97 Metal: The Art of Wanting to Want Nothing
Inspired Action
07/06/22 • 32 min
“It’s like they’re just sitting back in their lazy-boy chair, watching the rest of us go through all our machinations... and they just see it for what it really is — a bunch of shenanigans.”
By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram What does Metal REALLY want?- Metal has the ability to “see through” other people
- Metals want – nothing. When you’re living in the Dao, how can you want anything?
- You exit into life and enter into death. Metals live in-between
- Metals have no boundary of time and space
- Metal Movies: Nomadland, Call Me By Your Name, Lost in Translation, Wings of Desire, the Tree of Life, and The Fountain
- Metals want to fly free on their magic carpet rides but at the same time have deep connection
- To answer the What Do I Really Want Question, Metals have to imagine they have no obligations and then ask the question
“Nothing really matters – to me!”
“It’s like Steve Jobs took the best of Wood and their love of gadgetry and combined it with the best of Metal and their love of clean lines and beautiful design, and built a company on those high values – and what a success that was!”
“To want nothing... in Daoism, well, that just means you’re living in the Dao. How can you even have a want from that place?.”

“When we use the word HOME in this podcast, we’re talking about... anything that gives a person a sense of belonging.”
By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram What does Earth REALLY want?- What does Earth really want? Deeper understanding of themselves and the people in their lives!
- The Home Palace – it’s about belonging and spiritual connection
- When the focus is on others – those who are struggling
- When Earth is depleted – Earth crisis
- Seeking Peace of Mind
- Pursuing deeper realizations and the power of THOUGHT
- Why Earths make great pyschologists
- Relax your mind and let your heart give you the answer to your What Do I Really Want question
“It’s resolved. That feeling like, “Yup, we dug deep, we worked it out, and now we can move on.” That’s what drives them. That feels like success.”
“Put aside this very strong desire for your loved ones to be well. Let’s make it hypothetical. Let’s say you already have your wish that your family members all have peace and harmony – now, let’s have you ask the question – What do YOU really want – for yourself, deep down.”
“Let your analytical mind relax a bit... don’t think, and let the answers arise from deep inside yourself, from a place beyond mind.”

Inspired Action
05/09/22 • 32 min
“The Fire heart is like a big furnace, they’re looking for passion through other people and social circumstances that fuels the furnace – those are the Fire Starters... those little sticks and crumpled up pieces of paper that really help bring them back from the barely burning coals, so they can burn brighter.”
By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram What does Fire REALLY want?- What does Fire really want? To burn brightly in the world!
- The Social Palace – if it was one of the Nine Palaces – it would be a Fire palace
- Acceptance allows Fires to feel safe to burn brightly
- Why Fires need to be loved – by EVERYONE
- What happens when a Fire’s fire goes out...
- Restarting a Fire’s fire
- Excitement and wildfires
- Why some Fires can’t receive love
- How some Fires get burned out
- The Prosperity Palace and why it’s so hard
“They think everyone has to love them all the time and then they get shocked because they put their hearts on their sleeves and then someone comes along and knocks their ice cream cone on the ground.”
“And that’s a Fire’s life. Sometimes people are mean, but you manage to keep your coals burning low, or something bigger happens and the Fire goes completely out. And it takes a lot longer to bring it back up.”
“They want to share good things and have people benefit and be excited about what they’re excited about and have it spread like wildfire.”
