Understanding Mental Authority
Mental authority, also known as higher mind intuition, is a type of authority found in human design. It is characterized by using one's own observations and thoughts to make rational decisions. Unlike other types of authority, mental authority individuals rely on what makes sense to them rather than following societal expectations or logical reasoning. For example, when deciding whether to go to college, a mental authority person would only choose to enroll if it personally makes sense to them, rather than blindly following societal conventions. Furthermore, mental authority individuals have undefined energy centers in the lower half of their chart, allowing them to pick up and process information from others. By tapping into their sensitivities and using their minds to sift through the gathered data, mental authority individuals can come to logical decisions that align with their unique perspectives.
The Importance of Following Your Authority
In human design, it is emphasized that each individual should focus on mastering their energy type, strategy, and authority. Following one's authority is seen as one of the most impactful aspects of human design. For individuals without a mental authority, relying solely on logic may not align with their true authority. It is important for them to review and be aware of their specific authority, such as sacral authority, emotional authority, or others, to guide their decision-making process. By following their own authority, individuals ensure that their choices are true to their own unique desires and preferences, even if it contradicts societal or logical expectations.
The Unique Role of Mental Projectors
Mental authority is extremely rare and is exclusive to projectors. Projectors with mental authority, known as mental projectors, have the ability to make rational and logical decisions based on what personally makes sense to them. They are advised to be cautious of societal norms or expectations and focus on what they personally believe to be logical and reasonable. Mental projectors have the advantage of being able to tap into the emotions, fears, desires, and instincts of others through the undefined energy centers in their lower half charts. This sensitivity provides valuable data that helps them formulate logical decisions based on their mental authority. These individuals should utilize their ability to gather information and make decisions that align with their unique perspectives, rather than blindly following conventional wisdom.
