build your own church | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 10 19

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

build your own church

And let it be a private matter.

Select your divine objects, build the myths, map out the regiment for this sanctuary.
What are its daily practices of wholeness and holiness?

What are the rules upon entering, and how are they enforced?

—

There is a housing crisis in The Netherlands. Like most crises it was off course manmade. Had they continued to build at the rate it was done up until 1990, and (this is where it gets hypothetical) resisted the temptation to sell real estate from public housing associations;
None of this would have happened.

Supposedly, the rise of the number of households was predicted wrongly.
But since predicting it correctly would have involved the government spending more money, instead of saving it like a wrong prediction would, I doubt it was a case of getting the numbers wrong.
And I recently read they were instantly, and in no uncertain terms, warned against the dire consequences of cutting back on building new houses, in the early 90s.
But I cannot find that link so I will just leave it at it being my own not-fact checked belief.

But it is my own not-fact checked belief our current housing shortage is a direct long term consequence of short-term thinking, and more importantly short-term cashing, dating as far back as the early 90s, and continuing to this day.

However, regardless of whose fault it is, it is a fact that a lot of people are living together who do not want to.
Couples who want to get divorced, cannot even get separated.
Students still living with their parents instead of with other students, like was the custom up until the 90s.
Young professionals still living with their parents, and young couples not being able to start their lives together.

Not to mention families who are in need of bigger homes, in order to create privacy and a livable situation where the children have a quiet room for their homework.

And so on, and so forth.

I just saw a movie about the 1930’s, which were the crisis years here, as they were in many parts of the world.
I think the word is individuation; The ability to become your own person.
You need space for that.

In a society with great shortages, people will have a hard time negotiating even the most basic boundaries, let alone feel they have space to grow.
Or, as the title suggest, to build their own church. Even if I just intended that in a metaphorical sense.

And even if we do end up on the right side of the housing shortage, or whatever crisis our country is battling, even then;
Are you actually and actively executing and enforcing who you TRULY are?!
Are you the embodiment of your TRUE values?!

And if, coming back to the title of this blogpost, you are the embodiment of somebody else’s church, somebody else’s values?
I have good news for you;
This works too.
There is no necessity to make up your own church or your own scriptures.

But the problem is, most of us have NONE!
No rulebook or concept about what our set of guiding principles actually are.
And even when we do, wouldn’t you agree we still spend way too much time taking in other people’s opinion and considering angles to problems that are for sure, not authentically ours?

We still waste time and spread ourselves thin, because we have not conceptualized it to a point where an official religion would have effortlessly guided us through.
We’re coasting, flaking, failing and at best Forest Gumping our way forward,  where religion would have us aim HIGHER.
And have given us grid.

You know I’m telling the truth here.

So we know this is not about you and me joining some church, although that is totally fine too.
But this is about taking our own life seriously.

This is about an understanding that any scripture, playbook, set of values, or any daily practice and returning ritual;
That those are when we focus our attention, create intention, infuse awareness, and that will bring it ALL to life.

The understanding that if we would be as committed as religious people;
We’d be crushing it.

So go and crush it.

Build the church that was yours to build, to live the Life that was yours to live.

Amen.

where wholeness dwells | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 27

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

where wholeness dwells

In the unlikely event you’re looking to add a bit more misery and pain to your life
Yearning, for an uptick in anxiety.
Unexplained fears lurking on the borders of your consciousness.

Divide your attention over as many things as possible, and change those things as often as you can.

But if you’re looking for the opposite?
Work in a fully engaged manner.

—

It was someone whom I held in high-regard, although their scatteredness had already struck me as being somewhat of an Achilles heel in their teachings.

That although of course professionals of all kinds have the same right to make a mess of their private lives;
With the ones whom associate themselves with giving life and lifestyle advice, spillovers into their work stand out more prominently.

If my heating mechanic has been on a bender the night before, I could not care less as long as he fixes my kettle.
But if it was my GP, I would need to contemplate what my thoughts are on this.
If I think it conflicts with the values and standards I want my GP to have, or if I think it would affect the quality of their work.

And I would look at it from different angles.
Because although it might be tempting to say a family doctor should never have a hangover, since a good part of their patients will be taking alcohol, having no part in that does influence their ability to relate to what’s normal.

However, again, if it was a mechanic and not a doctor, I would forget about the whole thing as soon as my central heating system was up and running again.

So the fact that this was a professional whom, much like a doctor, has something to say about health and lifestyle, did put them in the more challenging category.
The one we tend to be less forgiving, and raise the bar for.

What happened is that I saw their personal, in my opinion flawed, lifestyle not just spilling over into their work;
But actually being advocated.

So they were not just showing signs of it, they were promoting it.

And the thing that was being promoted was basically to do two things at the same time.
One for your body, and one for your mind.

I have seen it in different forms too, where instead of doing it exactly at the same time, you make them really really small.
So then instead of doing this thing, whatever it is, and give it the time it needs and deserves, you give it 5 minutes or 15 minutes.
Squeezing it all in.

Just as bad.

