You Are a Reality Detective

One of the very important jobs that you have in life is to be a reality detective. That role involves trying to very slowly get a better and better idea about what type of being you are and what type of universe you live in.  

The number one rule of any good detective is: don't throw away clues. In your lifetime you will be given many clues that can help you get a better and better idea about what type of being you are and what type of universe you live in.  An extremely important rule is: don't throw away any observations you make or any fact you learn or any reliable testimony you hear about that could be a very important clue about such questions. 

Some of the very important clues you may get in life may be facts that you learn, such as the fact that every proton has precisely the same electrical charge as every electron, but with an opposite sign, or facts involving the short lifetimes of brain proteins, or facts involving the enormous hierarchical organization and component interdependence in the human body. Other very important clues you may get in life may come in the form of strange things you see, strange dreams you have, strange experiences you have, or strange things that show up in your photos. Other clues may come in the form of amazing accounts by reliable witnesses. An extremely important rule is: never throw away anything that might be a very important clue as to what type of being you are and what type of universe you live in.  You are a reality detective, and good detectives don't throw away clues. Whenever you observe or learn anything that might be an important clue about who you are and what type of universe you live in, write it down somewhere, save it, date it, and classify it. 

The universe may give you only so many clues about its nature and your nature, and every possibly important clue on these topics should be saved as surely as you would save a diamond dropping from the sky. Never say, "I'm not sure this is an important clue so I'll discard it." Save anything that might be an important clue, and you can ponder later whether it is important. If you doubt whether a clue is important, just save a private record of it. 

Slowly collect clues, and slowly, carefully ponder their implications. A crime detective needs to work fast, but a reality detective works over a time scale of decades.
