come to your senses

Pleasure has the power to bring you down,
from the high of creative life
the scatteredness of the online world
To the now.

“To be understood at an energetic level.”
My new wording of what it is I see myself doing, or growing into, does not exactly feel natural yet.
Maybe it never will, I don’t know.
But it does feel as true.

Because with the overload of information available, and our instincts to combat complex situations and problems with adaptable and agile solutions (or with equally complex structures) I foresee the end is either in sight, or already behind us.

There is only one place to return to, and this is our body.
Not the mind, so easily replicated by AI, but the body.

Have you realized how deprived we have become?
In our digital experience we use our eyes, then audio, but our tactile experience is limited to typing.

Just think about the rich experience of taking a music cassette out of the small case;
The touch of a crispy sleeve of a vinyl record;

Or the mechanical sounds of a VHS tape clicking into the player.

I even remember the smell from the music section in the library, because the plastic cover sleeves of the vinyl records had such a peculiar, delicious smell.

I know a building where a rubber wheelchair dorpel over the doorstep makes the whole hallway smell like the building of the primary school I went to, when I was very small.
It’s like a timeportal in scent.

We’re so deprived right now, we’ve lived in a sensatory desert the past decade.
I expect people will look back on the 2020’s and wonder if we didn’t realize our entire physical experience had been marginalized.
Where the richness of life has slipped through our fingers.

Right now, one road leads to us becoming bad robots.
The other to us embracing our physical Self.

And with that?
Our vibration.

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.

I think what I had counted as a crisis of faith.

Because honestly, if you’d asked me a few hours ago, before I had a nap that lifted the grogginess, or at least softened its razor sharp edges of having less than 3 hours sleep;

If you’d asked me the future of this What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today – series;
The fate of my New Rock Star YouTube Channel;
And the fate of the Catacombe blog (tagline “become the Rock Star you were born to be“, which Chat GPT had made synonymous with my name even half a year ago already)

Then I would have told you, I was going to drop them all.
Poof, gone, sorry, can’t do.

Now three hours sleep does not even generate enough cognitive power to decide what to have for lunch;
Let alone what to do with what has felt as my life’s work, right from the first posts in 2022.

But I didn’t know that.
My brain wasn’t working.

All I knew, was that at least this disruptive sleepless night had given me one actionable decision:
Catacombe, was out.

It was not bringing me closer to my longterm goals and my workweek was spilling over heavily into the weekend.
Something had to give.
And it was not going to be my Dutch work (which I have been wanting to expand on for months)
It certainly wasn’t going to be my Bon Jovi-related work (which is at an incredibly meager once every two weeks)

No, clearly it was Catacombe had to go.

And if you’d asked me this morning, I would have told you.
Smooth and matter-of-factly.
Without making a big deal out of it, or anything.

Until I got some sleep and remembered when one cancels something that brings joy;
Clarity;
Empowerment.
A sense of ownership and direction.

And perhaps not just to me;
But to you.

You guessed it;
Never.

I’ve fallen head over “bootstrap” heels in love, repurposing these old posts. Which were the first of their kind, from a series (What Do Rock Stars Do Today) that ended up being my go-to format, committing to it indefinitely.

Today I also modified the Canva post, for the first time.
Adding the lesson onto it, something I did not do until now.

So today’s lesson is
“Act Ready”
And it’s definitely one I needed to hear as well.

Either these lessons from over two years back are universal, or I am such a slow and stubborn learner, that they are still relevant.

But the good news is;
I also learned good things can very well happen even when, technically, you are not ready.
Let me explain.

The readiness of your surroundings only matters as far as it is a reflection of blocking -or otherwise unhelpful- thought patterns.

In other words:
It is not your material world, nor the digital world for that matter.

For example always keeping your home clean, is not what brings you what you want: It is your (positive) conviction, that lies beneath it.
Your mental patterns.

