I genuinely do not prefer politeness

[GentleReckoning]

You need a really strong foundation of the lower triad to open yourself up honestly. As the lower 3 support the heart and further the throat for honest communication, it's a pretty straightforward path. Without the foundation of the lower 3, you can get honest communication with others, but it will always push your orange pretty hard and will destroy your yellow ray. The red ray is simply strengthened as fears are challenged and desire is expressed towards others without fear of personal harm.

For whatever reason, I went from the heart to the throat without any of the requisite lower ray work. I got much value from it, but am just now re-attempting the work that I began about a year ago.
