The third to sixth steps

On to the third rung.We assign meaning to the information we have filtered through.This is where we start to interpret what our information is telling us.On our fourth rung,a very crucial thing happens.We develop assumptions based on the meaning we created on the previous rung,and we start to blur the distinction between what is fact and what is story.On the fifth rung,we develop conclusions based on our assumptions.This is also where our emotional reactions are created.On the sixth rung,we adjust our beliefs about the world around us,including the person or people involved in our experience of the moment.
