let it simmer

Attend to the fire. Stir the pot.
Taste and spice accordingly.
Be ready for extra guests.

“The world is changed.
I feel it in the water.
I feel it in the earth.
I smell it in the air.
Much that once was, is lost.
For none now live who remember it”

from: Fellowship of the Ring

For those of us who still remember the thrill of putting a cassette tape back together, winding it up with a pencil;
But also for those who burned their own CDs.

The ones who experienced weekends that stretched into eternities.
Yet were always closed with that astringent Sunday night.

Were hit by the single spark that turned a peer into a lover.
All ingredients had been there all along, but you didn’t see it until the opportunity was served to you on a platter.
An unexpected moment of sweetness.

We have a choice to make whether we bother to recreate these recipes, now that we may still be able to find the ingredients.

Because the rich, tactile, physical experience of being our own sovereign being without being connected through our phones;
It will not return by itself.

But retrieval will come at tremendous cost.
We will not get a good deal on this, and be paying full price.

What are you willing to sacrifice, to gain the full flavor of your life back?

Your connection to the digital world?
Series you have been able to make smalltalk with?
Being up to date on the news?

Recording your life as if it’s a performance?

Because I suspect it’s all still there under the watery surface and the stale overcooked pulp.

The delicacy of the moments that feel like a lifetime.
The transitory, feeding us tender bites that melt on our tongue.
The fumes penetrating our clothes.

Will you leave behind the life that forced you to consume so shallow?
Your body and all its senses starving.
And you know what will happen if you fail.
Then this will be what life tastes like, until the end of your days.

Or will you start making proper meals, once more?

ABOUT THE LOST POST SERIES

I have been consistently posting “What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today” for a while now.
Starting June 2023, they found their final form as blogposts here on the Catacombe blog, pretty quickly.

But I’ve always been aware there were singular posts/ borderline poetry, still on social media, floating somewhere down my timeline.

Some at the beginning when I did not know what this series would be.
Some around the time in October/November 2023, when I lost access to this site.
And then a few in between.

And in addition to that there are the ones I did post on the blog, but whose stories revolve around things I no longer offer.
I will retrieve those too;
And give them a new story, that has the timeless quality they deserve.

Lesson | 2026 02 24 | That ONE Book (start at any page)

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

It is never in the doing of the thing.
Not in the having, not in the seeing, not in the measuring, not in the actual experience, not in the validation, the accolades, the praise or the approval.

It, the dream, the goal, the new life of unicorns and rainbows exists only in the inner-world.
And sometimes we will see it reflected in the outer, and sometimes we will not.

You may have heard of the idea that your thoughts create your life.
And we may have different opinions on the extend of this, which is cool. I’m not even sure what my opinion is on that, to be honest.
But still, we can agree to disagree, if needed.

However, what I will tell you with utmost conviction, and I would be annoyingly persistent on this because I believe your life could one day be dependent on it, so what I will tell you is this:
The good can come if it already existed inside of you.

No outside power will force feed you your blessings and you would not be able to digest them anyway.
But most of all, there is absolutely no way you (or I) would be able to hold on to them.

In the unlikely case we would receive good fortune that we do not have the internal soil for to plant it into, symbol of our fertile consciousness that is ready to welcome these blessings;
It cannot root and will evaporate and disappear.

A long time ago, I went on a quest to develop my sexuality.

I found a guide on spiritual sexuality for women and it immediately shot root.
I understood this idea of who I would “become” if I started living it.

When the journey ended, I looked back realizing I had taken the long route.
There had been nothing I needed to do.

That one single moment when I embraced the idea;
I was already there.

This week episode 4:
🏟️📚💿🖼️Rocking big projects
| CREATOR series w. troll dolls
—

In CREATOR we make our art/content, but you can plan anything with this system.

Welcome to The New Rock Star Channel.
We use the analogy of planning one week of a rock star tour, where the choice for different gigs symbolize the art your post on your social media.

The only rule for these videos is:
– no preparation
Because any process you don’t know by heart, belongs in the trash bin!

video recorded on Monday 23 February 2026

In this video;

1. Welcome to a new episode in the CREATOR series 00:00
Today we’re going to tackle two situations which you may know from your own creative practice:
– the concept of content planning
Which is not popular with creatives, but here me out 😉
– handling things that have a long runtime
For example a traditional concert tour that takes 12-18 months of preparation

2. Rock your big projects example 1: Planning a tour 01:00
With our very modern Tourmanager🦸🏻‍♂️ Daddy
Who only plans one week ahead for his band!
Because it really illustrates how we can plan our bigger pieces of content.

First we walk through the traditional process of 12-18 months of planning a tour;
And then we compare it to a process where you only plan for 1 week ahead.

