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! Here’s an excerpt:
"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
Page 348
sight, but not out of your mind. Tell me. What do you know about the man?"
This is a test. Try to pass it with flying colors, will you?
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.
The key here is noticing what it is that you do NOT 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, 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 in 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 should definitely be done BEFORE you act. I suggest you even use them when your action is to prosecute or defend, because in the past, the more we asked these questions, the more success me and my teams have succeeded.
But let me rephrase these questions, to suit our purposes better, and be a more specific example:
Page 350
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.
I’m going to give you a bit of a spoiler from the “Finding” Section of Book 2. (I don’t know… I’m just feeling generous today.)
You see, when finding anything, including the truth (especially hidden truths) it’s best to treat them like a card in a shuffled deck. Some of the most useful, and everyday ways of doing this are through combinations of techniques, but I’ll just give you a quick combo here:
When finding for what most people miss, it’s best to look for any unexpected things that you see, ESPECIALLY the ones that are only slightly unexpected, and then to see:
A.) Why they’re unexpected (What assumptions you had that they make you question.)
And
B.) What these unexpected things are most often associated with.
For example, if you tell a girl something flirty, and she frowns instead of smiles, that frown should be noted as “unexpected”. This does not necessarily mean that she’s uninterested, but it does show you’re missing something. Think about what’s associated with what you said (Even outside of romance) plus what makes people like her frown. See if you can find How they fit together for the next chapter — Because these Hows are often the most powerful. That’s it for spoilers. Good Luck!
