>We need to break the cycle </h2><p>Empathize awareness of the ego and in minimizing the ego. Making sure we instill the character of the child with the attributes of integrity, respect, honor, and love. Teach them to think from the heart or soul with God's energy of love. Listening to your feelings about what each of us is and wants, the energy of love. Responsibility, back to the basics, the Golden Rule&#8230; Instill in them that we are not really the body but a part of God's eternal energy. The universe is spiritual. Everything and all of us is part of the eternal energy of God. Making sure they understand it isn't the outside world's fault of what happens to us. <strong>We can't control the outer world or other people. No matter how much we try. We only control our world which is the inner world, or mind, our intentions, beliefs, attitude or our energy. It's how you react or respond from your inside world to the outside world events and people or relationships, that determines your world.</strong></p><h4>God's thought system is about inclusiveness, (not extremism)but one of values, ethics, balance, tolerance, and based on one truth, one perception of his eternal energy of love. The BASICS: Right from wrong. We are all a part of God's energy and want to love and be loved..&#8230; The Golden Rule. </h4><p>We might have been taught this, but the ego is strong, for each person, the ego control varies. Each of us as an individual must have the desire to always seek the truth. Only you can change how your Ego thoughts, attitude, and beliefs, to God's thought system of love. You have to look in the mirror and decide who you are and really want to be in this life. It is still up to the individual to have the desire or want to learn it but if we can at least make our kids and us adults aware that the ego is a thought system and it can be controlled, we have a chance. Teaching them personal responsibility, the basics of love, and balance. </p><h4>Attitudes, or actions based on LOVE or goodness are always the how to see who someone really is. Take COVID, extreme FEAR was the basic message that's how one could tell something wasn't right. Blown out of proportion to the real threat, then extreme measures were mandated, etc&#8230;</h4><p>Not encouraging extremism, or teaching preferential treatment of silly causes, organizations, or anybody.</p><div><hr></div><p>The material presented here is universal, most if from the old cultures like Taoism and the Toltecs. The 4 Agreements give you everyday tools and a simplified explanation of the theory behind the tools. Something none of the religions or anyone else has provided you with. Simple Everyday Tools that let you act and live with God's love thought system, while still in this very materialistic self-centered world. The problem is that you have to have the willpower to use them. Your choice, as we all have free will. It is not religious in nature but spiritual and more of a lifestyle than anything, if learned and implemented in your life.</p><h4>Finally, teach concepts, not subjects</h4><p><strong>Build it around these Core Concepts:</strong></p><p>God</p><p>Family</p><p>Awareness</p><p>Honesty/Integrity/Honor</p><p>Self-Responsibility</p><p>Teach your children these concepts from the earliest age. Have them run through the curriculum until the final day. Base your entire educational model upon them. Birth all instruction deep within them.</p><div><hr></div><h2>LIFE is God's Energy of LOVE</h2><p>Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love&#8230;..Love never fails.</p><div><hr></div><p>Love is not given. </p><p>Love cannot be taken away.</p><p>Love is not a commodity; it cannot be bought or sold. </p><p>Love does not come from outside.</p><p>Love is not a state; states come and go.</p><p>Love is not an excited nervous system, a peak experience, a wonderful feeling. </p><p>Even the most volcanic feelings are temporary. And even the most sincere promises can crumble. And even the most beautiful dreams can die, for this existence is without ground, and you have always known.  </p><p>Love is synonymous with Presence, a heart open to the Infinite. </p><p>Love is there in the breath, this simple feeling of being alive and awake.</p><p>Love is spacious; a great room, your unlimited capacity for thought and feeling. </p><p>Love is yours, and you cannot lose it.</p><p>If you can lose it, it was never love, but desire, and promises, and futures, and the urge to possess, and be possessed, and forget death and the groundlessness of things, and live in blissful unawareness. Yet love is there even in the loss of desire.</p><p>And the heart can remain open, even as the world cracks. Yes, even when love is lost, there is love! Love is this astonishing intimacy you feel.</p><p>This transparency. The stateless state. Home.</p><p>This wonder. This readiness. The present moment, naked. The part of you that cannot be crucified.</p><p>Do not wait for love, then. Do not beg for it.</p><p>Do not make yourself small for it.