Naming truth

Naming truth

There is an art to removing extraneous words and naming the truth that lies beneath people’s actions, including ours.

This is the meaning of the expression, ‘The Truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.’

What is the truth, using the fewest words, that cuts through the noise?

When we hear these words, we exhale. Yes. This. This is it.

To reach the truth that lies below the word salad, we might ask a series of questions.

These questions are not ones that can be answered in one easy pass. Sometimes they take weeks, or years.

The 7 Step Process of Speaking the Truth is one way to go about this. The questions require an inner excavation, a confrontation of our truth that we may or may not see or claim.

Like any communication process, learning to speak the truth is a practice toward mastery.

It is like sifting all that is not, from all that is.

When we do this well, our words become a transmission.

This matters even more in an increasingly complex world, where multiple moving parts collide, and elected officials do their best to obfuscate and lie.

It takes time. Commitment. Staying in the question. Sifting through.

Before we rush to summarise, before we jump into the overcrowded noise of opinions and talking heads, we might be wise to seek to understand the truth.

**Our next cohort for the Dare to Care Workshop, where we cover the 7-step process and other elements of speaking the truth, commences in August. Registration is open here. https://syntropic.world/dare-to-care/

Beauty of Beginnings - July 2nd - A letter to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Australia

July 2nd 2025 A letter to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Australia A letter to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Australia Dear Ms Wong, My impression of you is that you are a decent and good person. Yet I wonder why you and the Prime Minister are so profoundly silent on the atrocities in Gaza? I wonder if you are captured by the Israeli lobby? Or so caught under the hegemony of the USA? It simply doesn’t make sense that the Labour government is so complicit in what most experts in...

Beauty of Beginnings - July 1st - How shocking

July 1st 2025 How shocking How shocking I love the grassroots movements of art, music and culture. Festivals have shocked the world. Woodstock is an example of counterculture for the boomer generation. The same generation reluctant to give up their entitlements to enable our youth a better future in 2025. Over this past weekend, we had Glastonbury in the UK. Claiming people are dangerous terrorists because they speak up against genocide is business as usual in many parts of the world,...

Beauty of Beginnings - June 30th - Empires fall

June 30th 2025 Empires fall Empires fall It is the law of gravity. What goes up comes down. In these last desperate days for the US Empire, all the patterns of demise are there. Greedy, vainglorious rulers who spit on the ‘common’ people. Capture by big money blinded by their historical black gold rise to wealth, dinosaurs in lag. Holding countries hostage, bullying the tactic of choice. Increasing disparity between the haves and have-nots. Desperate acts of violence to sway rogue countries...
