or to be a bit kind of manipulative and to try and

like dominate people and control people and get them to do what you want.

And this is sort of letting go both of those and just letting the truth sort of speak for itself and come out in a very direct way.

And when you do that, it tends to be very potent.

One of the reasons I've specifically included the Kali element is because it's interesting actually, there's even something a bit gendered here maybe where it's like, there's a lot of pressure to not speak the truth.

in our society and maybe in all societies.

There has to be a fierceness and a fierce commitment.

Kali is a goddess, she has a sword, she'll cut off people's heads in the mythology.

It's just really letting the truth just say the thing that is true regardless.

The gendered piece is maybe specifically, she's a female feminine goddess,

the truth I'm talking about is not necessarily like a rational, logical, oh, this is the objective, ultimate truth.

It's like as much the kind of like felt embodied elements of experience truth and kind of like letting your truth be present and part of what's here.

And yeah, that can be quite disruptive.

And I think there's something important about

About the archetype where it's saying like it's powerful to disrupt and say the difficult thing and let the truth be spoken.

So that was the sort of importance of it, including the Kali element.

So it's like the wholehearted truth, yeah.

So people will have a tendency which is they might be wanting to kind of like dominate and say things that are trying to impress or trying to like put other people down or I guess that's kind of what I'm imagining when you say being a jerk.

The truth would actually be if someone's sort of like dominating to put other people down in order to like feel good about themselves,

The truth would be someone saying, well, right now I want to like say something that puts you down so it makes me feel good about myself.