</p><p>Do not manipulate yourself, belittle yourself.</p><p>Do not destroy others to win it.</p><p>Do not make it into something 'lost'. But know it. </p><p>And remember:</p><p>You are worthy. You are large. You are a beast of the wild, a supernova. Your heart beats as One with all the other hearts. Connected, and longing to connect.  So you cannot be lonely, when you are in yourself. And your aloneness is majestic. And your longing is miraculous. Let your dreams of love burn; feel the fire.</p><p>You only ever wanted to fall in love with your own heart.~ Jeff Foster</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[LOST LESSONS OBJECTIVES]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Under-Untaught, or Lost Lessons &#8230;..]]></description><link>https://lostlessons.substack.com/p/lost-lessons-objectives</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://lostlessons.substack.com/p/lost-lessons-objectives</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[GingerRRT]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 07 Sep 2025 17:31:53 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PYTf!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fae28db0a-4261-4bf9-8c93-da1a42565f6f_480x480.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>&#8220;In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.&#8221;</p><p>&#8213; Buddha</p><h4><strong>This material is from other authors</strong></h4><p>We do not claim copyright of any of their material. The Toltec books are from Don Miguel Ruiz. Other authors' copyrighted works is also quoted for teaching purposes only.

If we do not have them listed then let us know as we used many sources and may not have all of them listed. This is not an infringement of their copyright, used for learning purposes only. A little is mine like the owners manual but even then it still the four agreements and other Toltec books and other books are the main tools and messages used. So please buy and read their books. The 5 Agreements are the main tools used in this educational format. We added some articles to help explain the concepts for a hopefully better understanding of the ego and the steps needed to improve your emotional intelligence.

We tried to put and merge the authors material together in what I hope is an improved format for better teaching and comprehensive understanding of the main teaching objectives.

Which is the inside world of your mind. Your beliefs, emotions, feelings, and choices. Choices of ego fear, and unforgiveness or truth and love? The outside world doesn&#8217;t matter. It only matters how you respond from your inside world. </p></li><li><p>Understanding the ego human behavior you can now see and understand that they live in their personal ego dream world or movie. To understand basic human ego behavior, and see it in others. To see how the ego tries to control their outside world with emotions of anger, conflict, accusing, blaming, attacking, judging, I&#8217;m right you&#8217;re wrong, I&#8217;m special, you are not, etc.. </p></li><li><p>The 4 Agreements and companion lessons, gives you easy explanations and everyday tools to implement your awareness and understanding of the basic human nature and the ego thought system.</p></li></ol><h3>Assignment: </h3><h4>Read Relentless</h4><h4>Read the 4 Agreements book, Mastery of Love book and Ego section</h4><h4>Understand ONLY YOU control your real world, the inner world of your mind</h4><h4>See Owners Manual section read and take your time to figure out who you are and want to be. Focus more on the inner values and characteristics you want to develop and have.This is where you make sure you know what you want, who you are, and who you want to be. Integrity, honor, self-respect. Likes, dislikes, inner goals, and outer goals, etc&#8230;</h4><h4>Read God&#8217;s Knowledge Thought System in the Knowledge section</h4><h4>Now there is no excuse of ignorance or lack of awareness </h4><div><hr></div><p>The rest is up to you. It&#8217;s your choice! Are you ready to learn more about being both the teacher and the student. Do you want real power? This not for the lazy person. <strong>This is where you must have the want &amp; willpower to improve your emotional intelligence.</strong></p><h4>Laziness is the original sin</h4><h2>PART II</h2><h4>Your next choice takes the willingness &amp; willpower to improve emotional self-control &#8230;</h4><ol><li><p>By practicing self-discipline, responsibility and implementing the 4 Agreements you can effectively improve communication skills. (along with developing self-love, knowing who you really are and what you want, improving your foundation, or updating your owner&#8217;s manual)</p></li><li><p>You can now brush off their words or actions because you now have knowledge of their personal ego&#8217;s control. You get angry or upset less often, and you can now respect their ego dream or movie. You see how the ego only protects your ego personality, not the real you, your inner heart or soul. You have the everyday tools to communicate more effectively and deal with their ego opinion and any possible conflicts. You have the improved ability to control your emotional reactions and now you respond in the present instead of reacting. You are not trying to control them or any other outside event or interaction. This is where you pull it it all together with this new knowledge of these 3 key areas. This gives you a great advantage in your personal and business life. </p></li><li><p>You don&#8217;t hate or judge them anymore. You still don&#8217;t have to like them or even associate with them if possible.