There used to be a show, and I have never seen it, so it could be still on, but it was called:
Undercover Millionaire

Without a name, resources or a network, a millionaire would try to recreate their success, in a different location.
And nail it, while working themselves up from sleeping in their car, to earning their first million.

You know why?
Because in their head, they were still carrying the blueprint of success.

Our mind needs to be ready for what we want;
The rest will take care of itself.

It’s like a gate is slowly closing behind me, and I find myself in the process of looking back.
It is humbling to see how little I knew, in the times when I was doing great. And how much wisdom the past 8 years have brought, which were without a doubt the worst ever. 

They may not even be over, and I no longer need them to be.
To be okay with everything staying the way it is, it is the litmus test if my new philosophy, or mindset whatever you want to call it, is working.

As long as I am still dependent on external circumstances to change, then I am not done.

Any parts of the past 8 years which would still cause a meltdown if they happened again?
Aspects that need solving?
Urges that need satisfying?

Then they go on the (for now) imaginary To Do list, of things that need more time at the drawing board, or meditation cushion.
More deep conversations, more connection, more movement as well as more stillness.

Any part of the past 8 years that still stirs up emotions is a sign I have not been able to extract its lesson that will serve me forever.
Still not cracked its code.

And unless I do, that will always be a liability and I cannot have that.

The past 8 years have brought me a vision, of how I want my life to be;
My professional life, my private life, and even which (small) part of my work I want to curate, and leave behind.

But more than anything these years taught me that the gift is in knowing these things.
In having something to strive for.

Whether or not I achieve it needs be ingrained;
As entirely irrelevant..

As I just dug down for the second time, down the Instagram timeline where I posted the original version in 2023 –
two years of content flashed before my eyes.

It was a mindboggling trip down memory lane, where one would suffer too much from vertigo to take it in, just hopes it’s over soon, and then inadvertently opens their eyes to slow down and starts taking it in regardless.

Soon realizing that what is unfolding as two years of content history will be a particular brand of Incredibly Unhelpful.

It was like that moment when I realized virtually none of the people who were in my life an X amount of years ago, are still in my life.
And had to try very hard to not consider the entire connection as having been fake to begin with.

Because if a connection can fall apart, was it ever real?

So far everything in me screams No, but I’m just going to ignore that.
I just can’t live in a world where connections are not real.

Call me a romantic, but I have to keep believing that somehow they are.
Or will be.
That life will be different.
And that an X amount of years from now, everyone who is here now, will be here still.

In much the same manner, I now have to believe that although the glimpse of Timeline Past proves I have ended almost all series I ran in the previous years, and shifted my online work dramatically;
That the things I now post, are forever.

I have cut back on what I write considerably, and think I’m right.
This really is my core work, and it will stay this way.

But more than minimalist logic and romanticism, it is alchemy;
We create the new from the ashes of the old.

Friendships, businesses;
And legacies.

From the moment I started following Online Marketing, I was immediately hooked.
It’s difficult to estimate when I came on board, because my memories are a bit blurry.

I would swear I was still in my 2008 home when I discussed my first online business coach, yet my email box does not come up with any results on her name, before 2014.
Which was the year I discovered multiple ones, leaving me both entirely overwhelmed and euphoric.

But also puzzled, because how was this possible?

Every female business coach online provided nothing less than mesmerizing, earth-shaking, life-changing programs that elevated both working as an independent, as well as elevate your whole entire life to mesmerizing rock star heights;
Then how did I miss this?

And how come no one in the Netherlands talked about this?
Even though I had graduated on marketing and had been familiar with Multi-level marketing organizations without even knowing the word MLM.
That’s how new they had been at the time, and yet I HAD KNOWN them!

But this new wave of female business coaches, learning us how to run a business and to sell our services;
They were using the same words (marketing, small business, selling) yet I could immediately tell it was nothing I had ever encountered.

And how they had managed to make marketing in college so boring, when it was clearly anything but?

Q: Why had I missed the immense power in having your own business?

A: Because it has little to do with the actual running of the biz.

