~ Why? What? ~

 

In situations where you're forced to be a prosecutor or defendant, in order to find top-notch evidence for the courtroom, you must begin to think in the right order. That order is, “Why? What? How?”.

The first thing you must do when looking for evidence is determine what your main goal is, or Why you’re doing it. What are you trying to prove? What are your immediate goals within the courtroom? Sometimes, all you’re really doing is proving a set of realities to yourself, or keeping yourself informed. This would be an absolutely acceptable, or even admirable, use of this chapter. Of course, proving something to others works too.

The second thing you must do in any situation is to identify all of the other Whats that are there, with you, in it. Yes, I said any. This is a great mindset to have 24/7, so try to use it as often as possible. Keep in mind, Whats include people, places, times, ideas, intentions, items, colors, traits, and so much more. It includes every little detail that you can find out about. Be certain in your observations. Do not note down uncertainties, not yet. Observing is a critical first step towards understanding the truest reality, and observation is all about keeping track of What is real. I’ll tell you what, (pun intended) let’s use an example, shall we? 

Let’s go back to an old example from when I spoke of projection, and we'll see if you remember. SO! "You’re standing outside of a pub. There’s a dead horse laying on the side of the road, his head lying at the foot of an old light post. A man walks out of the pub holding a beer bottle. He kicks the horse, then continues to walk down the sidewalk. He stumbles a bit after a while, but he stands up straight again and walks around the corner, out of your sight, but not out of your mind. Tell me. What do you know about the man?"

 

 

Really take a good long look, and think about your answer, and post it in the comments. This is a test. Try to pass it with flying colors, will you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Okay. Here’s what you know. You know that he walked out of the pub, that he stumbled a bit, that he kicked a horse, and that he was holding a beer bottle. That’s it. That’s all you know for certain. 

Your brain might make up all sorts of stories, but you can’t be certain that they’re true. Your mind just LOVES to fill in the blanks. You probably visualized things I didn’t even say. Maybe you assumed the road was a dirt road, or pavement. You couldn’t have known which I intended. You still don’t, but you visualized it anyways. You might have imagined a pub in a city, or you might have imagined an old saloon from some western movie. No matter the design of the pub, you couldn’t have known that’s what I intended. I said he was holding a beer bottle. I never said it was open, and you don’t know what happened inside the pub. He might have gone out with some friends, bought a beer, got a text that they weren’t gonna make it, and asked the bartender if he could just bring the beer home with him so he can watch a football game with his favorite beverage. You don’t know the rules of the pub, and you don’t know that all pubs only sell beer in a glass. You have no. idea. who this man is, or what his intentions were, what his beliefs are, nothing. You know that he walked out of a pub. You know he kicked a horse, though I never said he did it hard, it might have just been a tap to see if it was alive. He may have actually wanted to help, if he could. You know he stumbled, maybe it was winter and there was ice. It could have been slippery out there, and you know that he was holding a beer bottle, one that might never have been open, or may never be opened at all."

The key here is to note that this last paragraph is NOT a collection of all you know. What you know, is that he walked out of the pub, that he stumbled a bit, that he kicked a horse, and that he was holding a beer bottle. That is What you know. All your other assumptions are ideas that you have, about How they MIGHT be connected. First, you should collect your Whats, and take your time doing it, making sure that all of them are known to be true, for certain. What I mean by this is, did you experience them through your 5 basic senses. Write them down as such: “I heard…”, “I saw…”, “I felt…”, “I smelled”, “I tasted…” and so on. NEVER WRITE THEM AS OUTSIDE OF YOU. It’s not “She missed me.” It’s “I heard her say that she missed me.”

 

List out as many of those observations as you can.

After that, you can focus on How they're connected, and I'll teach you how to answer that, in the next chapter. There's another way to view this as well, and that's to view it as several Whats, as in:

What do I want?

 

What do I have?

 

What's in my way?

 

and

 

What do I need, but do not have, that I must obtain, in order to get What I want?

 

 

These are great questions for just about any project in life. It's very hard to achieve a goal without first asking "Why hasn't this dream already happened?". The key words here are “Why not?”. When someone says “No.” you ask them (Although is nicer and less direct words) “Why not?”.

 

"Why aren't they already doing, what I'm trying to persuade them to do?”. This is a way to focus the majority of our efforts with much more effectiveness and efficiency. It doesn't just work for persuading people, though. It also works, for persuading reality. We all have the ability to persuade "God", no matter what "God" means to you. These are 4 big questions that you should always ask when making a set of plans, and it is definitely to be done BEFORE you act. Even when your action is to prosecute or defend, because in the past, these questions, plus the traits of patience and persistence, have almost always led me to success.

 

But let me rephrase these questions, to suit our purposes better, and be a more specific example:

Here, in the court, you should always be asking,

 

"What truth do I want to find?"

 

"What truths do I have"

 

 

"What is the problem with these truths, as of right now?" 

(A good first answer to start with is that you don't know How they're really connected yet)

 

and finally:

 

"What facts do I need to be added, to be certain of my truths?"

 

 

It's much easier to know if your idea of reality works or not, when you know if the fundamental facts are strong enough for your idea to exist, within our predetermined truths. This is the point of the second question: "What truths do I have?", because if you have every resource that you needed to get things done, then achieving what you want just becomes a whole lot easier. The simple rules to follow, in terms of justice, are these my friends:

First, it's much easier to have all of the truths that you need from a situation, if you simply have ALL the truths, period.

And second: If you haven't missed anything in the situation, then you can't have missed anything that you NEEDED from the situation.

So again, first, we observe, we REALLY observe, and only after that, do we analyze. First we focus on our Whats and then, afterwards, we focus on our Hows.