(discernment) You now understand it&#8217;s God&#8217;s role to judge your brothers and sisters, not you&#8230;.</p></li></ol><p><strong>&#8230;.you become Bulletproof</strong></p><p>Use the 4th Agreement&#8230; practice, repeat, practice, repeat&#8230;.</p><p>&#8230;<strong>you become Relentless</strong></p><h3>Assignment: </h3><h4>A&#8230; Read the Awareness &amp; Emotions section</h4><h4>B&#8230; Read the Love section, Read the 5th Agreement and Belief section</h4><p>Implementing the 4 Agreements is the start of awareness. Seeing how the ego controls them. You understand its their ego movie, they are the creator, producer and star, it has nothing to do with you, it&#8217;s their image of you. Look for the signs and their real intention behind their words. By being the observer of your thoughts and emotions. By not automatically reacting, getting frustrated or mad, saying or doing something dumb. You wait to respond with wisdom or choose to say nothing or to agree. Now many people won&#8217;t say anything because they don&#8217;t want to have a conflict or other reasons why they don&#8217;t reply. That&#8217;s not awareness.</p><h2>You are a Warrior and a Seer</h2><div><hr></div><p>To what degree and how much are you balanced more to the selfishness of the ego fear thoughts or more to Gods thoughts of truth and goodness of love? It&#8217;s easy to see it in others but what about you?</p><h2>PART III</h2><h4>Your 3rd choice is one of unlearning, relearning, a total commitment of prayer, faith, &amp; love</h4><ol><li><p>Understanding that each of us are all a ball of eternal energy, just using a temporary body while here on earth. That we are all a part of Gods eternal energy of Love. You understand fully that we are not separate from God or from each other. One truth, one mind, one perception. We do not die just the temporary body dies, the true you is eternal energy.</p></li><li><p>That the ego controls most of us while we are temporarily in this human body. </p></li><li><p>That we each must awaken from the ego dream. While we can&#8217;t entirely delete the ego, <strong>we must listen to our true inner self or soul</strong> and that we have a choice to unlearn and minimize the ego. Here you must add the 5th agreement, change some of your beliefs, understanding what love really is, and learn to use God&#8217;s Knowledge Thought System of Love. To unify your mind and vision with God&#8217;s eternal energy. </p></li></ol><p>The choice not to hate them, to forgive, as we all are all part of God&#8217;s energy and we all use the Ego Thought System. It&#8217;s just varies to the degree in its control over each person. With free will, and the ego&#8217;s thought system we choose to distort God&#8217;s energy of truth and love. Completely merging your mind with your inner heart or soul or with Gods mind. Because most of us are not fully awake, still living in the ego dream, and most of us forget or are unaware of God&#8217;s Love/Knowledge Thought System of &#8230;</p><p>&#8230; One mind, One truth, and One perception. </p><h4>We are just temporarily using the body as a teaching tool for growing our souls.</h4><ol><li><p>We are truly eternal energy beings and are also here to enjoy and have fun that the body provides from its 5 senses.</p><p><strong>To become Relentless in both life or love</strong></p></li></ol><h3>Assignment: </h3><h4>A&#8230; Read The Game, Relationship, Knowledge sections, &amp; any other books mentioned.</h4><p></p><p>Around 90% of all people don&#8217;t live in the present or with complete awareness of who they are and that they are the only one in control of their world. They still let the ego control them. If you complete this 3rd step. </p><ol><li><p>You must look for the ego in yourself. Minimize it and adopt his Knowledge Thought System</p></li><li><p>You must fully accept you are an eternal ball of energy that is a speck part of God</p></li><li><p>Merge your consciousness, thoughts, intentions an inner heart or soul into God's vision in the energy of his love. A lifelong process of focus and willpower</p></li></ol><h2><strong>Congratulations &#8230;</strong></h2><h2>&#8230; You are a Master of Intention or Love</h2><div><hr></div></blockquote><h4><strong>These subjects are rarely taught or rarely talked about..</strong></h4><p>A lot of it is only learned from life experiences.