3. Rock your big projects example 2: Planning a book 06:09
First we walk through the traditional process of 12-18 months of planning a book;
And then we compare it to a process where you would only plan smaller pieces.
And avoid many of the risks tied to projects that have long runtimes.

The CREATOR system encourages you to break up big projects into smaller increments that deliver both you and your audience value sooner, and reduce risk.

4. Content planning 10:16
Why it so hated, how to appreciate it, and when content planning will save your art.

Regular content planning misses the element of creativity, and is typically setup to function for businesses who want their content to drive sales.
Not for artists who want to create a body of work, or build an audience.

5. Planning done right 11:15
Plan based on what YOU value, in a broader and personal sense and not automatically what makes the money.

F.e.:
“What are three posts that have the biggest artistic impact?”
“Have borderline disruptive, rebellious quality?”

This planning system can work in favor of your own creative agenda, and you do not have to see yourself as a work horse.

6. Bigger or more complicated content REQUIRES planning
Flow based creativity is amazing, but bigger pieces of content require planning.

Knowing how to plan, can be a wonderful addition to giving yourself free rein with your smaller, easier pieces.
Planning broadens your range of what you can create.

I sometimes wonder what will happen if it doesn’t amount to anything. If no one will remember my work, or worse, if I lose the work.
Through an internet fallout, just like in the movie Bladerunner 2049, clearing all data we have ever stored.
Or, less futuristic, if a fire or a flood destroys all my notebooks, both the paper ones as well as my computer notebooks.
How will I cope?
What will it mean?

Rutger Hauer, the actor who played in the original Bladerunner in 1983, documented his life and kept memorabilia of all the films he was involved with.
They were all stored in Los Angeles yet they were all lost in a flood.
All the careful collecting and documenting did not amount into a record of his life or teachings, the way he had intended.

Now obviously this does not mean it was in vain. But with the broader purpose of serving those who came after him gone, its meaning can now only be found in the personal, and no longer in the public.

And it makes you wonder: Does a future audience even exist?
Or are these mirages we cling to in order to avoid confronting our own desires?
Which could be deemed self-centered.

However, what we do know with certainty is that Rutger Hauer became the most well-known Dutch actor who ever lived. And that even without the personal archive it is not hard to see he built it with his own impressive, bare hands.
Deliberately, but with a lot of trial and error, painful lessons and sacrifice.

Focusing on the project at hand, week after week, month after month, year after year.
Today’s work, not tomorrows legacy.
He built what could not be washed away, burned nor buried.

His character Roy Batty dies in Bladerunner with the prophetic words:
“All those moments will be lost in time.” 

Or maybe they never will.

Ascend | 2026 02 17| That ONE Book (start at any page)

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

After 8 years of despair, anger and emotional isolation that seemed to last forever, I’ve finally come out the other side.
Fulfilled. Renewed. And for lack of a better word: Happy!
Intense, like the sun on your skin after eons of darkness.

And I am so grateful to be alive, yet at the same time I suspect my death also already happened.
Or maybe just my acquired personality?
That I am now the same person, as the child I once was.
Because it does feel vaguely familiar.

Death has become meaningless to me, but unfortunately so did many of the things I once valued.
My heart is no longer in it.

It’s like one of the first things I learned about running a business, that you had to go from working IN your business to ON, your business.
In much the same way I am no longer IN my life.
I’m outside looking in, or visiting.
Without any desire to be indoors.

The phase I’m in now is probably best described as “recalibration”!
A strange process of finding out what is still valuable or meaningful to me.

I also feel a strong desire to fill my life with purposeful work, art, beauty, hope and positivity.
And zero stress!
Stress would definitely be a sign of having ended up “inside” of life.
Where I can’t see nor know what’s actually going on.

My life carries so much more meaning now, its colors are so vibrant, its textures so rich.
At the same time it’s empty and the separation seems final.
This is it.

I would not wish this path upon anyone, and yet now that I am through it, its gifts are undeniable.
I am happy, free, and there is childlike joy and wonder, in the smallest things.

Now, here, after 8 years, I can see I was never taken out to learn a lesson or be delayed.
But to be saved.

Rock Star Take On SEXUALITY
| WINTER 2026
| The New Rock Star Channel
—

The New Rock Star Channel is back!
With a new format:
– 10 minute video
– no preparation

This week, the twenty-fifth video.
A Rock Star Take On SEXUALITY

video recorded Wednesday 11 February 2026

In this video;

1. We’re back! 00:00
With our seasonal episode of a Rock Star Take on SEXUALITY
These videos are pretty dry and once every three months I spice things up at least a little bit, by using this topic.

Despite the rule that I don’t prepare these videos;
I did prepare this one!
Because I already recorded this video, but it wasn’t good.
I had to delete, so this is the second time I am recording it.

But the redo of this video just tie into our topic;
Because we’re going to talk about Sexual Journeys!
Which usually take longer than you anticipate and end up being full of unexpected problems.

