it was never under your command
You decide what you do with the endless stream of ideas, the urges and the hunches, the inspiration and the passion.
Once picked up, some of them will stay with you for life. Others will leave. Sometimes without you noticing.
—
“You have the right to work, but for the work’s sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work.”
and
“Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender.”
Both from the Bhagavad Gita. (source)
And there is something about not being lazy in there too, but for now I’m just gonna go with the assumption that like your average prolific, poorly understood Rock Star, your art has the potential to devour you if left unexpressed.
That for you, the option of developing a Netflix addiction is not on the table.
Nor under the table, or within a five mile radius of it.
I’m going to label it a case of eating or being eaten, but between you and your art.
So in a very metaphorical, close to biblical Hero-journey kind of way, where every time The Call comes you roll your eyes thinking:
“Oh no! Not again! Please tell me, this one is not for me. I haven’t even gotten my head around the last one!”
But what if you would release any idea of you having to actually do, shape or manage it?
That even your skill and experience are not meant to be what you are relying on right now.
That it wants you in your purest, most receptive state. Not like a vessel, but like a doorway.
A gate from the world of ideas into reality.
In the four years I took my training as a yoga teacher, and a couple of years after when I was still very much living in the yoga world, the world of Ayurveda and of the Bhagavad Gita where the quote is from;
I encountered a strange but beautiful story, multiple times, every time from a different source, about the souls of unborn children.
That they pick you, before you are pregnant.
And that the Wise, who are initiated in this knowledge, can see the soul in your presence before you are pregnant.
They know that you will soon be.
So welcome every new idea, but do not name it yet nor get attached to its presence.
There is still a long way to go before it is manifested in a recognizable form and even longer before it grows into maturity.
But just like children, our ideas need us as facilitators and as stewards, using skills on the fly we didn’t even know we had.
They need us to be a strong gateway or lay the path for them into the world.
Whether it’s a business idea, a creative idea, an abstract concept;
Whether it’s an activity you’d like to pick up, a country you’re curious about, or an event you think should be organized;
Let the idea come through, and guide it into this world.
We do not know if this is their moment to be manifested in true form, nor do we know how long they will stay on this earth.
And it is not our job to know, either.

THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session.
We discuss what it is to be under command of the things coming through;
Not in command.
Even if you think: “But Suzanne doesn’t understand! It’s A LOT! I have no idea what I’m doing or which side is up!”
I know.
Bring all of it, this is the right place.
THE ROCK STAR is a one-time investment, and our conversation is confidential.
To book email me at:
s_beenackers@hotmail.com
Terms and conditions at:
https://catacombenijmegen.com/terms-conditions/
Once we know we are a good fit, my price is accepted by you and you choose to make a booking;
We move.
My suggestion will be to sort your story into:
1. the earthly plane
Your possessions, worldly matters, income streams, worries and responsibilities you fear you can’t meet.
A helpful term could be how do things look from the perspective of financial freedom, or worldly freedom.
2. your purpose
What is the work you love doing, what are the moments big or small, that you know you are aligned. Has God told you, what you’re here for?
This is about creative freedom, or even karmic freedom.
Are you free to do the work, that is yours?
3. your Rock Star expansion
What is the fullest expression you are here to bring?
And what are the areas you’re playing small, as if cut off from your powers?
We investigate if in those areas, the rules you play by are yours, or society’s.
“3” is related to sexual freedom.
Like anything, it is up to you if that is part of our conversation or not.
Because all three points are just a suggestion, they are a good framework providing one hour for every topic, to go deeper looking for answers.
But the setlist is not fixed.
I have merely built the stage for us, and we have three hours.
It is up for you to take it.