This ability to express and control emotions is essential, but so is the ability to understand, interpret, and respond to the feelings of others. It starts by understanding the ego, our <strong>standard thought system</strong>. This book and the added material break it into easily understandable information and awareness of some universal principles.</p><ol><li><p><strong>Emotional Intelligence -</strong> Who taught you or your kids about basic <strong>human behavior</strong>? Why do people act like we do? Why do we often react with anger, frustration, and jealousy? To understand we each live in our <strong>self-centered</strong> personal opinions, dream world, as the creator, producer, director &amp; star in our movie&#8230;.. The <strong>Ego</strong> or the <strong>Ego Thought System</strong> - Most of us <strong>don&#8217;t</strong> think of the ego as a thought system, &amp; that it is our automatic thought system that runs our personal dream world or movie. This is an important subject, rarely taught &amp; should greatly improve understanding of basic human behavior.</p></li><li><p><strong>Who has given you or talked about everyday tools/skill sets to improve your emotional self-control and communication skills</strong>? The most important thing about the book is that it is an excellent <strong>communication course</strong> by itself. Using the 4 Agreements and applying them in your life should improve your communication skills. Who taught you any basic communication skills? A huge professional and private life advantage&#8230;. If nothing else use this as a communication tool&#8230;. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/applying-four-agreements-business-aubrey-armes-phr">https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/applying-four-agreements-business-aubrey-armes-phr&#8230;</a></p></li><li><p><strong>Integrity-Personal Foundation Improvement - Code of Conduct </strong>- Applying the 4 Agreements can also become an important cog in maintaining or improving your foundation. Do we teach &amp; instill basic principles/values very well? Love, self-respect, self-love, integrity, respect,[honor] Some basics, like the Golden Rule&#8230; We are all born with virtues of love, gentleness, kindness, respect, honesty, fairness, justice, and righteousness. But many let the ego thought system override these natural, basic instincts &amp;/or virtues.</p></li><li><p><strong>Self-Love</strong> <strong>&amp; Love </strong>- When has a parent talked to their child about love? Have you or did your parents? Maybe a little generalized info in Sunday school or church! Again, we kinda know what love is. But do we really?</p></li></ol><h4>Understanding what love is and MORE importantly, what Love isn&#8217;t. </h4><ol start="5"><li><p><strong>Relationships </strong>- Who educated you or your kids? What should a relationship consist of? Is it all learned from the experience? Probably, but some self-education can&#8217;t hurt. Again, we all intrinsically know basic kindness, etc&#8230;</p></li></ol><h3></h3><div><hr></div><h3>Emotional Intelligence </h3><p>The more emotionally intelligent you become, the less you take things personally. </p><p>You start to see that other people&#8217;s behaviours are often reflections of their own struggles, not a statement about your worth.</p><p>With time, you learn that many people act out of their own pain, fears, insecurities. Their words and actions often come from what they are carrying inside, not from who you are as a person. When you understand this, you no longer feel the need to argue, prove yourself, let their negativity affect your peace again. </p><p>Emotional intelligence teaches you to respond with calmness instead of anger, patience instead of frustration. It gives you the strength to step back and realise, &#8220;This is not about me. This is about what they are going through, their ego.&#8221; And in that moment, you choose peace over conflict.</p><p>You also start showing more compassion, even when people are unkind. You may not agree with their actions, but you begin to see the hurt behind them. This shift allows you to forgive more easily, detach from unnecessary drama, carry a softer heart without being weak. </p><p>You begin to value your own energy more and you stop giving away your happiness to every passing mood or opinion of others. You see clearly that your worth does not decrease because someone failed to see it. Their behaviour is simply a mirror of their own battles, not a judgment of your value.