2. What is “a journey”? 01:26
It’s when people deliberately take on transforming an area of their life.
A Sexual Journey means you intentionally set foot on the path of developing your sexuality.
Which I something I did but my Sexual Journey was twenty years ago, so we didn’t call it “a Journey” then.

It’s not in the video this way, but in 2026 terms;
My entire sexuality needed to a glow-up!

3. My Sexual Journey 02:39
All I knew was that I would regret it, if I died and without at least trying, to get the love life I really wanted. My sex life had not been up-to-par for a long time and I knew it was me, not my partner.
From my perspective, my entire sexuality needed to be “redone”😅!

4. My Journey 05:25
My goal was to go through that sweet cycle of falling in love and becoming lovers, a few more times. That was the idea.
And although nothing went as planned, I did come out the other side completely renewed and I did not regret leaving my relationship behind for this.
Which was a price I had been prepared to pay.

5. keys: 🔑Start Strong, 🔑Outer-pushback and 🔑inner-demons 06:42

🔑Start Strong
Just like a real journey to a physical location, a metaphorical journey should include a thorough plan, preparation and some professional support does not hurt either.

🔑Outer-pushback and 🔑inner-demons
We all understand that on any journey we will bump into our own unhealthy patterns and that we will need to transcend our limitations.
But if you go on a sexual journey? Then the response from society is definitely your biggest foe.

A Sexual Journey is an incredibly powerful path, but also one of the very few that will give you a ruthless reveal of the truth about who you have surrounded yourself with.
And how shockingly little room there really is, for you to make your own choices.
Not without consequence.

Next up a Rock Star Take On

It will go out on this blog.

Definitely the right moment to find this “writing prompt”!
You get it straight from the horse’s mouth because I can count myself one life experience richer, concerning the allure of the mediocre.

If they ever get the biblical story fact checked, I think they’ll discover the snake seduced Eve not with education but with a one-way ticket to a mediocre life.
Something to which Adam was immediately on board with as well.

And ironically I think I was so quick to catch this one, like a hair in my soup, because of the extra years since writing the opening paragraph.

So even though it were my words, learning to recognize the danger of the mediocre is something you can always get better at.
This time it was about a business card I had designed, for a new profession.
On the back I printed a futuristic, Blade Runner-like composition, a vibe I had chosen for this profession.

It was more than a graphic design choice because this represented my mission:
I want my work to still stand, in a post-apocalyptic world.

The cyber-punk image on the back of my business card was a promise, a testament and a warning:
“We’re going to build for it to hold.”

I also tied my business card to my location: Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Indicating where I am geographically speaking, but also where my focus will be.
Nijmegen got its city rights in the year 98.

My job will be to make sure it holds another 2000 years.

I showed it and the response to the picture on the back, was that it was not professional.

Professional, Rock Star, will get you the job.
Lose everything you stand for.

And it will be our downfall.

The 3D | 2026 02 10| That ONE Book (start at any page)

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

Like with the 5 senses, I got so used to there being more that I forgot what the normal amount was.
We say “the 6th sense” when we mean things based on intuition, on instinct or even paranormal.
It’s everything that cannot be perceived with the other 5 senses:
Taste, smell, sight, hearing, and feeling.

But where the 6th sense is basically an umbrella term, naming dimensions seems to be a science.
Even though to someone remarkably uneducated on the subject (me), what lies beyond our dimension is as much of a black box as everything outside our senses.

My guess is dimensions are a more competitive field, probably due to more scientific involvement.
When no one cares enough to specify the term 6th sense.

I have heard the 3D being extrapolated up to the 12th dimension.
With the 5D being a popular sphere to talk about on YouTube.
According to spiritual YouTube channels, many of us are ascending into this 5th dimension, but the realm of the 3D stays around for those who are not ready to ascend.
The dimensions intersect and it’s not a rapture where the baddies get left behind.

I’ve also heard the fourth dimension being one of love, of the heart.
So if you live from selfless, pure love, then you are in the 4th dimension.
But despite remembering these things from 2024-ish YouTube, I consider myself dimension illiterate.

I did consider diving into it today, so I could tell you what I learned. But the first thing I read is that there is no consensus. Physics, mathematics, and spirituality all have different interpretations of what dimensions are.

So I figure we might as well resort to only having one word for everything not in the 3D.

I’m pitching: “The Nhere”
Not from here.

🧯🗑️⏳When your plan flops
| CREATOR series w. troll dolls
—

In CREATOR we make our art/content, but you can plan anything with this system.

Welcome to The New Rock Star Channel.
We use the analogy of planning one week of a rock star tour, where the choice for different gigs symbolize the art your post on your social media.

video recorded on Sunday 8 February 2026

Content is art!
A 100 Years from now, what you’ve shared online will have survived you. Consistency now, means a legacy later.

