So I'm going to hit tab, lay down a geometry node, put it here, I'm going to call this Particle Source. And then inside that, I'm going to delete out this file node, I'm going to make an object merge, hit the P key, I'm going to pull up the parameters and I'm going to go to scene, and this out for particle source null.
