Learning How To Audit External Sources

In the lab that we just finished you have learned the skill to be able to get a yes or no question answered with physical feedback. If you are not yet at the level of communication with your team of complex sentences or thoughts, then at the very least you have the ability to ask yes or no questions to see if the information you are receiving from someone else, or the internet is valid. Sometimes this one can get a little bit hairy because it doesn’t mean that all the information is valid, maybe only a piece of it is valid, so you’re getting a “yes” answer but there’s part of the article or the page that you’re reading that seems not to fit right. Trust that intuition it’s never just a simple as “is everything I read on the page true?” You will start to realize that there’s an emotional communication that comes with that as well and perhaps you will have to refine your questions and make them more specific, maybe even line by line. Maybe broaden the way that you’re asking the question. For example, “is there truth in everything I read on the page?” because you also have to allow that some information out there might be true for somebody else, but it may not be true for you. Allow yourself to notice those little inputs as your reading over something or learning something and your team is at work in the background. Have you ever tried to read a page online and it took you four or five times rereading the page for you to actually understand what you’re reading? This may have been your team blocking that because it was information that you didn’t need or maybe you were chasing a rabbit down a hole. Have you ever read a page and you’re only the second line in and all of a sudden it felt like you had to read the entire page and then words come and process very easily with no reason? This could be your team highlighting the information for you as information you do need. Don’t be afraid to audit outside sources using your own intuition and then learn how to trust that input.
