121: The Authority Series: Exploring the environmental authority with three mental projectors
If you’re a mental projector, like me, you’re already a pretty rare human design type. All mental projectors have “environmental” authority.
So in today’s episode, I’m chatting with two fellow mental projectors. We’re chatting about our personal experiences as mental projectors, how we’ve each learned to get out of our heads and into our bodies, and the challenges and nuances that we each experience with our decision-making authority.
If you’re a mental projector, I hope this episode resonates with you and encourages you to explore your authority further.
What you’ll find in this episode:
[03:24] What it was like for each of us when we found out we were mental projectors, and what it’s like being a mental projector and how it’s different from other projector types
[14:57] The differences and similarities in how we each individually approach our environmental authority, and the nuances in decision-making that exist for each mental projector
[27:01] The challenges that can come with this authority, including finding people you trust to soundboard with, and the importance of continuing to use your authority, even when things don’t always go according to “plan”
[38:32] Where our strongest areas of conditioning show up for each of us

Quotes:
[00:04:44] Janelle: I realized how special and cool it was and how unique our energy is and how necessary we are for this universe or this planet. [00:04:56][12.7]
[00:13:13] Rebeka: With our projector aura, our penetrating aura, we go straight into people and it's like, that's how we're designed to be conditioned so that we can guide, right. [00:13:22][8.6]
[00:14:22] Janelle: It's not like there's a book to learn how to be a mental projector, you kind of just need to be around that energy. [00:14:29][6.7]
[00:19:30] Rebeka: So that's the main thing that I want other mental projectors to understand, is that we have inner authority, we have it. It's just that we access it in this kind of inconsistent way because we have the undefined body and that's why the environment is so important. [00:19:48][18.0]
[00:23:35] Janelle: Mental projectors fall back on the logic. I feel like all of them do. But the body, you can trust it and you can listen to it. [00:23:43][8.2]
[00:25:02] Janelle: I need help, I need guidance. And it was like saying, No, no, you actually need a lot less structure than you think. You're trying to control too much as it is. [00:25:11]