And absolutely everything;
With being the trailblazing Rock Star you came here to be.

I have ended my career as a yoga teacher, and told almost no one.
The first few days I was still convinced I would trade live classes and a local (side-) business, for taking online to YouTube:
– what I have to say about yoga
– what I have to contribute
– and what I have thought for many years would be mine to newly develop as well as to preserve or document for future generations.

I was convinced I’d continue online because I can make videos during daytime, not work evenings. And three hours spent making a video would be there for the ages, whereas the three hours it takes to teach one live class is temporary.

And it did make sense, because I have both been trained by the best, as well had a career that has span over two decades;
But No.

I will never make yoga videos again either.
It’s gone, it’s done.

I do know I will one day pick up teaching, but only locally!
Teaching those live classes was right for me. Creating a legacy or contributing something to the craft or industry itself, is just not my calling.
So despite those first few days, where I thought I may end my classes, but that I was committing to creating an online legacy, I ended up really retiring my profession as a yoga teacher as a whole.

Now don’t get me wrong, the biggest reason for doing so was definitely a very practical one, cutting this chord was indeed inevitable.
I am a writer first and foremost.
Not because I want to, not because I think it’s fancy or practical. Brutally honest truth;
Being a writer, or artist in general, is incredibly lonely and isolating.
No one in their right mind would choose it, but when you are, you are.
And you deal with it.

However, this means that together with the way I make my money, I already have two professions:
The Pro-one, and the writer one.
I can’t have teaching yoga there as a fifth wheel on the wagon.

So with earning money and writing, my workweek is already overbooked.
It’s a very simple equation.

That is all true. It is all very simple!
However!
What definitely did not help, was the complicated relationship society has with our physicality.
In particular with sexuality.
And even more specifically, female sexuality.

Which has been the case for thousands of years, and is deeply embedded in patriarchic structures.
But the online space and our use of social media has taken the objectification of female bodies to the extreme.

Now more than ever, we view ourselves from how others will view us.
We are performing.

Social media accounts where you are encouraged to accept and enjoy your body instead of performing, are rare.
And this indoctrination has been going on non-stop since 2015-ish.

It seems we owe people our beauty, and our looking nice, yet we are also still not entitled to our own sexual agency.

Female sexual repression is obvious, but naturally men are also sexually repressed.
Everybody is, and this is nothing new because this has always been the case.

By the time we’re in our mid-30’s, or hit 40, we’ve completely alienated from the whole Under The Belt Section.
And this will hold until midlife, where you have a chance to blow the lit off!

A good midlife crisis can do the trick of unleashing your repressed sexuality and all the other forces you have successfully suppressed for decades.
Or that society made you suppress before you were allowed to be a “part” of society.

In order to “belong” we have to de-sexualize ourselves or be openly monogamous. 

So this was already problematic, and whether or not social media had become as dominant as it obviously has, I would have figured it out one way or another.
There would have come a day where I would have figured out it is absolutely pointless to be known as a yoga teacher, and be seen as someone who has things to say about our physical well-being, when at the same time you have to play by the rules of being a sex-less human being.
We can’t talk about health when at the same time allowing for people to be cut off from their most visceral energy source.
Which is done by culture, and it is not our individual choice.
It is the price we have all paid, to belong.

Maybe the reason I have told almost no one I quit teaching yoga, is because I feel I am now FINALLY teaching it.
After two decades, I finally have the lesson for you in its unfiltered form, which will transform your physical and mental health more than anyone doing anything on the yoga mat has ever accomplished.

Want to know what it is?

Here is my yoga for you:

You are physically free.
Including sexual sovereignty.

there is only one you | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today | fifth of the “Lost Posts” series | 2025 03 25 + 2023 06 29 (OG)

there is only one you

And this person, this soul, this being beyond what the human mind can understand, holds within them;
the entire universe

original posted on my social media
29 June 2023

I’ve been known to hold an opinion or two about smart phone use, the way we use it as a pacifier, melting our brain and every bit of consciousness in the process.
But there is one thing access to the entire world in the palm of our hand has undeniable brought us;
A larger way of thinking.
A bigger way, of being.