</p><p>In the end, emotional intelligence helps you carry yourself with grace. You do not take things to heart so easily. You learn to protect your inner world and you realise that the way others act is their story, not yours.</p><p>~ Dorothea</p><p>&#10024;&#128588;&#127998;&#128171;</p><div><hr></div><h3><strong>KISS: Simply put, it is based on the GOLDEN RULE</strong></h3><p>Most of us were taught this in Sunday school. Most of the time, one will or should naturally know from your gut, heart, or both, what is right or wrong for you. Each of us, to varying degrees and success, does this automatically. Some people need a lot of the details that aren't talked about enough. Many people get caught up in the material world and forget what was taught. Sadly, this probably won't help the more egotistical ones, as you have to be willing to learn the majority of this material, and it must be done through your interactions or experiences.</p><p><strong>I hope that you do not need this material, I hope you are one of the lucky ones who just know it. </strong>But it&#8217;s here if it's needed at some point in your life. </p><p>Even if you think you or your kids don't need any of this. When many people naturally do or act the right way, do they understand the reasons why they do so? Would it help to understand the concept or the reason why a person should or should not act a certain way? I don't think it will hurt. Isn't there always room for improvement?</p><p>Whether you gain any knowledge and apply any of it in your life it is your CHOICE&#8230;.</p><h4><strong>LIFE IS ABOUT CHOICE</strong></h4><p><strong>Life experience is the ultimate teacher, but some of this can be taught or at least made aware to so many more people than it has been offered to or even talked about.</strong></p><p>Some people refuse to learn. Some are &#8216;old souls&#8217;. Many are lazy and/or blame others. Most of us can see how the ego controls other people, but a lot of us refuse to see it in ourselves. These topics aren't adequately addressed by parents, religion, or school. Having access to the awareness and/or information in these important areas can only help those who have the want and the will to learn this helpful life knowledge. If remembering or learning even a part of one of these lost lessons helps you realize that ah moment, this would be worth it.</p><h4>Don't you want to improve your ability to successfully navigate and achieve your goals in life?</h4><h4>Now you can&#8217;t claim ignorance as an excuse &#128513; </h4><div><hr></div><p></p><h2><strong>IT STARTS BY KNOWING YOURSELF</strong></h2><ul><li><p>So many people don't know who they are</p></li><li><p>Many don't know the power they have to become who they can become</p></li><li><p>Your power is unlimited&#8230;.</p></li></ul><p></p><h4><strong>Life is ATTITUDE</strong></h4><p>Start with these first 2 questions. To find your way in this world, ask yourself:</p><ol><li><p>WHO am I? You will know who you are when you see who you are not.</p></li><li><p>Who do I want to be? A person of Love and integrity? What do you want out of life? What makes you happy?</p></li></ol><p>This is where your personal owner's manual comes into play.</p><p><strong>Who you are is not your outer ego personality.</strong></p><p>It is who you are inside&#8212;your inner heart or soul.</p><p><strong>There are not just 2 or 3 main parts, but many inter-tangled parts to minimize the ego.</strong></p><p>"<em>You will never change your life until you change the habits you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine, your self-discipline."</em></p><p></p><h4><strong>LIFE IS CHOICE &amp; BALANCE</strong></h4><ul><li><p>If you don&#8217;t choose, life will choose for you.</p></li><li><p>Take responsibility for your path.</p></li><li><p>Ownership unlocks freedom.</p></li></ul><p><em>Study your patterns. The ultimate wisdom comes from knowing your whys. Why do you feel it? Why do you do it? Why do you repeat it? Knowing your whys gives you clarity about who you are. And when you know who you are, you become powerful, dangerous, and unstoppable.</em></p><p>Refuse to walk blindly in life. See what is true and not what you prefer to see.