I’m not saying you should never do that, but that doing so should at least be a very conscious and preferably temporary choice.
Or with the intention that even though it is only 5 or 15 minutes, you will give it your full attention.
But that’s a conscious choice then, for short “atomic habits” style things.

But if you’re actually doing two things at the same time, giving it your full attention is an impossibility altogether.

And in my opinion nothing good can come of that.
Consciousness must always be in the moment, engagement must be full.
And preferably both of them are in the body.

So although being fully absorbed in your computer work (what is referred to by Cal Newport as Deep Work) is also more gratifying and can lead to feelings of wholeness and happiness, it’s still a hard landing afterwards.
Because there was no one “home” in your body for hours.

The best way of being completely in the human experience, is to have your attention with what is it you do, and that the activity has an active physical component.
Even if it is just standing up on your feet instead of sitting.

However!
This physical component needs to be tied to what it is you do.

A painter moves around in their studio.
But if they would setup their canvas or, more likely, their digital creation device, on top of a treadmill, the activity of walking has nothing to do with the work they are doing.

The analog painter walks around their studio in an organic way, it’s integral to their work.

So if you want to improve your life drastically, start with culling everything that is not whole, or that even interferes with the wholeness of other things that would have been whole if it wasn’t for:
-the scrolling
-the messaging
-the call
Or even: the 5 minute workout
In my experience if I interrupt my deep work at the computer to do exercises that are supposed to help me physically, it dramatically takes away my concentration.
And satisfaction.
The quality of my work plummets if I start cutting in, regardless if it is for Instagram or squats.

Beware, in this age where even the ones who you trust with your health advocate methods where your attention can no longer land, be, reside, wander;
Chill, play, stall, and laugh;
With the rest of you.

hold the peace | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 05

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

hold the peace

When France was on the verge of being invaded, Anais Nin lived in a houseboat on the river Seine.
Weeks in which she committed to finishing her project of painting and fixing the boat.

Knowing, it seemed silly in light of the adversity ahead.

But it kept her from despair.

—

“Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity.”
That is how I learned the phrase in the 80s. 

But there are actually two origin stories to this quote, and both are slightly different to that one.

“Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.”
Misattributed, to George Carlin.
He never said that, but internet thinks he did.
There are entire pages dedicated to all the quotes falsely attributed to him.

And a sign in an Vietnam War protest in 1969:
“Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity.”
There is a photo from this one, shared on History in Pics, so we can assume this one is real.

Now there are few topics studied as intensely as the relationship between war, peace, politics or governing systems.
A conversation to which I will have nothing to contribute to, obviously.

But I do want to add an alternative quote which I found on researching the above one.
Words derived from a Roman record:

“Si vis pacem, para bellum”

If you want peace, prepare for war.

Fearing the price you have to pay for invading and taking over another country, seems just as essential to me as having a justice system in place.
Fear for the consequences may stop a villain in their tracks.

So I do not want to “dumb this discussion down” to pure pacifism.

As a final thought, before we go back to holding the peace, I want to add a famous story about a big venomous snake, taken from the Indian storybook “Tales and Parables of Sri Ramakrishna”.

It is the story about a snake going on the spiritual path, but getting in huge trouble because he was no longer fending for himself.
He was at the mercy of all who wanted to harm him.
And as sort of a ps he was also eating the wrong diet for his intestines, because he turned veganist.
Again, a difficult topic, because who is to say what the human intestines are made for?
But just putting it here, for your consideration.
Self-harm in the form of malnutrition, is also harm. If you want to live a peaceful life you must also consider giving your body what it needs. Veganism for humans too, should come from understanding or believing it is the best thing for your body. It should be an informed choice, not just a spiritual choice from not wanting to harm because then you are not counting harm to your own body.

But I digress!

Either way, so the snake was in poor condition when the sage who had given him his initiation, visited him again.
And the advice the sage gave him, was to stand up for himself:
“I never told you not to hiss!” he said to the snake.
A variation to the Roman saying, to prepare for war.

So obviously when I say “Hold the peace” I do not mean to not fend for yourself, to not prepare for war when you think that is what is required, and I certainly am not telling you not to hiss, when needed.
Taking care of yourself, and learning to stand your ground in this world, is a spiritual practice.

But what “Hold the peace” means for me, and in the light of this blogpost, is to not give your peace away.
Ground yourself in practices of beauty, like Anais Nin renovating her houseboat on the river Seine.
And do not give up peace in order to “achieve” the things in life you find important.

Because what good are our accomplishments, if we have given up our peace in order to achieve them?

If we have given up the peace in ourselves, and are now in panic, in anxiety, in anger?
How can whatever we achieve have been worth that terrible loss?

At the end of her life Anais Nin started giving lectures, and in one of them she looked back at the first years of the war, when she was still in Paris.
Before she would migrate to the United States.

Looking back, what did she learn?
What would she like to tell the audience about the origins of war, now that decades had passed?

“If each one of us took very seriously the fact that every little act, every little word we utter, every injury we do to another human being is really what is projected into larger issues (…)
Then each one of us would do the work of creating a human self that wouldn’t go to war.”

Anais Nin, University of Michigan, winter 1974

Because you really can’t fight for peace, any more than you can fuck for virginity.