For millennia we were not just protected by the intimacy of small local communities, we were also bound by its small-mindedness.
It was a belonging that came at the price of handing over your individuality, and taking on the uniform that was prescribed for your role somewhere in the margins.
Unless you were born into, or managed to acquire, the privilege of a powerful role which came with more freedom in all areas, including the right to express who you were.

We no longer live in these small communities, basically because we’d rather be intimately connected to strangers on the internet than to connect with our own neighbors or neighborhood.
And it would be very strange to call that an improvement in any way.
And yet;
In at least one major way, it undoubtedly is.

Because with the accelerated communication on our phones, and the boundless and delusional realms of the internet we now recklessly tread on a daily basis
– not acknowledging that the whole internet thing is like the dead marshes where thousands of souls who went there before us never came back and will spend the rest of their days lingering in the dark –
also came the advantage of having our world broken open.
Its boundaries dissolved.
The old rules washed away and everything starting anew.

The internet, which was originally hailed as the great equalizer because now everybody would have a voice, did free us from the toxicity, the repression and the passive (or less passive) aggression that used to tag along unchecked, piggybacking unto group structures.
But no more.

With our smartphones, it was like the hourglass was turned, and the structures of power were flipped with it.
Now the one who found their way around the digital world the first, were the winners.
And the real world became a trinket, where everything was so slow it could no longer hold our attention.

Our attention span shrank to the length of a TikTok clip, even for the ones who didn’t even have TikTok.
We think 30 seconds is a normal length for something to have.

But in the grand scope of things, 30 seconds equals zero.
And yet!
Here we are; Big!

Because we may have micro attention spans, but we have acquired a tremendous sense of size and possibilities.
A tremendous sense of Self!

Now I know that all sounds very egotistical but it has been a magnificent antidote against patriarchical structures, which I don’t think we would have gotten around to, if not like this.

Any culture repressing women and marginalizing minorities, and gatekeeping resources needs us isolated and not talking to each other about our shared experiences.
It needs to think it is us.

What the internet has brought us, is a sense of what “systemic” repression is. And that it dissolves with people being informed, and heard, and seen, and empowered.
And how do we do that?
We do it with the much cursed phone, we hold in our hand.

Our smartphone is a curse, in many ways.
But we must never forget, that it is also the thing that has dismantled structures of repression and authority, that would have been allowed to continue for eons more, had they not been so effectively dismantled by the light of the information age.

Like vampires in the light, they have burned and crumbled away.

The smart phone is a threat to our consciousness, yes. And we do risk drowning in the marshes and becoming someone who lives online and no longer has any awareness in the real world.
No longer able to think for themselves.

But it is good to remember that until very recently, we were not able to think for ourselves either.
Whether you were male or female, you were a hostage of patriarchy.
A set of hidden mechanisms of family roles, schools and employment structures, kept you in place.

Your mind, your awareness, your sense of Self, of who you are as an individual?
All acquired only very recently!

Don’t let it be taken away so quickly.
Fight for it.

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 additionally 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.

In areas that are not part of your natural creative expression, we can fall prey to intellectually designing them.

But in those other areas, what you skillfully did, was to create the space for it to happen.
To arrive, to unfold.

Get yourself and your affairs in order to receive.

original posted on my social media
28 June 2023

There was a bit of a crisis at Casa Catacombe, the past week or so.

If I had written this post from scratch today, instead of scrolling back to 2023’s Instagram for the text;
Retrieving the design from my old Canva;
And adjusting it to the formats I currently use – with the original photo missing from the Canva database, and not being able to choose the layout I wanted;

Then this post would not, have been about receiving.

It would be more hustle grind and definitely less flowy.

But I can see now that Receiving is (of course) exactly the right topic for today. My crisis was indeed about having resistance to creating space to receive.