“But how?!” you may ask.

In 2025 I more or less accidentally tripled if not quadrupled my content, and without any of the stress it used to give me.
Accidentally, because I wasn’t looking for that.
But more or less, because I know exactly what system I was applying, and why it worked.

In this new CREATOR series, we explore the system’s different elements, and how they might help you.
I’m getting help from the trolls, who have given us access to their four storey dollhouse.

The only rule for these videos is:
– no preparation
Because any process you don’t know by heart, belongs in the trash bin!

Symbolism, legenda and keys to success, can be found at the bottom of this post.

In this video;

1. Welcome to a new episode in the CREATOR series 00:00
Where I share a planning system for content creators, because your content = your art!
I quadrupled my content in 2025, without any of the stress, so I’m just gonna share how I did it and what choices it required.

2. Setting up your week 01:38
🦸🏻‍♂️ Daddy the Tourmanager
🧐💡 Basement with infinite ideas
🏠 the Dollhouse representing 1 week of your time
✅ Floor of READY (first floor) = selected for planning
= the pieces you want to create this week.

3. Your week 08:13
Choose what you are going to create, what’s READY.
Create it, moving it from Ready to Doing to 🥳 DONE
And on Friday you review how it went.

4. When your plan flops 14:39
I had a major fallout this week.
Our system gives you several options to process and solve them.

5. Introduction to Scrum 29:07
The system I used for this troll house is called Scrum.
You are the artist = a Developer
Daddy the Tour manager = Product Owner
Problem Solver = Scrum Master
(I accidentally said Scrum Manager in the video, which is not the right word, it’s Scrum Master)

The next CREATOR series with troll dolls
will go out on this blog.

These are the trolls that are small enough to be moved up the stairs, and that you want to create within the next week.
🔧⚙️🛠️Second Floor: Doing
These are trolls (pieces of content) you started to work on, but that are not done yet.
🥳 Attic: Dome of Done
These pieces of content are done. You could post them anytime, or they’re already scheduled.
📢🎤 Balcony: The (online) World
Here’s where your babies are proudly shared with the world, they’re posted online.

🔑KEYS TO MAKE THIS SYSTEM WORK
🔑🛒consciously selecting pieces of content you want to create
This means breaking pattern with a free flow of creativity (it will not be for everybody)
🔑🔳🔲 separating creating from posting
This is what takes the stress out of it, but it may not what you want.
F.e. if your art involves posting about real time events.
🔑🧐🤓🩺📈Reviewing product and process
Solving problems and integrating any lessons learned.
new 4th key:
🔑🏆💰optimizing your art (posts) for success
But again, it may not want to be what you want.
F.e. if you value being authentic more than financial results or critical reception.

bring your A game

But play any day
What you don’t win, you learn.

I thought I still owned a copy, but unpacking the box that held all my unused business and mindset books, I could not find it.
I must have settled for knowing I already had the collected works of Florence Scovel Shinn, so that there was no need to hold on to the single book, The Game of Life And How To Play It.
Originally published in 1925.

I would have preferred to compare, and seeing that first sentence in double, but we will have to do with one.
“Many people consider life a battle,” Florence Scovel Shinn writes.
“But it is not a battle, it is a game.”

And one I started to understand a little bit better, as I cleared shelves so I could display all those unearthed business and mindset books.
I wanted them nearby, even though I stopped both mindset work a long time ago, and no longer see myself as an entrepreneur either.

So I spent the half hour it took me to get everything sorted, wondering:
“Why do I want these books nearby?”

And came up with two answers.
Which conveniently can both be tied to the idea of A Game.

First of all, I realized that I had indeed seen mindset practices as well as entrepreneurial practices, as a game.
That these books represent something I love, not something I need.
I love them just like I love Bon Jovi’s 2024 behemoth book “Forever”.

And the second was that these books were the closest I had to making a concept actionable, which I have been toying with since last year.
And that I expect to become my core message.

I’m obsessed with viewing life and in particular processes, through the lens of an apocalypse.
Symbolizing any mayhem that might uproot our systems.

Before anything, ask yourself:
“What are we looking at here?
How delicate is this thing, I’m about to commit to?”

The ultimate player can still play when A stands for apocalypse.

ABOUT THE LOST POST SERIES

I have been consistently posting “What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today” for a while now.
Starting June 2023, they found their final form as blogposts here on the Catacombe blog, pretty quickly.

But I’ve always been aware there were singular posts/ borderline poetry, still on social media, floating somewhere down my timeline.

Some at the beginning when I did not know what this series would be.
Some around the time in October/November 2023, when I lost access to this site.
And then a few in between.

And in addition to that there are the ones I did post on the blog, but whose stories revolve around things I no longer offer.
I will retrieve those too;
And give them a new story, that has the timeless quality they deserve.
