The key is listen to everything like Sherlock Holmes. Never believe a word until you have heard all the evidence from every possible side.
I live my life that way. Nothing is fixed or right, it was ciphered or plagerized or altered somewhere before I got it.
All the masters will tell you as will smart people that finding the right sources is the key. Do you know how many people waste a lifetime going down a rabbit hole someone else already went down for us. Leaving us a palethra of data to show us it has been proven to be from a different origin or what have you, but not the answer we were looking for.
Bodhidharma spent nine years staring at the wall in a cave, when Buddha already said in his original works that was not the path to enlightenment. It has been said that Bodhidharma later said he wished he would have practiced the Law Flower Sutra.
Then after 30 years of looking at everything you can that was - of interest, and on subject - you start to see the world as it really is.
I studied monotheistic text, and many ancient Buddhist text, and the Vedas for years, and eventually you find the best scholars that know the original source.. This goes for every subject. You need to seek out those that have done the real work and have traveled the long hard journey...
Buddha said one must have the right teacher to grow wise and obtain enlightenment. When asked, what is enlightenment he stated, "I see this realm as it really is."
After years of absorbing everything, one can naturally come to know what happened in the past, and how this realm functions and it's true holographic nature.