The way I see it, excavating this text 15 months later, is that your work (as in what costs effort) is not what other people think your work is.
It’s not your craft, not your profession, not your talent or your gift.

“your natural creative expression” as the text calls is, in indeed the absolute least of our worries!

I remember there is this “thing” among professionals, that you have to invest in “sharpening the saw”.
That you have to invest in staying skilled at what it is you do.

Where in my opinion if you are called and have a purpose, that saw will be sharpening itself hour after hour after day after week after year.
Not a moment will go by when you are not nurturing it, everything you experience will directly feed into it.

If you have our type of saw, it does not need sharpening.

However, the problem we, people with self-sharpening saws, have is that everything else does not get done.
What the post calls:
“areas that are not part of your natural creative expression”

Definitely true!
In 2024 just like 2023.
Remember, the reason you have that Super Saw, is indeed because you have created space in your life so that Saw can sharpen itself day and night.
And regularly go on a much desired spin.

You’re not going to keep that creative saw you’re carrying there, in your shed!
Oh no.
You’re wielding it, it doesn’t have secrets for you.

However, what 2023’s post did not mention, and what 10 days of crisis at the Catacombe Casa can tell you, is that if you have this auto-sharpening, running saw, that you love to ride like others drive their motorcycle?
The *checks notes*, “areas that are not part of your natural creative expression”, will have a hard time getting a place in your life!

So yes, realize “all” you need to do , to receive in those areas, is indeed to create space for them.
True that.
But it does mean you have to carve out time, and a safe space for these blessings to land, with a free-spinning creative saw on the loose.

And that?
Can require some thought 😉

And for the unlucky ones, a crisis or two.

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.

original posted on my social media
27 June 2023

A few years ago, I started a website for my non-rock related pieces.
Which was something I never expected to need, because I have an alterego where I can discuss all the movie-related, artistic, and meta topics I want!
Had it for over 15 years.

An entire identity, fully separate from being Suzanne Beenackers, the Rock Star Writer from Nijmegen The Netherlands (who did not come into being until 2019, when I started the Rock Star Writer website)

So why on earth, would I need a new English blog for my deepest thoughts, about the nature of art, the source of our calling;
And about the nature of time, space and how we can be in it, in a creative way?

Instead of resorting to our day-to-day grind which suffocates and dumbs down the complexity of not just the nature of reality, but our very humanness….

Couldn’t I just keep the complex stuff “over there”, with my alter-ego, and allow for my work under my real name to be limited to the rock star topics, the yoga topics, and a Dutch blog which main purpose was to keep me connected to the world I am actually living in?

Could I for once, ignore the meta, far-and-beyond level of Life, if not to not burden my readers then to not mess up my status as a professional?

Apparently;
No.

And for the first year or so, the blog which I thought was going to be just a little something extra, brought forth my most profound work under my real name.
And it was even so good, that I nicked some of them, to publish in a book under my secret alter-ego.

It was obvious that even if it was for no one else, I, personally, needed this website to keep myself connected to this world behind the veil.
And to do it under the name of Suzanne Beenackers.

The website I started was called World between Worlds, and although the  final post is from 18 months ago (and a project I dropped after one post);
The older work is consistent and profound.

When I recently had to extend the subscription to keep the url/domain up , -an annual event that is bound to spark feelings of “do I really need this”!- I did so understanding that the answer was, and would always be:
“Yes”.

Because regardless of how you call it, God, Source, The Universe, or prefer to think in terms of the quantum and parallel realities like “World between Worlds”, like I did;
Every artist, and that includes any alter-ego you create, needs access to it.

Because we are not the creators in this world;
We are only its voice, we are its hands, we are the ones who transfer the world of the metaphysical into the physical.

Whether we were chosen or appointed ourselves, or never bothered to think about how we ended up becoming what others perceive as the creators of this world;
We are only, ever, to bring forth what already lay beyond.

Nothing, ever, needs creating.
Not by us, anyway.
