Mental (Environmental) Authority in Human Design
Mental (Environmental) Authority is how you make decisions you can trust. No inner authority in the body. Clarity comes from being in the right place and talking it through with others, then noticing what rings true in what you hear and say. Go somewhere that feels right and talk it through with people you trust. It belongs to Projectors.

Using mental (environmental) authority means go somewhere that feels right and talk it through with people you trust
Go somewhere that feels right and talk it through with people you trust. Listen to them and to your own voice. The answer shows up as recognition, not as an inner yes.
What it feels like when it speaks
Recognition: something rings true when it gets said. The answer comes from the outside in, through conversation and place.
It comes from outside the body
With no motor or awareness centre defining the decision, clarity comes from hearing yourself talk it through with trusted people, in the right place. They are a sounding board, not advisers.
How it works with each type that has it
Authority sits inside strategy: the strategy says when to engage, the authority says whether to.
Projectors with mental (Environmental) Authority
Strategy: To Wait For Invitation. Wait until someone asks before you tell them what you see, at work, in love and at home. Then let the mental authority decide.
The mistakes people make with it
Waiting for an inner yes that isn't part of your design, and feeling broken without it. Deciding in the wrong place, or handing the decision to someone else instead of using them as a sounding board.
