Inspired Action - 97 Metal: The Art of Wanting to Want Nothing

97 Metal: The Art of Wanting to Want Nothing

07/06/22 • 32 min

Inspired Action
What do Metals really want? They may want a fancy new car, an amazing trip around the world, or the perfect romance, but deep down they want to be free from attachment and ultimately let go of wanting altogether. In this episode, we will discuss Metal’s desire to grasp the ineffable and of course their ability to see the shenanigans going on all around them!

“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
Thought Quotes:

“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?.”

96 Digging Deeper to Find the Center of the Earths

Searching for Truth, Harmony, and Belonging among the rubble....When you ask yourself what you really want and the first things you think about is everyone else you care about... you may be Earth! But can you put aside everyone else’s needs to discover what you really want?

“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
Thought Quotes:

“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.”

98 Surfing the Wu Wei waves of Water

What do Waters really want? Ocean, tsunami, still pond, frozen water, stagnant swamp... or playing on the Slip-N-Slide! It’s all good! Waters want fun and intensity... and they want to matter.

“Waters inherently know they are here to experience the limited physical body within the unlimited universe.”

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram What does Water REALLY want?
  • Water has the ability to shift between varying states of being, sometimes within a single day.
  • Waters’ true nature best described as a state of stillness and movement happening simultaneously.
  • Waters seek excitement and intensity; being able to really dive into things.
  • Waters want experiences and adventures; this could mean traveling and exploring, or it could mean reading about the adventures of others.
  • Waters are all about wisdom, getting to the deeper knowing that’s underneath the fabric of existence.
  • Waters want to feel like their existence will matter; that somehow their presence here mattered.
  • To answer the What Do I Really Want Question, Waters have to really get to Trust and this will bring them to the peace of mind in knowing that every next footstep is the right next footstep.
  • Some Waters want their legacy to be teaching and imparting their wisdom to others, so that they can know that they really mattered.
Thought Quotes:

“Waters are so great in emergency because they’ve got that ability to be really active on the outside but calm cucumbers on the inside.”

“Waters, more than any other element, are acutely aware of time. This drives them to make the best of their lives.”

“Each water has a different idea of what’s safe to do, but they like to push the edge of that.”