But should you desire to do so?
Yes, you can HOLD your virginity.
You can protect the integrity of your body, you can revere its purity.
You can acknowledge and celebrate your virgin state.
Hiss defending it.
Prepare to fight for it.

And in the same manner you can HOLD, the peace.
Even when the enemy is on the doorstep, you can choose beauty.

Anais Nin called it;
“A refusal to despair.”

your soul always speaks | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 02

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

your soul always speaks

Your true voice can always be heard
Behind a veil of harsh opinions 
Self-doubt, impatience, arrogance or banter.

Its message is always the same, just that its fragility makes it easy too ignore.

Perhaps, too easy.

—

One of the oldest original children’s books we have in the Netherlands, features a shell that can speak. Multiple decades before digital navigation, this shell already told you how you needed to drive.
And contrary to everything that came after it, it even knew the smallest most obscure pathways.

It always pointed correctly, but because it was so unorthodox in its recommendations, it would frequently end up in an argument with its user. Or the user would get angry with the shell, and then the shell stayed silent.
It took things very personal, and you never knew if and when the shell had forgiven you and would start speaking again.

But you can bet it was never silent because it didn’t know the way;
Just that it refused to help if their contribution was not appreciated and what they said was questioned.

In the same way the message your soul speaks is available to you day after day. Maybe your soul is like the shell, and shuts down when it’s not being listened to.
Or when its advice is deemed too unorthodox to be correct.

But more likely, it isn’t that, what’s silencing the voice.

Just that your let’s say “worldly” thoughts, the ones you’re more comfortable expressing because they seem more logical and more on point, or because they are sexier or more badass – 
That they, are louder, more appealing, easier to choose and to feel good about yourself for having done the right thing.
But have you, really?

The things that are pure are not impressive or strong, nor things to parade around or to impress whomever it is whose respect you hope to win.

The voice of your soul is a soft one.
It does not command, and there are no bells and whistles to it.

But it is always correct in its directions.

And just like the shell it doesn’t waste time arguing.

After the shell had come out of hiding, to intervene at a crucial point in the journey where the protagonist would not have been able to find the road without help, the boy asked the shell why it had stayed in hiding before.
“Were you angry with me?” he asked.
The shell was quiet for a moment. Then it answered:
“Maybe I was sleeping.”

take the day off | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today | first of the “Lost Posts” series | 2024 02 05 + 2023 06 25 (OG)

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

take the day off

Whether you make that today, or you need to take your calendar:
Plan a day of not doing anything.
Even if it needs to be four weeks from now.

A day that can be filled by whatever the tides bring.

original posted on my social media
25 June 2023
—

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

But I was always aware there were singular posts/ borderline poetry, still on social media, single posts floating in space and time, 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, when I lost access to this site.
And then a few in between.

Today was the day when I decided to go look for them, knowing that I would probably have to rewrite the stories, making them timeless.
Some had been tied to my current offer at the time, things I no longer offer, and I wanted to carve out what I could still use from the text or write an entirely new text supplementing the few lines at the top (the actual message)

So here I was, all geared up to find the first post, cut it out, paste it and write a whole new story with it!
*insert muscle arm emoji*

And then the first of all the posts was the above one;
“Take the day off”

And all forceful effort just melted away.
Gracefully.

what floats, floats | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2023 11 03

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

what floats, floats

The things that appeared when we were just having fun.
The skills we now possess after simply doing what we love.
The people in our lives, after following our heart.

Have you ever wondered how impossible it would have been to have planned for those things?

—

There is a tendency to focus on what we need to create, build, master;
Compose, conceive, and receive;
Instead of honoring, considering and going with, what came into being without us even trying.

But just like the saying goes, that if you let something go and it comes back it is yours to keep?
The same can be said for all those things you never asked for;
They’re yours to keep. Really, to keep.

Where manmade reality, of any kind, is fickle, needs constant adjusting, readjusting, aligning and even redesigning?
This does not apply to what I will call “God’s gifts”.

The things, people, circumstances, Life, that comes to us, not from us.

From what I remember, the most important tool to live a happier life, is a gratitude journal, which is a notebook where you write down what you’re grateful for.
Every day.
And I’ll be the first to admit I don’t have one, although I tried many times. The first time in 1998 already.

My problem was that what started as a gratitude journal would soon become a log, a reflection of everything that happened.
It wouldn’t be long until my desire to keep a complete record of my days took over and the savoring of the good moments dropped to the background.
There was too much trying (trying to build the boat), and not much appreciating of the boats that were there all by themselves.

Whether you start a gratitude journal, or not;
Look for the boats you did not build, but that are happily floating throughout your life.

Be in wonder of everything you did not create.

THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session, for anyone who knows they’ve spent boat-building for far too long;
And know it is time to start sailing with the fleet that what was gifted to them.

And to open their ports, so the boats that already have their name on it, can dock their pier.
To stop staring at the terminals in the cabin of the harbor master;
But choose open waters with the eyes on the horizon.

THE ROCK STAR is a one-time investment, and our conversation is confidential.

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.