</p><p>Always check the integrity of your actions. Is this response fair? Am I being respectful? Would I want to be treated this way? Respect makes it possible to see the other person&#8217;s opinion. It makes it possible to know the truth of their movie or dream, self-respect, and respect for others.</p><p>You are the one in charge of your thoughts and your movie. You are the commander-in-chief, the president of you. Are you a tyrant? Selfish? Me, Me, Me? Always the victim? Our power is our intent, our spirit. We are connected with everything, and we affect everything through our intent.</p><ul><li><p>Make your own owner's manual and read the material about Love.</p></li><li><p>Incorporate what you want from the power pillars and tools into your manual and your life.</p></li></ul><h4><strong>LIFE IS RELATIONSHIPS </strong></h4><p>Life isn&#8217;t about religion, it&#8217;s about the energy that runs us, who we are at the core. Life is about the spiritual energy of consciousness.</p><p>You were born an artist, and your art is the expression of your spirit; it&#8217;s the expression of that force that you are. You know how powerful you are, and that power is real. You know what you learned, and you know that not all your knowledge is real.         The truth is happening right in front of you. To experience life is to experience truth. To see the truth makes a huge difference in your world; to become the truth is the real goal because that is the real you. What is not the truth is not important. Your desire for the truth, and your love for the truth, is what is important, and that is the real teaching? ~<em>The 5th Agreement</em></p><h3></h3><div><hr></div><h3><strong>You are here to learn or grow and have FUN</strong></h3><ol><li><p>Pay attention to whether or not we are practicing the <strong>MIND &amp; HEART PILLARS</strong> &#8212; prayer, belief, choice, and love.

We are eternal. Love is eternal. God is eternal. Material possessions or things are NOT eternal. If an action results in goodness or love that is the truth. Giving is the same as receiving. We don't have to like another person or even associate with them if we choose. You understand they act from their ego thought system, not God's thought system. <strong>The origin of all Energy is the action of Free Will upon Love. The nature of all energy is Light</strong></p><p>Love is Gods energy it is the whole world that he has created, everything including you. Love is life and life is love. What God had created is Unchangeable and eternal. Love, is the world&#8217;s true reality. Intelligent energy is not only an energy within the universe, but it is the universe. Every type of manifestation, every movement, every event, every entity, every energy is some form, or distortion, of intelligent energy.</p><p>Consciousness does not think. Consciousness allows Itself to avail Itself of that infinite source of information within. It is in this way that you are attempting through the balancing of the day&#8217;s extreme emotions, to give to yourself that which cannot be done without some aid. There is, for instance, no possibility of a person being able to cogitate, ruminate, ideate and manifest love. Indeed, it is possible for such a person to manifest a universal and very real compassion.</p><p>At our core, we're all one, a minuscule part of God's eternal energy. We don't have to like another person, or even associate with them if we choose. But we don't condemn them, as that's God's job.</p><h3><em><strong>Our true self is of God's energy</strong></em></h3><p><em>God can not help to love you as we are all a part of God. Not God but a speck of his eternal energy of love. Everything he makes is eternal, not dying, but transforming from being in this temporary body to learn and grow, and then going back to our original state. All of us are but a small ball of pure energy.</em></p><p>&#8216;Truth is God and God is Truth.&#8217; I believe that God is also light and love, but certainly truth. Our intellect/brain will die when our bodies die. Our subconscious will not even break stride. This is the field, the energy of love(spirit), our true self, the inner heart or inner soul&#8230;</p><div><hr></div><h3>Spiritual vs being Religious </h3><h4>This, isn&#8217;t as much about being religious, it is more about becoming spiritual.</h4><h3><strong>The spiritual self: becoming conscious, not thinking with the unconscious ego</strong></h3><p>&#8220;You are not a human being having a spiritual experience.
