trust your art matters

Not the sales, not the likes, not the clicks, not the buys.
No question mark, no dot dot dot, not even an exclamation mark.
The art.
Full stop.

It is a returning battle for all creators.

The diabolical temptation to not just turn what we create into content, and to therefor unintentionally judge our work based on fleeting value, like judging a Michelin starred restaurant on meeting McDonalds criteria of having your whole order ready within a few minutes;

But also the ultimate end of this sliding scale where we consider quitting altogether.
I mean, why would you, if you can also buy 366 days of done-for-you content on a shoestring budget?
Or repurpose from your old projects, clipping it into more reader- social media- friendly snippets?

Why would anyone go through the time consuming process of creating anything original, if we live in a capitalist world that doesn’t even recognize the difference between a text written by, and imagery created by, AI, versus the ones made by human artists?

And in particular if you’re “only” using your creativity for your marketing;
Why bother?!

Why not just post something that just takes minutes, because you cut it from things you already created?
Although anyone who has ever tried this, knows that it is virtually impossible to do this without spending another hour creating something new.
Consider it a good thing 😉
But my point is, why would you do that?

Why would you regurgitate something that was created on a day that was NOT today?

I mean if your creativity itself expresses through curating, through building collections, through creating the perfect Instagram feed;
If your highest joy is to create a perfectly orchestrated marketing campaign?

Sure!
Go ahead!

But if your uniqueness comes from this message, this rebellion, this radically different view of anything and  everything, that you spent a lifetime coming up with and that is so deeply ingrained into you, it would by now be impossible to separate you two;
Then why would you?

Why would you repeat literally, what you created yesterday or yesteryear, when in a figurative sense, the message that will come out of you today, will be the same anyway?

Yes, you heard correctly.
Identical, the same, no different.

Because if your message is engrained into every cell of your being, it will be impossible for you to open your mouth or whatever way you express, and to come up with something “original”, as in something you have never done.
Your truth will be so deeply rooted, the same art will be created!

Over and over and over.

And there you go, that’s your art, that’s the thing you’re here to do.

To tell, speak, show, create and recreate, your deepest truth over and over and over and over.

Let the rest, rest.
Ignore it.
Let it be picked up by AI to be cleaned up and regurgitated into soulless dime a dozen content, that will probably receive more than the original.
Who cares.

Let your soul speak, let your heart speak, and never move back or lean back.

Be there, at the frontier, standing your ground.
Creating.

THE ROCK STAR

.
THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session.

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.

It is possible the above story has already given you an outline of what you want to discuss.

If you think you would benefit from a broader approach, 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 offer 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.
